This is a great product and it worked great with Win98 but when I upgraded to XP, it did't fly. Sony's suggestion was to use 2000 drivers, but that didn't work either. XP has been out over a year and still Sony has not written drivers for it. If you don't use XP this is an easy to use device, but if you do...beware.

I bought the reader a few weeks ago and used it with Windows 2000 and it worked great. I then upgraded to XP and found that the drivers would not work, I went looking for new drivers and found that the US1A will not support XP and that I have to spend more money to buy the new model reader US20 to be able to read my memory sticks with XP. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed with SONY in this case.

This is a great little gadget for reading the info saved on your Memory Stick. The tranfer rate is pretty fast, and it is incredibly easy to install and use. After it is installed it acts just like a zip disk so you can drag and drop the files you wish to transfer.

I love the fact that I don't have to run down my camera battery while transfering my photos to my PC. It is small and can be unplugged and stored easily, so it doesn't take up valuable desk space. For a few bucks more Sony makes a USB Mouse / Memory Stick Reader combo, but this by itself is a great product and a pretty good value.

VERY disappointed! It was wonderful with Windows 98, but the driver recommended to download for use in XP doesn't help at all. Sony has no answer. Am also finding that using the memory stick to transport Word or Excel data frequently corrupts the files and loses data. Seems the memory stick is best left to use in cameras then viewed through directly hooking up to the computer.

This thing was recommended to be used for transferring files from the camera instead of using the USB cable when I had lost the latter. It turned out to be a bit unstable and have destroyed some precious picture files while transferring to my XP computer. I recommend sticking with the cable direcly connected to the camera instead, and if you loose the cable, try buying it from cables-to-go.

This little thing is great because you can transfer data files to your PC with this thing just by sticking the Memory Stick into the the adapter, and then hooking up the adapter to your PC via USB port. It is so easy! I use this thing all the time to transfer data files from my NW-MS9 Network Walkman player back to my PC! I love this whole Memory Stick Media thing and it is so convenient and versatile! This thing is wonderful and very impressive because it is so fast! I recommend this device highly! Hope this review was of help to you!

First, let me say that buying from Asena Shop has been the best by far! I received the item sooner than I expected it. It was in better condition than I expected. The item was easy to set up, and easy to use. Overall, everything from shipment to item beat my expectations. I will, without a doubt, be shopping from this seller again. Thank you so much!
