A portable reader that supports SD/SDHC/MMC/MMC II/RS MMC/Ultra II SD/Extreme SD/ Extreme III SD/ Mini SD/MMC Micro/T-Flash cards and chips. The plug-and-play reader works with Windows and MACs. I have a couple of other card readers that are suppose to handle SDHC but those that do work, have a slower transfer rate. I highly recommend this reader.

This card is faster at writing the picture to the card then the other SD cards I have used in the past. Plus at 4 GIG, I can take full resolution pictures and not worry about space! The reader works and is handy! You can plug it in to anyone's USB port and download your pictures with out using the camera or battery power!

My 4GB SDHC ULTRA II disk failed 3 mo's after I purchased it from Amazon. Contacted Sandisk after reformatting failed. After 3 weeks of waiting, I was told they WILL NOT WARRANTY PRODUCTS SOLD THROUGH AMAZON. They didn't give any reason for this action. (There was no damage or misuse on my part) Hopefully Amazon will correct the problem since they state a 5 yr. warranty.

I'll never buy another product from Sandisk, they don't have any faith in their products and neither should you. Very Very Disappointed.

Update: This was purchased through the Amazon website but Blue Proton was the actual seller. Blue Proton wasn't much help either, they charge $6 S&H for shipping warranty items. I'm disappointed all around, Sandisk should have warranted they product, Amazon should have helped w/ replacing the failed item and honoring the warranty stated on their website. Lesson learned; BUY LOCAL

As the product description notes, SDHC cards are rated (and priced) by class (2, 4, and 6). So when SanDisk rates their own products with silly words like "Ultra" and "Extreme" it just gets confusing. Just state it up front:
Speed performance rating for the Ultra II is Class 4

wicked awesome little card reader. Very portable, auto install on Vista/XP. Only reads SD cards, but that's all I use, so it's perfect for me. Card is sufficiently fast (faster than a typical Sandisk card, on a computer) but insignificant difference on my SD900. If you're using a card that uses RAW picture format, then the speed might be really nice to have. If you use JPEG (SD900 = 10MP JPEGs) then the standard card will probably do just fine :)

I ordered on 1/1/2008 night and it was delivered (I live in MA) on the 4th (standard shipping). The ULTRA II SD card seems to be very fast. The reader is a bit filmsy but it works.

I mainly was looking for a decent SDHC card for use in a new P&S camera. For those, the write speed is not so critical, so the ULTRA II is plenty fast enough.

They say that most of the memory card brands are all identical. That may be true, I'm not sure. But I have always stuck with SanDisk to save and capture my memories. They cost slightly more than other no-name brands, but if I'm paying hundreds of bucks for a camera plus hundreds or thousands more to go on vacations and other trips, then I am willing to pay a few bucks extra for memory cards from a name I trust.

I have 8 memory cards (CF and SDHC) from SanDisk - varying from ULTRA II to EXTREME IV depending on my needs - and none have caused me any grief thus far.

The bonus memory reader was a nice bonus, as my MacBook does not have a built-in reader. Nothing special about it, but it works. Enough said.

I've been using this memory card and card reader regularly for over five months with no problems. The card reader feels a bit flimsy, but works great.

This does work fine with my DSLR Nikon D40. I could not get this new SDHC card to read on my 6 month old card reader nor my Canon Powershot. But if you use the USB SDHC reader it worked fine. The price is very good.

The card capacity is huge and the speed is fast. No problem transmitting pictures from it using the camera USB connection.

Some issues with the reader. Doesn't seem to want to work with my D-Link power hub but is fine when plugged directly into a a USB port.

The combination package is recommended.
