Negative Positive
Title: Aged Technology
Review: Please be aware of a few facts about this item. It only operates on FAT formatted disks which leaves out most of the larger capacity portable USB storage media. It only works using USB 1.1, a 12 megabit/sec transfer rate. (The current standard, USB 2 has a 400 megabit/sec transfer rate). I purchased it to transfer images from my camera card backup drive to a portable DVD drive. This unit fails to recognize either unit. The product, delivered 3 days ago (APR 2007) has a sticker on the bottom stating it was manufactured November 2004.I'ts possible someone may have a use for this item, but for most consumers with relatively modern portable storage devices this unit is not useful in the slightest.
