Anyone with a notebook these days will find that they also transfer media not only via optical disks and portable hard drives, but through memory cards as well. There is no shortage of memory card formats in the market, so getting a capable memory card reader is essential. Elecom's new MR-PCA12 PCMCIA card reader does not connect via USB but will take up one PCMCIA slot in your notebook before it can get down to business. The MR-PCA12 PCMCIA card reader is compatible with the new SDHC format, alongside old favorites such as SD, MMC, Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, xD, miniSD, microSD, microSD, RS-MMC, RS-MMC 4.0, Memory Stick Duo, and Memory Stick Pro Duo. Please take note that some of the above-mentioned formats require a special adapter before they can be read. The Elecom MR-PCA12 PCMCIA card reader will be released in Japan next month, retailing at the recommended price of $36.

Pros : Supports SDHC format as well as most major card formats
Cons : PCMCIA going to be phased out soon by ExpressCard
