Conclusion

TwinMOS 8in1

Just like the CnMemory 2in1 we reviewed earlier, the TwinMOS 8in1 is a USB stick which works with SD cards.

The green led lights up if a card is inserted and flashes when data is transferred. When a card is inserted it looks just like a regular USB stick.
The TwinMOS 8in1 can also be attached to a key hanger.

It won't win any beauty contests but if you want performance for a small price you really should consider this card reader.
