Customer Review: Works Sometimes With Effort
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using and have been frustrated with this product since early February. SanDisk's Tech Support has been of no help; they just blame the drivers, etc. When they are backed against the wall they just want me to send it back to them for replacement, which can cost me almost again what I paid for it.Anyway, I can get it to work if I restart my PC. If I eject the memory card as they instruct I get an error dialog: "Cannot Unmount Volume"(red circle with an "X" in it and an "OK" button). When I insert the next media into it I get another error: "'disk' refers to a location that is unavailable". I then have to restart the PC to use that memory card.
When I get the thing working there is very little speed improvement over my older ImageMate CompactFlash Reader SDDR-31 that uses the USB 1.1 standard. Transfering a 141MB file using the 6-in-1 device took 1 minute and 31 seconds. The same file took 2 minutes and 45 seconds on the USB 1.1 device. That's not even twice as fast. This test was conducted unscientifically using a SimpleTech STI-CF/256 256MB CompactFlash card. The timing was done with a stop watch timing the period of time that the file trasfer dialog was being displayed. My PC is a Dell Dimension 4550 running Windows XP Professional SP1. This PC uses the Intel 845P chipset that supports both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. The USB ports were not being used for anything else during the test.
From my searches on the Web, I have found that I'm not alone when it comes to problems with this device. SanDisk promises much and does not deliver and is quick to pass the blame to others. They make a good product with their Ultra CompactFlash line of memory cards. They need to pass along this type of engineering and quality to their other devices.
Description of SanDisk SDDR-86-07 6 in 1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader
The ImageMate 6-in-1 Reader/Writer is the first-of-its kind; a hi-speed USB 2.0 multi-card reader/writer that connects to your computer's USB 2.0 port. Because USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 1.1 ports, the ImageMate 6-in-1 Reader/Writer will work with all existing USB ports. The ImageMate 6-in-1 provides the ability to write data to and read data from flash memory without connecting your digital device (digital camera, handheld computer, digital music player, etc.) directly to a computer.
SanDisk's ImageMate 6-in-1 Reader/Writer is the fastest way today to transfer pictures, music, data and more to and from your computer. It accepts the following memory types: CompactFlash Type I and II, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard, and Secure Digital Cards.
