Digital music and photography enthusiasts constantly want more and more removable data storage capacity.
FlashGO!, a USB single-slot flash memory card reader/writer, is available to support all five flash memory card formats, including Compact Flash (Type I and II), Smart Media, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital and Memory Stick, as well as IBMs Microdrive.
It plugs into the USB port and enables virtually any kind of solid state media card to be plugged directly to the computer's data path.
High-speed data transfer is just part of the attraction. It works by using a standardised adapter to link cards to computers. The card is inserted into a plastic adapter sleeve which is then plugged into FlashGO!.

This little device takes a lot of the irritation out of downloading images and makes it possible to upload music on to cards at an speed. acceptable.
