1 Fantastic Value
When a product works flawlessy and does everying you expect at this price point, all you can say is VERY COOL! Do not hesitate to buy this product if you are using the cards it can read. You won't go wrong.
2 Best Price I've Seen
I already had an 8-in-1 reader and didn't realize that it couldn't read xD. You see I'm new to the digital imaging market and just bought a new digital camera. It turns out I needed an xD reader/writer and the SanDisk 95 fit the bill.
The price for one of those CF/xD adapters was too much, the same goes for the USB/xD adapter and the PCMCIA/xD adapter.
I needed something inexpensive (so that if it dies in the field, I can buy a new one w/o remorse), compact and travels easily with the camera.
So far the performance is admirable.
3 Good product for a good price
Nothing much to say - it reads and writes SM and XD cards with no problems whatsoever. Plug-n-Play is nice; I was up and running in a matter of minutes, right out of the box. A great price also, since everything I found in stores was around $20.
The only disappointing thing about this purchase was Amazon.com. The reader arrived in a severely tampered-with package. The entire back compartment that houses the USB cable had been cut open and was dangling, and the entire supposed-to-be sealed plastic rim that surrounds the package was cut off. Luckily the reader didn't appear to have been tampered with, and I'm assuming that maybe the cable was swapped out or this was a return. However, whatever the reason, there is no excuse for Amazon to ship out a new item in this condition. There is no way that someone could have overlooked this, other than simple lack of concern. Out of the 10+ purchases I have made with Amazon, this is the first one that has disappointed me.
4 awesome!
this is great! TRUE plug and play with both MAc(both 9 and 10) and Win(all versions 2000 and up)
so much better than a pny one - which isn't true plug and play at all even with windows xp you still have to install the drivers from the cd =(
ScanDisk products a also very reliable.
