SmartDisk today introduced its new USB-based VST Flash Media Reader, a dual-slot desktop flash memory reader for both CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards. The VST Flash Media Reader features side by side media slots.

The VST Flash Media Reader works with CompactFlash Type I/II and SmartMedia cards of all capacities and supports both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. It can transfer data at speeds of up to 1.2 MB per second. It also allows users to transfer digital files directly from a SmartMedia card to a CompactFlash card, or vice versa, without first saving the files to their computer's hard drive.

The VST Flash Media Reader is USB bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.

The VST Flash Media Reader is available in either a black and silver enclosure or a white enclosure with a snap-on color kit to match iMacs, iBooks and G4s. An evaluation version of iView Multimedia software is included for Macintosh users for organizing and handling media files of various types. The VST Flash Media Reader is priced at $69.95 and will be available at the end of September. For more information, visit http://www.smartdisk.com or http://www.vsttech.com.
