Review for SANDISK MICROSD 2GB 3IN1 ADAP:
I haven't got anything that uses the mid size adapter so cannot comment.
Postage may seem high, but overall I thought this was a good deal compared with other suppliers.

Card works fine, no problems
The card works fine in my HTC S730 Smartphone, and it also works fine in the large adapter in my laptop where I copied loads of mp3 files onto it.I haven't got anything that uses the mid size adapter so cannot comment.
Postage may seem high, but overall I thought this was a good deal compared with other suppliers.

Review for SANDISK MINI SD 2048MB CARD:
Very Good For The Money !
I own the 02 XDA Mini-s Mobile phone (Brilliant phone) and it requires the SanDisk Mini SD 2GB C/W SD Adapter. Its a 2 GB which is plenty of space for videos and photos and music. I think £7.25 is a amazing price for what you are getting, considering a Ipod nano is a 2 Gb and holds 500 songs of good quality.I would buy this product for this price :)
Hope the review helps!

I've used this with XD, SD Ultra II and MS cards and it has performed fast and flawlessly. I've had it a few months and it appears to be well made and small enough to take anywhere in your briefcase or camera bag.7
Review for SanDisk ImageMate 12in1 USB 2.0.:
My only criticism is there is no mention of how to write to a card in the instructions, which accompanied the device.
As an aside Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is great software with an excellent tutorial.

Review for SanDisk ImageMate 12in1 USB 2.0.:
just what I wanted
With 5 stars from the previous reviews it was a must buy. My reason for buying this device was to transfer selected photo images onto an SD card to display on our TV set, which has an SD card slot. It's simply a case of drag and drop the selected photos to the blank card and they play on the TV.My only criticism is there is no mention of how to write to a card in the instructions, which accompanied the device.

Review for Memory Stick Duo adaptor for Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro:
One thing that did concern me was when I was using it in my Lexmark printer, it wasn’t that easy to pull out, but thats not Sony’s fault.
It works very nice in Sony equipment with the spring mechanism though
If you have a PSP or digital camera, this really should be part of your arsenal

Very Necessary
This really is an essential piece of kit that you’ll need if you use Memory Stick Pro Duos, or just duo cards. It’s very simple to use, just pop it in the adapter and it’s ready to go.One thing that did concern me was when I was using it in my Lexmark printer, it wasn’t that easy to pull out, but thats not Sony’s fault.

Not sure?
Took a lot to get working. The problem appeared to be caused by bad connections. I don't know it this will be an ongoing problem with device. Used it for some days, no problems. Have found that format FAT is very wasteful, format FAT32 is not, but was much slower.13

Review for Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 All-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer:
Be careful if you want to move data between different types of cards on the fly though, as (at least) one of the slots is overloaded i.e. one of the slots takes two different types of card, so sharing between them would not be possible. This isn’t really a problem though, since even if you end up in this situation it’s easily solvable by copying the data to your HD and then swapping cards to write it onto the new card.

Does What It Says On the Tin
Works as advertised, no problems. It’s seen as a USB mass storage device in Linux (and presumably Windows) and works smoothly.Be careful if you want to move data between different types of cards on the fly though, as (at least) one of the slots is overloaded i.e. one of the slots takes two different types of card, so sharing between them would not be possible.

Excellent card reader for the price.
I have not tried all the cards in this or done extensive tests but it reads and writes Sandisk Extreme III and IV and that is straight out of the box without even installing any drivers. I am running XP with a USB 2 socket.17

Review for Kingston Media Reader - Card reader - 19 in 1 ( CF I, CF II, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MMC, SD, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD, RS-MMC, MMCmobile, microSD, MMCmicro, SDHC, miniSDHC, MS Micro, microSDHC ) - Hi-Speed USB:
The device appears on your PC as five removable drives, one for each of the card slots, and it was quick to recognize and load the cards that I tested.
The only slight weakness is that the built in USB connector is on a very short lead, which may not prove practical if your USB ports aren't located near the front of your PC/laptop. However, an extension lead is provided with the card reader, so this isn't really an issue: just an extra cable to carry around with you.
All in all, given the price, portability and performance of the device, I'd have to say that it's excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Great Value Card Reader
To date, I've used this card reader to read both CF cards and microSD cards and the transfer speed is impressive: transferring a mixture of JPEG and RAW images from a 4GB (133x) CF card took less than four minutes, which is about 18MB/sec.The device appears on your PC as five removable drives, one for each of the card slots, and it was quick to recognize and load the cards that I tested.

Review for SanDisk ImagaMate 5in1 USB 2.0 with Button.:
Excellent value and performance
This smart and compact card reader does exactly what you'd expect for a very good price. SDCard performance is excellent (tested with a Sandisk 1GB card), as is xD-Picture card performance (tested with a 128MB Fujifilm card) and Sony Memory Stick Duo (tested with a 128MB card). It supports all the major card formats so there's no point looking for one of those readers that supports 10 other obscure formats by sacrificing size, looks and performance.It's definitely plug-and-play on Windows XP (no drivers/software required) although software is provided to activate the button on top.
Very nice little product which makes life much easier.

Review for Kingston 15-in-1 - Card reader - 15 in 1 Hi-Speed Card Reader/Writer:
I managed to fix the damage the first time round and the card has gone without problems into the camera and into a Sandisc reader and the integrated reader in my notebook, just not this reader, which will go on the junk-heap before it damages any more cards;
maybe I am unlucky, but be forewarned of the possibility.

damages my SD cards

Careful Scotsman
I recently bought the Sandisk Extreme III SD 4GB Card through Amazon for £22.98 (including postage). Reviewer A Butterfield is spot on in all of his/her comments about this card. I cannot understand why some of the other reviewers mark this card down because they feel ill done to by a trader or because the supplied cd disc is too small, those facts do not detract from the card itself. The Sandisk Extreme III SD 4GB card is definitely a 5 star card.
