Does anyone know what a card reader is? I have an adapter but some told me I needed a card reader
hi Sheryl a card reader is essentially a device that accepts several types of storage media including sd-cards and micro-sd cards there are also different types of card readers including : 1) a dedicated card reader which only has memory card slots these accept SDHC (UHS-I), SDXC (UHS-I), microSDHC, Compact Flash, MS Cards and many more 2) card readers with usb2.0 ports these are like dedicated card readers but also have 1 or more usb2.0 ports for even more storage capability ( more expensive models support usb3.0 ) 3) card readers/fan controllers . these again are like dedicated card readers but also have controls to change the speed of your case fans finally theres also portable card readers which are probally the best choice for most home users these are usb devices and the card reader simply plugs into any spare usb port on your pc or laptop . this then allows you to read most types of memory cards . a good example of this is the Signalex Multislot Card Reader ( poundland .uk/leisure-and-e ) and at just ?1 its extremely good value . ( ive purchased several of these and they do the job very well .) I hope this has helped Sheryl. any questions let me know good luck mate !
