Good, but ...., January 12, 2009
This review is from: Sandisk MobileMate SD Plus Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)
This card reader can read SD, SDHC and microSD (two different slots), the price is right and Sandisk tech support is easy to reach. However, my unit would NOT read any SD or SDHC disk I had UNTIL I figured out with Sandisk tech support, that you CANNOT push the disk in all the way until it is seated. You can only push it in until the LED light comes on and if you push past that point, the card's contacts will go past the reader's contacts and the connection is lost. The most annoying thing is that there is no detente or click or anything, you just have to "play with it a little" to get good contact. The microSD reader slot works fine however if you push the card all the way in.
Sandisk acknowledges a design issue with the card reader and said they talked to their engineers about changing it. I probably won't bother to return as it does work, but this is not what I expected.

Wonderfully Convenient, December 26, 2007
This review is from: Sandisk MobileMate SD Plus Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)
Just slightly larger in size than my Sony flash drive, this card reader has slots for mini and micro size SD cards. I use mine with my Kingston SD card - Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card (SD/2GB, Retail Package).
This reader has a cap that pops on over the USB connection and can pop onto the other end of the reader when in use so you don't lose it (I particularly appreciate this convenient little feature since I lose everything).
There is a spot in the cap to attach a carry strap that is larger than those little indented spots in most tiny items these days, so it's not so much of a pain to attach a strap.
It works great, is convenient, and is well designed. This is a must-have accessory for any item you will use in conjunction with just about any SD card.

Excellent speed on SD, microSD and MMC, November 17, 2007
This review is from: Sandisk MobileMate SD Plus Memory Card Reader (Personal Computers)
Tiny, inexpensive and stylish. This little card reader will read just about any type of memory card on the market today. Well... except CF (some digital SLR still use those).
Great device, esp if you have a PDA, PSP, digital camera or anything that could benefit from the speed increase. Tested with various types of cards and constantly scored read rates of over 10 MB/s, even more than 20 MB/s using a 1GB Kingston microSD.
