1 out of 5 stars Sandisk 6 in1 has it's limits.......2003-12-28

I have tried it with a 512 Sandisk SD memory card. 1st on a win98SE laptop platform, & subsequently on a WinXP desktop w/ USB 2.0

In both cases the process starts OK & then stall @ about 15 Second left when copying to the HD on the pc with files over 1MB.
The PC then locks up.

In win98, a newer driver must be downloaded from Sandisk's website.
In Win Xp no driver required.
Each port shows up as a different drive letter to allow copying from one type card to another.
When the disc copy option is selected only options for other media in this device are listed, along with floppie ( Not HD's ).

5 out of 5 stars Works fine with XP Home on Pentium 2.4.......2003-10-14

I plugged it into a free usb 2.0 port and 3 mins later it was ready to use. I have only tried it with a smartmedia card and it works well. I tried it with WIN 2000 SP 2 and no go, it really does have to be SP 3 or better to work with WIN 2000.

I took 68 pics with my fuji 4800 today at 4MP resolution (interpolated), took out the smartmedia card and put it in the sandisk 6 in 1 for transfer... believe me it is very fast compared to making the transfer from my camera (at USB 1.1) Pics showed up almost instantly in Windows Explorer, seconds later I was slideshowing in Picasa!!. So far no complaints..it's fast and very mobile. It does what I want it to do.

I'm a happy customer !

3 out of 5 stars I hope the store will take this one back ..........2003-07-19

I've had a [$$$]SD reader for some time but it's a USB 1.1 and even waiting for the folders to open was too long for me.

I shopped (too quickly) for a 6 in 1 (now 8 in 1's out there) and picked up this SanDisk USB 2.0 reader. After taking a lot of pictures I couldn't wait to plug it in and ...wooosshhh... them onto my hard drive.

No go ... I plugged it in and XP did its bit to auto-install the drivers and then told me that the drive was unavailable "J:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, ...". After some digging around I realized that Norton AV auto-protect disables the drive because it considers the SD card to be a boot drive - DISABLING NAV allows this card to work just fine thus far.

So, it it NAV fault or SanDisk? - no idea but until I find out that all readers do this then I'll be trying to return this one. Now I'm off to remove drives H,I,J,K,L,M from my computer.

If you don't have NAV auto-enabled then this card reader may be just the one for you.

4 out of 5 stars Quite good - just a bit delicate.......2003-06-26

Very capable and suits all my needs - I had to replace it as my first failed as a result of bent internal conductors. But, I did replace it with another like - so I must like it.
