1 Yes, USB 1, NOT 2!
I believe the write-up is misleading. I'm a geek and looked at this several times and nothing jumped out at me to indicate it was only a USB 1 device. Especially since it says USB 2.0 compatible. That's misleading because "EVERY" USB 1 device is technically USB 2 compliant. That's because in actuality, USB 2.0 supports USB 1! I too wasted my money on this as I already have plenty of USB 1 card readers.

And as an aside, I ordered a Dazzle Zio 2.0 reader and did a side by side test. It took 55 seconds to upload a block of pictures where the Dazzle took less than 5 seconds for the same block! Save your money.

BTW, I gave it two stars since it does work and is small and portable, it's just not USB 2.

2 THIS UNIT IS IS ONLY FOR USB 1.1 NOT USB 2.0!!!
THE MODEL NUMBER OF THIS UNIT ACTUALLY IS 1CFCR AND IT WORKS ONLY FOR USB 1.1 WHICH IS 6-10 TIMES SLOWER THAN USB 2.0.

JUST WASTED $15 FOR THE SAME THING I ALREADY HAVE.

One day this guy is finally fed up with his middle-class existence and
decides to do something about it. He calls up his best friend, who is a
mathematical genius. "Look," he says, "do you suppose you could find some
way mathematically of guaranteeing winning at the race track? We could
make a lot of money and retire and enjoy life." The mathematician thinks
this over a bit and walks away mumbling to himself.
A week later his friend drops by to ask the genius if he's had any
success. The genius, looking a little bleary-eyed, replies, "Well, yes,
actually I do have an idea, and I'm reasonably sure that it will work, but
there a number of details to be figured out.
After the second week the mathematician appears at his friend's house,
looking quite a bit rumpled, and announces, "I think I've got it! I still have
some of the theory to work out, but now I'm certain that I'm on the right
track."
At the end of the third week the mathematician wakes his friend by
pounding on his door at three in the morning. He has dark circles under his
eyes. His hair hasn't been combed for many days. He appears to be wearing
the same clothes as the last time. He has several pencils sticking out from
behind his ears and an almost maniacal expression on his face. "WE CAN DO
IT! WE CAN DO IT!!" he shrieks. "I have discovered the perfect solution!!
And it's so EASY! First, we assume that horses are perfect spheres in simple
harmonic motion..."

I was in a bar and I walked up to a beautiful woman and said, "Do you live
around here often?" She said, "You're wearing two different-color socks."
I said, "Yes, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."
She said, "How do you feel?" And I said, "You know when you're sitting on a
chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs and you lean too far so
you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like
that all the time..."
