I also have one of these "Converter Drive" units of the Digital Concepts brand, which reads and writes both SD and MMC cards. It's double the width of a USB slot (when there are several in series) but it's offset to one side in order to take up only one slot's utility if it's placed at the end of a series of USB slots. It costs either $0.99 or $1.99 at MicroCenter stores (possibly also at <www.microcenter.com> also) and has worked fine for me for almost a year.
Actually, I purchased a dozen of these tiny units, and have given them to family and friends as a useful gift. No one has mentioned any shortcomings with their use. They are USB 2.0 (fast) units.
