Review on SanDisk ImageMate Memory Reader SDDR 89 A15 by Brandon Christianson

Trivial actually, but my *only* problem is that it takes up four drive letters when plugged in. It's not like I really need that drive letter, it just makes the My Computer lists a bit cluttered. But other than that, this reader is great. It took me longer to get the reader out of its packaging (that plastic shell) than it did to set it up. Literally just plugged it in, XP recognized it and within seconds it was up and running. So far I've used CompactFlash and SD memory cards with great success. You click on a card and it's instantly available, when you're done just swipe the card back out. Speeds are generally great. Much faster than when I connect the camera directly to the computer (Digital Rebel XT and old Olympus D-510). It's as fast as copying from one hard drive to another. The package contains a reader/writer, a long USB cable, a short USB cable and a docking station. You can leave the docking station connected to your computer and take the reader/writer and short USB cable with you on the go, for example with a laptop. The reader/writer isn't very large and fits easily in a laptop bag without taking up much space (or weight). The silver and black design should make a great addition to any table. Add a great price to all of the above (even better than Revain) and you can't go wrong. An excellent purchase for those who have many different types of digital media, or for those looking for the fastest possible transfer speed.[.]
