Kingston Technology Digital Media Guide - Manual (Page 12)

Digital media reader-writers can enable the uploading and downloading of data at
higher speeds than a host device is capable of supporting; for example, a USB reader-
writer will be much faster than a host device (such as a digital camera) using a serial
interface. If a host device does not support high-speed transfers, the faster reader-
writers will significantly reduce the data transfer times.
Kingston markets a number of digital media reader-writers for the convenient
attachment of flash storage devices to personal computers or notebooks.
For flash cards, Kingston recommends the flexible and convenient 4-in-1 (four form
factors supported by a single reader-writer) units that can accommodate most of the
flash card form factors available today and can be connected to any notebook with a
PC Card Type II interface. Kingston also offers Hi-Speed USB 6-in-1 Flash media
reader-writers for high-performance data transfers to systems supporting Hi-Speed
USB 2.0.
CompactFlash to PC Card Adapters
Flash card adapters are convenient slip-in receiving frames that allow a
CompactFlash card to be converted into an ATA PC Card (Type II) storage device.
Many notebooks and other devices supporting ATA Type II PC Cards also support
CompactFlash cards when CF cards are inserted into a CF-ATA Flash card adapter.
