Does such a thing exist? And I mean something where I can plug 2, 3, 4, etc. memory cards in at one time and have them all transfer to an HDD.

I dislike clutter.

Then, something like this perhaps? Expensive though.

Or perhaps this is exactly what you're looking for. Not sure how reliable it is.

That second one is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Actually, that Lexar gadget looks pretty neat. Thanks!

I have the Lexar HUB, it saves time when you download cards. Remember, ONLY Photomechanic has the ability to download 4 cards simultaneously at the same time. Other programs download one by one so if you are not using photomechanic pretty much it is useless. Double check with your software before buying.

Haven't used this function all that often, but Lightroom has long let you setup imports from multiple cards at the same time if you have the readers to support such a task.
