For maximum versatility, the 12-in-1 reader supports virtually every memory card format currently available with no additional adapters required. In addition, multiple cards can be inserted simultaneously for card-to-card data transfers. It comes with a docking station that is convenient for desktop owners who also want to use the ImageMate with their portable computers. For travel, the multi-card reader can be removed from its docking station and used with a short cable included with the reader/writer that allows for easy plug-in to the USB port of portable computers.
