Minus a memory card reader, one has to directly connect the physical device that uses memory cards to the computer. This is usually done via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or Firewire cable. The advantage of a memory card reader is that memory cards can be read directly on the computer without attaching the device. This greatly simplifies using, storing and organizing memory cards. It also saves batteries and wear-and-tear on the camcorder or other digital device.
It is common for people to own more than one device that uses flash memory cards, with each device using a different type of card. A multiple memory card reader will accept a variety of formats making it useful for all of your memory card needs. These readers commonly feature two or more slots to accept different sized cards.
When buying a memory card reader, make sure it supports the type of card(s) required. This includes the card's capacity in addition to the format. Some models might not read flash memory cards larger than one gigabyte, for example.
