Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader SDDR-89-A15
Customer Review: Dud
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my brand new iMac when the Windows laptop I previously had died (and took its built-in card reader to the grave with it). I needed a reader that accepted multiple formats because one of my Nikons uses SDs and the other CFs. I thought SanDisk made good products ...
Until I'd had this for about a month. It intermittently refused to sense the SD card, and when it did, and I copied the pictures off, then would not release it again.
I now have a $20 doorstop.
I haven't tried it with other types of cards, but have no reason to trust it. This is the last SanDisk card or card reader I ever buy.
Customer Review: OK, could be simpler

When opening the package, there is a warning sticker on the USB cable that you need to install the Button Application. After doing so, i found that the Button Application kept popping up on screen when i was trying to simply transfer files from the USB drive to my computer.
Bottom line: If you only want to transfer files using Windows Explorer, just install the drivers (look in the driver directory on the CD).
If you need this device to transfer the files for you to some magical location on your computer hard drive, install the Button Application (which installs the drivers for you behind the scenes).

Customer Review: Sandisk Imagemate 12-in-1 Card Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
I received the Imagemate very quickly. Seems like every 2-3 years I have to change card readers due to changes in the Windows operating system, same computer hardware. This has happened with various brand card readers. My current system is a PII, 400 Mhz, open architecture system. When I recieved the reader, I followed the installation procedure and had no problems scanning images into my computer. Scanning seemed a little faster than my previous reader, placing 62 images on my hard drive in less than one minute. Now if this reader will transfer to a future system with no, inexpensive or a free software ungrade. I'll rate it 5 stars.Customer Review: SanDisk SDDR-89-A15 ImageMate 12 in 1 Card Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
I was unable to transfer photos from my SDHC cards so, since I had a previous SanDisk ImageMate, I checkd to see if they offered a new one that would read the new SDHC format. Fortunately they did so I ordered it and have been very happy with it. I always keep it connected to my USB port for ready use but I like the docking station because I can keep the reader out of the way until I want to use it. I always use SanDisk compact Flash and SD cards so knew their reader quality would continue to be as good as their earlier model and their cards. Price was right and the product works as well as advertised and expected from their company.Customer Review: Disappointed

After about 6 months of working properly this reader began to fail on me. The first signs of trouble began when I found I had to reinsert my 4gb CF Cards multiple times before the reader would recognize them. This was intermittent. Over the past month, I can't get it to read any of my 4gb CF cards. I get formatting errors. Now, it won't read anything but my 512mb card. I shoot in RAW with my Canon 5D and I need much more memory than 1/2gb.
I've tried two other readers and these 4gb cards read just fine on this same computer. I'm now stepping down and purchasing the SDDR 92. If it fails, I'm kissing SanDisk goodbye.
