I like Sandisk's 6 in 1 reader. It works well with my Sandisk 1 GB card and it is backwards compatible with prior USB ports. Also it has a detachable base which helps with mobility and looks cool. It was a breeze to plug and play on my P4 2400 Mz Dell running windows XP.

Only negative I read while researching this on the internet prior to my purchase was that some people had problems with it reading older 128 MB Viking cards. Also I don't think it reads MS pro, but then very limited number of readers currently do.

I believe the best price I found was @ amazon.com for a little over $31.00 as it is currently on sale there with free shipping and no tax.

My brother and I each have a ImageMate 6 in 1 SanDisk USB2 reader. So far, there has been no issues other than it's not cheap :).

In Win XP it was plug n' play, no software or anything.

The only one that I heard some had trouble with, was the Dazzle unit.

There is a Lexar 7-in-1 out at http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0157485

Makes working with multiple memory formats easy! This fashionable USB 2.0 reader with a streamlined design is the fastest available reader and is compatible with all SD, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Compact Flash and Smart Media memory cards

Looks like the Sandisk 6-in1 does not read MSPro:(

I just bought the Lexar. I think it is the best I could find and it handled MSPro.

I got 4 MS Pro compatible PC's, but no MS Pro sticks. So any 6 in 1 reader would suffice for my brother and me.
