Digital camera reviews of SmartDisk USB Tri-Media Reader
Digital camera Review: A Much Needed Drive for the New Macs Owners
Summary: 4 Stars
Why don't new Macs have a disk drive? I don't know. But since they don't, this is an essential buy. I have it hooked up to an iMac and it has worked without fail for me. However, I have only used floppies and flashcards with it. So I don't know if it has trouble with smartmedia cards.Anyway, this drive's design is great. It takes up very little space and matches perfectly with graphite iMacs/Macs. And it's USB powered, so there's no worry of an extra plug. The only negative is its somewhat high price.
