Works like it should [Posted on 2008-06-20] I needed an inexpensive, yet reliable, SD flash card reader for my Sansa player and digital photo frame. I was toying with the idea of installing a 3.5" multi-format reader in my computer but most of the reviews here and elsewhere were very mixed. I've had good experience with Sandisk products to date so I decided on this unit. I don't bother installing the software for these types of devices. I just let Windows XP find it as a removable drive. So far it has worked just like a USB thumb drive. I also like that the SD card sticks out about 1/2" so there are no buttons to push or break. Thanks Sandisk and Amazon.
great product [Posted on 2008-06-25] It works well I only wish it was more compatible with the Mac. The button does not work with Macintosh computers, but the reader still works just fine. Plug a card in to it and the system detects it. To eject the card on the Mac just use the normal drag and drop, or if you have it set up right click procedure.
Destroyed my SanDisk Ultra II memory card [Posted on 2008-07-06] This card reader worked great for about year or so, then one day it corrupted all the files it transferred. Luckily, I was still able to transfer the pix directly from the memory card/camera to the computer. But THEN when I tried to use the card again, it would not work. So, it completely destroyed a SanDisk Ultra II 1GB memory card. Needless to say, I can't use this product any longer.
Great little device [Posted on 2008-07-09] This little does what is advertised without any problems. I load music for my Sansa player and unload images to my PC. No complaints.
Works fine, doesn't need software [Posted on 2008-07-12] This product works just fine on my mac. I use it mostly to transfer photos from the xd card in my camera. There's a piece of tape on the reader that says something like STOP! Do not use this product without installing the software! That's BS. You don't need the software. It works just like any other usb card reader where you just plug it in and your computer knows it's there. I didn't use the software because of past experiences where software like that will make itself the default reader for your photos and run random background programs that slow down your system. Other than that, this product is pretty fast and so far it works well. I'm not sure what the button is for, but when I plug the reader in iphoto starts automatically and I can just import all my photos by clicking my mouse. That's easy enough for me.
