5.0 out of 5 stars If You Have A Mac, August 11, 2007

This review is from: Sandisk MicroMate Reader - for SD and SDHC memory cards (Personal Computers)

I mostly bought the SanDisk MicroMate to use on the road with other people's computers. When I did use it with my Mac at home, it locked up my entire system and forced manual reboot. Didn't matter what type of card, how many gigs, etc. I read online that a lot of other Mac users are experiencing the same problem. I called SanDisk and here's what I found out ...

According to SanDisk, Mac users must insert the card into the reader BEFORE inserting the reader into the computer. That makes sense now that I think about it ... I was inserting the reader first into the computer, then inserting the card.

So, this is a fine product! Don't let internet reviews detailing mac crashing problems scare you away from buying. Try putting card into reader, then into computer, and you should be fine. Worked for me!

My new A-DATA 8GB SDHC card works fine in my Canon SD800 camera, but wouldn't show up on my Mac desktop after I plugged it into my Sandisk MobileMate card reader. Enter the Sandisk MICROMATE, which turns out to have been designed to handle the newer, higher-capacity SDHC cards, as well as earlier generations of SD cards. The MicroMate is an efficient conduit between my A-DATA, Lexar, and Kingston cards on the one hand, and my Macs on the other. No drivers are needed -- it's all plug & play. The device has a little green light that powers on when the reader is inserted into a USB port. It comes with a transparent plastic cap that protects the USB plug; when you remove the cap to plug the MicroMate into your computer, the cap fits on and over the slot on the rear of the MicroMate (and over an SD card that you might have inserted there), so that you don't lose it. On a critical note, the cap also has an opening in its corner that lets you hook it onto a keychain -- an asinine design because if the reader detaches from the cap, you'll still have the cap but stand a good chance of losing the device itself. Other than that (and the caveat that this thing looks like it shouldn't cost more than ten or twelve bucks), the MicroMate is a nicely functional, able performer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it needs to do... I just wish it came with a USB extender, March 5, 2007

Works great with SDHC cards... but if your USB port is recessed, you may not be able to plug it in all the way. And if you have side-by-side ports, you'll probably cover up the ports next to the one you're plugged in to. I wish it came with a little 3-inch USB extender!
