     The Enermax Card Reader comes with everything you need to get up and running.  Enermax even includes a free carrying case.  Inside the carrying case is a mini driver CD (Not to be confused with the actress, Minnie Driver). 

The card reader and USB cable fit nicely into the case.  The case also has room for four memory cards and the driver CD.

     This is an external card reader so you can pretty much put it where you want.  I chose the top of my case just for ease of access.  Once installed, you will notice four new drives in your windows explorer.

     I like the fact that each drive is labeled CF, SM, SD, and MS just so you can take a quick glance and know which drive is for which media.

Testing

     I tested the card reader using a Compact Flash card and Sisoft Sandra.  The device was hooked up to a USB 2.0 port.

Conclusion

     The card reader performed just like it was supposed to.  What I mean by that is, when you buy a device like this you don't want any unexpected surprises.  The Enermax 7 in 1, was easy to install and use.  Within a minute the driver was installed and the device was ready for use.  You really can't ask for it to be simpler.  The device is small and easy to transport from computer to computer with the included carrying case.  The device also has an aluminum exterior that should provide the device a little protection from small drops.  I "accidentally" dropped the card reader 3 feet on to a tile floor and the device still functioned properly.  The Enermax Aluminum 7 in 1 Card Reader can be yours for only $17.99 at Newegg.  That is an incredible price.
