Reader sits flush; SD cards do not.

ByKennedy Brandton October 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

The version of this SIIG card that Amazon is shipping in late 2009 ("12-IN-1," CE-E01012-S1, rev. 02-0393B) is a bit disappointing. The reader itself sits flush with the computer case (MacBook Pro 17" Unibody), but the SD card still sticks out almost half an inch. I bought this one based on a previous review which stated that the SD card fit flush, too, and that one wouldn't have to worry about it breaking off. Maybe that was true with the "11-IN-1" rev. 02-0393A, which is the one that Amazon still has pictured here, but it's not true anymore.

For fit with the card, this one is actually worse than the Sonnet card I bought it to replace. Side-to-side play with the card is considerable in the SIIG, while there is practically none with the Sonnet.

As a card reader, it seems to work fine. There's simply nothing about it that makes it stand out positively in the crowd.

Caution for Lenovo T410s users - Works, but does not fit flush

ByBillon September 29, 2010

Verified Purchase

While the functionality of this SIIG 12-in-1 card is not in question - works as described, easy Win7 recognition and automatically setup,SD card read and write...it does not fit well in the Lenovo T410s model laptop.

The T410"S" is the slim line version of the T410, and as such has a shallower case and a inward bezel at the lower portion of the laptop. Lenovo's design doesn't allow for a flush mount of this card, so you are not likely to leave this card in the ExpressCard/34 slot as it's likely to catch on your case or other items.

Even though Lenovo shows the 11-in-1 SIIG card on their accessory website, those looking for a flush fit and to permanently leave this card in their Lenovo T410s, forget it!

MacBook Pro Compatible!

ByJohn Romkeyon June 7, 2006

Verified Purchase

Except for an issue with sleep, I've been very pleased with this card. It's the first ExpressCard that I've bought for use with my MacBook Pro... there aren't really a lot of things you need to use the card slot for, but I've been very pleased with this card. It works without any additional drivers; just pop it in, then pop in the memory card. For my camera's memory card, iPhoto comes up automatically and offers to import my photos. Copying is very fast.

Buyers should note that it doesn't support Compact Flash cards; they're wider than the ExpressCard slot is.

I've found that my MacBook Pro doesn't sleep properly with the card installed. It starts to sleep then immediately wakes back up. I thought at first that it was a problem with the MacBook and was going to call Apple, but I realized I'd left the card in its slot... removing the card before sleeping the MacBook Pro takes care of the problem.

Works flawlessly in MacBook Pro

ByTomon June 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

This card reader works flawlessly in my early-2008 (Penryn) MacBook Pro. I never take it out. I use it routinely to read the 2 GB SD card from my camera, and I've also used it to write MP3 files to a 1 GB SD card for use in my car. Have not tried other types of memory cards. I have not experienced the sleep problem that other Amazon reviewers have mentioned. Perhaps that issue was fixed by an operating system update. There are no drivers to download or install; just pop the card into your MacBook Pro and forget about it until you need it.

It's a gem on my MacBook Pro

ByN. Richardson February 10, 2008

Verified Purchase

At first, try as I might, it would not go all the way into the slot and stay, but after reading other reviews here on this page and checking online, I tried pushing it in with a flat hard object and that was just the extra leverage it needed. No more popping out each time I pushed it in. Now it's in there and there it will remain because it is so convenient. Thanks to other Mac reviewers who gave me the added determination to make it work! :-)

Excellent add on for Macbook Pro

ByTech Funon April 26, 2006

Verified Purchase

Despite no offcial support for Mac OS X, this card runs with no problems with the Macbook Pro. A previous reviewer has said this and I absolutely agree.
The card fits flushed with the slot. It reads all SD media that I have thrown at it - from a lowly 16mb panasonic, 256mb panasonic, 512mb Lexar and a 2GB Sandisk (Blue). All work seamlessly. At 39.99 with free shipping its the best price I could find if you are buying from California.

Edit: The card works great with media but there seems to be an issue with OS X sleep. When the card is connected to the Macbok Pro it seems to prevent it from going to sleep. The work around is to eject the card . Wait for the MBP to go to sleep, then put the card back in. I am not sure whether this is a card specific issue or PCIexpress slot issue.

Reads fast, power and eject a bit odd perhaps?

ByScoopster Gadgetmanon January 9, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is my first Express Card device, so that may color or skew my comments. I'm using this with an IBM/Lenovo T60 notebook and SanDisk Ultra-II SD cards from my Canon digital camera. The read speeds (copying images to the PC) is very fast -- several hundred MB in under 30 sec. Haven't done much writing of data. The push-push style SD adapter works well for getting the memory card out.

When I want to eject the memory card, I stop the "drive" (i.e. the card reader) from the system tray; this actually disables the reader. If I reinsert the SD card, I have to physically eject the reader from the express card slot and reinsert it. If the reader is installed in the slot without any memory card in it, then the reader shows up as a "drive" in the windows explorer interface -- much like a CD drive or floppy drive show up even if no media is present. I mention all of this because it is slightly different behavior than my old PCMCIA reader.

Given that it shows up in explorer even when no media is inserted, I assume there are active components on the board that are drawing some power. This may have a marginal effect on battery life, so when I'm on a long plane ride, I often disable or eject the card reader.

Unfortunately, neither SIIG's web page nor Amazon's give a lot of technical info about power consumption, etc. I would like to know more about the power draw. I would also like to know if I can just eject the SD card at any time, or if it's necessary to stop the reader via the system tray; I didn't find the answer in the documentation.

Linux support

ByGHon December 1, 2006

Verified Purchase

Because ExpressCard runs over the PCI Express or USB2 bus, this card works perfectly in Linux with no special drivers!

Also mind that it is a 34mm ExpressCard, so it is pretty small and will not fully populate an ExpressCard54 slot.

The card will work fine in a 54mm slot, so it is purely an aesthetic issue, but one to consider nonetheless.
