USB SD Card Reader for $2 at Office Max
I've come across this in a couple places between here and HoFo, but I just wanted to throw out a friendly heads up to everyone. Office Max has the reader for $2 ($12 - mail in rebate of $10). I picked one up, it can plug directly into your USB port, or it also comes with a USB cable.
PS- Instead of using another post, I need to double-check (this is something to pay attention to if you go there yourself). They have a few different types of memory card readers going on the same sale. They told me the one that reads Compact Flash cards is the one I was looking for. Is that correct? They had a few other types (ones that read memory sticks, different sized memory cards, etc...).

Just got back from Office Max. This is an SD reader/writer. I can confirm that you can plug it directly into your USB or use the included cable.

I hate to keep replying to my own post, but here goes.
This is a USB 1.1 reader/writer. They have USB 2.0 readers/writers available. I am not sure if they have it at Office Max. Quick search yielded about $18.00 for the USB 2.0.
USB 1.1 - 12 Mbits/sec = 1.5 MB/sec
USB 2.0 - 480 Mbits/sec = 60 MB/sec
So to transfer the WHOLE contents of the 128 MB card would take
USB 1.1 85.53 seconds
USB 2.0 2.13 seconds
Can someone (who is interested) check my math.
I searched, but could not find if TransFlash might limit this transfer rate.

Thanks man. Glad it worked out for you too. I'm going to have to at least return mine...hopefully I can exchange it for an SD card reader. I didn't see any of those when I was in the store, and that's why I was wondering if compact flash was right. Either way, it's a damn good price. Good look on the speeds, I wasn't too sure on that...I'll prob stick with the cheap slower one we have here!

Your welcome. Let me know if they have the USB 2.0 version for the same price.

Um, you need the one that reads SD cards 😳 🙄

Now, why the hell would you say that? I was trying to help you. At the store they told you "the one that reads Compact Flash cards is the one I was looking for. Is that correct?" I was trying to tell you they were wrong, you needed the one that reads SD cards. Oh well... Try to help a guy and he calls you a douchebag...

Does the $18 instant rebate show at the register? I went in to grab one and the price was $29.99 and the sales rep didn't know of any instant rebates. He could have just rang it up to see, but I was getting irritated and left.
(I already got the $10 rebate form off the website)
