Product Description
The ImageMate 12 in 1 Card Reader/Writer is a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Multi-card Reader/Writer that connects to your computer's USB 2.0 port. USB 2.0 provides superior performance to transfer pictures, music, video and data between flash memory cards and your computer. Because USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 1.1 ports, the ImageMate 12 in 1 Card Reader/Writer will work with all existing USB ports. The ImageMate 12 in 1 provides the ability to write data to and read data from flash memory without connecting your digital device (digital camera, handheld computer, digital music player, etc.) directly to a computer.

 Digital Memory Card Reader September 6, 2008

Excelent product. Great quality and durability. I recomend this card reader over all others I have purchased.
San Disk , I think it's a MUST HAVE August 24, 2008

I thought I had "reviewed" this already.
Maybe the review did not get thru.
I like it a lot, have 2 different Kodak CAmera's with different size "memory disk's on it. I find it's very helpful and I great item to have.
 Not As Advertised August 22, 2008

I purchased this item to download pictures from our camera using an xD PictureCard which the advertisement cleary states is supported. You could not insert this card into the slot if your life depended on it. The slot is way too small.What gives??? It is going back.
Totally flaky. Wouldn't buy again... August 15, 2008

I have an older version of this card reader so take that into account when you read this review but they look pretty much the same. I bought the SanDisk card reader a couple years ago to use with my compact flash cards from my digital camera. The product worked fine at first. You plug it in through a USB port and four removable drives pop up in your drive listing. You don't need to install any drivers which is really nice so it's very "plug and play" and you can easily swap the device between computers with no effort.
All was fine at first but after a few months of use the reader started getting very finicky about how the card was inserted. I had to put it in "just right." If I pushed it in too far it wouldn't register so I had to put it in "just enough" but not too much. This would cause me to have to spend some time getting it to sit just right every time I used it. Annoying but it was workable.
Then some new problems started happening. When the device would be initially plugged in sometimes the computer wouldn't pick it up so now I had to plug the device in and out of the computer in addition to doing the same with the card in the reader. Then sometimes as you're using it the drives would just disappear. Now just recently it's started being super funky with the cards that are inserted saying sometimes they're corrupted or they're not formated while the cards still work in my camera just fine. It's pretty much unusable at this point.
So I might have just gotten a bad unit with some faulty wiring or poor construction since this card reader seems to have a pretty good review here from other people. However I personally tend to be wary about other similar products of the same brand when I get a poorly constructed unit so I'm going to trash this and try out the Sony 17-in-1 Memory Card Reader ( MRW62E/S1/181 ) and see how that works.
Even if there weren't the connection problems, there are still some issues with the device in terms of its form factor that would discourage me from trying out future iterations of the device. The vertical orientation of the device makes it really wobbly and it tips over easily which is annoying. I've used other card readers at work with the horizontal orientation and while I guess they take up a little more desk space, at least they're not constantly tipping over. Also the CF cards didn't slide in very smoothly. Overall the product just feels really clumsy and cheap.
After I've tried the Sony reader out I'll try to remember to add a review for it to serve as a counter point.

Works great and priced right. Recently bought an 8GB SDHC that didn't work for the purpose I bought it. I was able to use this card reader and the SD card on my older PC as extra memory. The reader is fast.
