Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader SDDR-89-A15
Customer Review: Easy to set up
Summary: 5 Stars
This was very easy to set up and it handles a large range of memory cards so that I don't have to worry about getting a new reader everytime I buy something new. It comes with a cradle with a built in USB cable to connect to your machine. You can remove the reader from the cradle and it also comes with a very short USB cable you can use to connect the reader to a laptop. This is a nice option if you want to travel with this reader. However, if you want to lay the reader on its side and connect it to a desktop you are going to need a separate USB cable. The USB cable for the cradle is built into the crade and the other USB cable is very short. All in all, I am very pleased.Customer Review: Very fast but need a longer cable
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this reader to transfer pictures from my 10Mp digital camera that uses SD card. The installation of the SW that came with the reader was a snap. After you plug in the reader, it displays 4 removable drive in my computer. When you plug in the SD card, the installed SW will automatically start on Windows XP.
The transfer speed is excellent. It transferred 85 MB worth of files in 13 seconds = 6.5 MB/sec.
There is only one minor issue to point out. The USB cable included with the device is a bit short. I wound up buying an USB extension cable. But the reader does provide an extra cable (very short) so you can take the reader with you.
Customer Review: Works Great and Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Great tool for digital cameras. Using this card reader instead of your camera will save a lot of battery life. Very easy to use and works right out of the box with Win XP. I use it with both the desktop and laptop and did have need any disks to load drivers. I've used SD, CF and Smart Media cards with no problems.
I only have a 1.1 USB port and though this card reader still works, it is a little weird at start-up (computer start-up that is). It says it may not work properly, but I haven't had any issues. I've also ordered a new high speed 2.0 USB pci card, I figured its time to upgrade anyway, especially with all the USB compatibale devices out there.
Customer Review: A Great 12-in-1 Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
Transfers files from many of my flash cards to my computer's hard drive seamlessly. With today's technology and the multiple flash memories, this reader covers it all! No drivers are needed to use this. It is definitely Plug-n-Play, meaning your Windows XP operating system recognizes this as a removable drive.
I think the reviewer below (GSP_Fan) is confused with this device before purchasing it. This is not an intuitive device and should not be compared to a digital camera or digital camera's software. It's main purpose is to use the operating system's drivers to work in conjunction with the reader to download or copy files to and from a hard drive.
Customer Review: Not too shabby, but I prefer the Dazzle.
Summary: 4 Stars
My brother lent me his compact Dazzle multi-card reader and I loved it! But then he took it back, so I decided to get the Sandisk one. It's cute and just as small as the Dazzle (I don't use the docking station). My one concern is that it doesn't stay connected to the USB cord. The slightest movement and it's out. The USB cord I use is from my Sony DSC-U60, and it works with almost every electronic device I have, so it's nice to have just a couple of hookups on my desk, rather than a ton of gadgets. But I might just end up using the docking station if the Sandisk reader won't stay put. So, other than the connection flub, it's a great product.
