On the left is the Elago micro reader and on the right is the Lacie drive. Notice that they are essentially the same. The Lacie device is actually recognized as a SD reader by my system and the MicroSD card is glued in place instead of removable like the Elago device. The Lacie is FAR sturdier than the Elago device is, but Lacie elected to use a MUCH slower microsd card so performance suffers greatly.
