Installation
If you using XP then the installation is simple, just plus the unit into the supplied USB and cable. Then plug the other end into a spare usb slot on your computer - voila, the drivers are installed automatically.

The reader shows up in my device manager as 4 devices, one for each card slot.


[one device for each card slot (4)]

It also shows up in my windows explorer as 4 drives, again one for each card slot.

Testing
Using HDTach I ran tests using the card reader and camera to see which was the quickest.


[tests conducted using a 64mb SD card]

I ran the tests a few times to make sure there where not wrong, and even used different usb ports. The darker red line is the usb card reader, and the lighter red line is my camera. The results speak for themselves.
