Some multi-format readers come with software drivers. I have a belkin one here and the drivers have been known to map the reader to drives spontaneously. this can be disconcerting if you expect your f drive, for example to be your personal one. I've also experienced problems when it's taken over the network drive. However, I also have a tiny plug and play SD card reader which works a treat.

Is there anything in particular to look out for or pitfalls to avoid. Any advice will be appreciated.
