Vantec 8 in 1 Card Reader & USB 2.0 Hub

· by John Chen

Small digital peripherals are getting increasingly popular. I’m sure that someone will agree with me when I say that the small memory cards should just be one standard form. Since it’s not, OCIA checks out the Vantec 8 in 1 card reader. That should suffice all the different types out there.

“The three USB 2.0 ports are located on one of the short sides of the unit, which is just wide enough to accommodate these. As you plug devices into the 3 ports, lights located on the top of the unit will light up. These lights don’t seem to serve much purpose other than a rudimentary check that the cable is plugged in firmly, but still a nice feature. On the opposite side there is the USB to computer and 5V power port.”
