Sandisk MicroMate Reader - for SD and SDHC memory cards Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Convenient little sucker
Comment: I don't like uploading my pictures directly through a camera and this memory reader is so convenient. It is small and sleek. I like that it is white; looks really nice.

Summary: Does It's Job but...
Comment: The reader works as designed. However, the reader doesn't fit into some front panel USB ports without a USB extender because it's so wide. It fits on my Dell PC but not my Toshiba laptop when it's on my desk. I'd have to lift up my laptop to push it in and it would be supporting the laptop on a tilt. Not a good idea.

The other problem I ran into with the SDHC read/write is that it reads really slow. When transferring photos from my SDHC card to my PC it takes much longer than doing so with a standard SD card. I compared this by transferring the same files from both the SDHC and SD card.

Customer Rating:
Summary: SLOW write speed
Comment: Using the Micro Mate in a USB 2.0 port, it took One Hour and 56 minutes to write 3.13 GB.

This was on a computer running at 3.2 Gig Hz.

By contrast, using the built-in card reader, it took 27 minutes to write the same file to the same SDHC card.

USB 2.0 can't be blamed because I wrote the same 3.13 GB to a portable 2.5" hard drive (generic) using the same USB 2.0 port in just under 8 minutes.

Micro mate is slow.
