Digital camera reviews of SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader SDDR-89-A15
Digital camera Review: Does what irt is supposed to...
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this memory card reader because my prior card could not read SD memory cards greater than 2 gigs. Unfortunately, the prior 8 in 1 ImageMate could not be upgraded via software. Not willing to make this mistake again, I purchased a 12 in 1 ImageWriter and checked ScanDisk's website. For a given model, there are multiple serial numbers wherein some can be upgraded via software and others can not. Further, you can not discern the serial number until you remove the product from its buble package. So, you may have a problem if you unknowingly buy old stock online. Way to go ScanDisk! But it keeps their sales churning! Product is nicely built. New 12 in 1 has push button on the side that launches app that transfers files to pc but not vice versa. I found this app not very useful.Digital camera Review: Doesn't work at all for me
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been trying for weeks to get it to reliably read my SD cards. I've got two different brands of cards (one SanDisk, one Corsair) and I tried 3 different computers, 2 PCs and a Mac, and pictures read from the card come back corrupted a good fraction of the time, even though they are good on the card (other card readers will see them). I got a replacement unit from SanDisk and it had *exactly* the same problem. Even just copying pictures to the card from my PC and then back onto the PC, results in corrupt images. The only constant in all of this the fact that the images were originally shot with the same camera (a Pentax) but it's hard to imagine that the camera that created the JPEG files could be a reason for the corruption.
Online tech support tries to be helpful and they are prompt, but can't do anything but keep sending me replacement units.
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work well with Windows 2000 or Windows98
Summary: 1 Stars
My Imagemate seems to work well with WindowsXP, but has never worked well with Windows 2000. It seems the operating system isn't able to turn it off and now it won't read it at all. I tried the troubleshooting advice on SanDisk's web site and that didn't work. I also tried to install the drivers for using the device on a Windows98 machine. The installation didn't work. Technical support has been useless so far. I can't recommend this device to anyone. If it works, it works fine. If it doesn't work, you're pretty much out of luck.Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: Easy installation
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product and easy installation. just plugged it in and it works. I only use the SD slot but I'm sure the others work just fine.
