I don't understand how the card reader works. It is one big slot. The description says 8 in 1. How do I insert various card sizes??

It may be that DEll will have to explain this one slot fits all card reader. I have had sereal dells, all with the card reader... all took the same size SD memory card... Every camera I have owned for about 10 years used the same SD memory card size and the same size slot that is on the 660s pc...

The single slot on the 660s pc accommodate the SD memory cards that is so common on most devices. The specs on this pc describe the slot as accommodating 8 different memory cards... if the 8 are of one physical size, they should work... if the size varies I see no way to use the single slot... earlier model dells did have several different size slots for the media reader.

That question is far beyond my level of expertise. I'm using the card in a 9 year old camera that can't read anything larger 8Gb and I couldn't find any 4Gb cards locally so I've put 2 8 Gb cards in the adapter. I disengage one card until I fill one and then disengage the full card and engage the second card. That works well for me. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It will not hold 2:cards in each slot, it starts to mark up your screen, I could only put 4 bills in there because you have to food the tip before theyre able to fit.

You just have to hook up the whole reader to your computer and you can insert up to four memory cards in all four readers and save them all at the same time in one folder. This saves a lot of time instead of uploading individual ones to your desktop.

Well, there is 3 other answers where they put lots of cards in each slot, but I only put one per slot. I have in the past put two, back to back, but I wanted to be able to read the back so I only do one now. I have noticed that over time, many years, and when packed in a box/binder with at least 100 page protectors that cards may be difficult to remove and sometimes the slot tears. This was more of a problem if I had more than I card in the slot.

Haven't heard of this before. I use a 3rd party reader and haven't had any problems, been using it with my 1000x 32gb as well as 800x 32gb.

There are caps on both ends of the Card reader. One covers the USB connector and the other covers the SD/Micro SD card. On the SD Card end, on the inside there is a place to insert your SD card and a separate location to insert a Micro SD Card. I didn't know that when I initially bought the reader! Hope that helped!!

Without the card reader you can't insert the card into a computer. It will go into a phone, but not into a computer. The card reader is an extra piece that fits into the computer.

It should fit in a computer/laptop SD card slot. If it doesn't you can get a multi card reader for as little as $15-20.

I had the same problem. I found out that I needed a 1 gig card and had bought one that had too many gig. I tried the 1 gig and it worked just fine. Good luck with it.

the specs for this computer says its a 5 in 1 card reader ( xD-Picture Card ), ( SD Memory Card ), ( Memory Stick PRO ), ( Memory Stick ), ( MultiMediaCard ) Have not used it yet though...you can probably check this out with the store representative before you purchase

If the reader has a USB 3.0 connector then this should work perfectly fine for you. I purchased a USB 3.0 card reader as well and it functions perfectly fine using this 2.0 converter. Good luck!

The cards cannot be sized. They will only be as large as your screen. If you haven't already done it-toggle to the full screen mode.

No I cannot. The card reader did not work. It was missing a switch. I cannot use it for anything. The price was low enough that I cannot justify the postage to return it.

I couldn't get it to work with anything. I've sent it back for a refund. But there are three SD card slots, one regular size, one micro, and the other I presume is a compact?

I have not bought this item yet. However, I have a tablet that advertised a reading of up to a 32 GB microSD card. I tried a 64 GB microSD card and it worked. With this device you should try a 64 GB card and see if it works. What these companies do is they only advertise what they tested their devices at. If the 64 GB ends up not working, then at least you know it will work for the 32 GB that they do advertise.

I have tried this adapter with 3 different readers and it did not fit any of them. It is slightly thicker than a normal CF card. For my purposes, I had an open face reader, so it didn't matter how thick it was. But it doesn't seem to fit in my readers.
