Amazon.com Product Description

SanDisk's ImageMate Dual Reader SDDR-73 is a handy external CompactFlash and MultiMediaCard/Secure Digital memory card reader that connects to your computer through its USB port. The card reader's two slots let you write data to and read data from flash memory without having to power up or even connect your digital media device (digital camera, handheld computer, digital music player, etc.) to the computer.

It's easy to use--just drag and drop your files. And you'll save precious battery power when you let the ImageMate, rather than your portable device, transfer your files. Minimum system requirements for Windows are a Pentium-class PC with USB support; Windows 98, 98 SE, 2000, Me, or XP; and a CD-ROM drive. Macintosh requirements are a computer with USB support running Mac OS 8.6, 9.1x or later, or OS X v10.1.2 or later, and a CD-ROM drive.

2.0 out of 5 stars A pain in the [butt], August 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: SanDisk USB CompactFlash and Secure Digital/MultiMedia Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)

I have had one of these for weeks and have had Hell's own time trying to get it to work with Win2K. When it is kind enough to let itself be installed, it stops woring when I restart. I got complex instructions from SanDisk support involving a registry edit and it failed again. Now they are telling me I need to use it with a powered hub. I bought one, and I will try it, but for now it is an expensive paperweight.

This review is from: SanDisk USB CompactFlash and Secure Digital/MultiMedia Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)

I have a digital camera that uses CompactFlash, and a Palm that supports secure digital cards. I wanted something that would enable me to read both formats. This product came to the rescue. It works with no hassles on both MacOS X and Windows XP. It is compact as well, I can put it in my camera bag and bring it anywhere.

This review is from: SanDisk USB CompactFlash and Secure Digital/MultiMedia Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)

So two things happened that [were bad]:

1) I bought a laptop, not realizing that it didn't have a floppy drive.

2) My digital camera came with a secure digital card that was WAY too small to be useful (16MB), and I immediately replaced it with something practical. Now what to do with that tiny little card?

Needing a way to transfer files at home and at work, I bought this great little card reader. I love it!!

The set up was a little shaky; I couldn't get get it to work and it kept crashing my computer. After about 10 minutes of this, I put the card back in the camera, reformatted it, and PRESTO! Works great, and with XP required no set up software. I can hardly believe something this useful is also so [inexpensive]. I guess they figure they'll make money selling bigger cards.
