4.0 out of 5 stars CAN NOT BE USED as alternative for USB flash drive if you are using an SD card, March 8, 2006

This review is from: SanDisk SDDR-103 MobileMate SD+ 5-in-1 Mobile Reader (SD/ MiniSD/ MMC/ RS-MMC/ TransFlash, Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

Like one user said earlier, THE SD card slot is on the side, and MOST of the SD card will stick out when you plug it in.
so You can NOT just plug the SD card, and leave it there, and use this card reader as usb flash drive, IT WONT WORK. (u can not carry it out with you with the SD card sitcking on the side).

However, using it as card reader (which is how it is intended to be used), it works perfect for me. I use it with my Patriot 2G 133X SD card, and it works flawlessly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, March 14, 2005

This thing works great. It reads and writes quickly to SD cards. I had some trouble getting a Windows XP and Mac OS X computers to write to my SD card (kept complaining about being write-protected), but this was resolved by inserting the SD card not quite all the way. I have not tried the MobileMate with a Multimedia card. My major complaint is that the cover for the card slots is not permanently attached. If one attempts to swing it out of the way to insert a card, it falls off. A drop of Super Glue was a quick and permantent fix. Another complaint is that this tiny thing is power hungry. It must be attached directly into a computer's USB port. It over powers any USB hub - even the USB hub in a Mac keyboard.

Can't go wrong with this one. It reads MiniSD cards without using the adapter. Previous reviews are correct to say that it can't be used as a jump/flash drive with the card inserted as the card makes it stick out like a sore thumb.

I bought this in conjunction with a 1gb MiniSD for my Verizon Wireless LG9800 cell phone and I use it to watch videos and listen to mp3's. It's as quick as using the phone's internal memory. Used a 'regular' SD card that I use for my camera and PDA, and it's nearly as fast as moving files to and from another hard drive. Using this reader is faster than using each device directly to transfer files!

It comes with a handy 6" USB cable that lets you fit the adapter into tight spots. The whole end of the device lights up when it's plugged into your computer. I'm very satisfied with the performance of this item!
