The SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader is such an outstanding product. I originally used a different card reader that came with my camera. It took so long to download pictures. Not only is this card reader easy to use, but it is so fast to download pictures from many different cards. Also, to install the program was extremely easy and quick. I was able to use it in less than 5 minutes after installation. It is also pretty self explanatory--i didn't really need to read the directions before hand.What I usually do is I take several pictures at once, then connect the card reader to my laptop. In less than 2 minutes, I can have all of the pictures downloaded. I love the feature that asks if I want to erase all of the contents on the card while I transfer the picture files. Makes it so easy. It is also so portable and feels sturdy. I just love it. Sorry, but i cannot tell you any negative thing about it, there is nothing negative about it.

One of the few unambiguously sub-par products I've encountered here at B&H. The software disc included with the reader trashed my laptop's operating system when I attempted to install the 'Button' application and the card reader played hide and seek when I attempted to use it manually, on ANY computer.

Comments about SanDisk 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer:
This is my second 12-in-1 reader - one for studio, one for travel. A very reliable piece of gear. I "don't leave home without it." Well built. No serious issues. My only problem is the CF card is a bit tricky to insert - difficult to get it correctly aligned. It could be that the curved designed throws my eye-hand-coordination off. A small annoyance that I've gotten used to and live with because the unit is so reliable. Likewise, the docking connection is slightly tricky.

Comments about SanDisk 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer:
I purchased this for my second computer after a couple of years with my first one. They are very versatile and reliable, and they take up only a small amount of space thanks to an included stand that allows the unit to stand upright. I use it for directly uploading my images from my CF, SD, and Memory Stick cards. Much safer than uploading directly from the camera via a cable -- I actually fried a camera doing that (fortunately it was just a small point & shoot!). A must-have for convenience and for protecting your equipment! My only complaint is that I couldn't get the on-touch button/software to work on eith of my computers, but it's really no problem at all, as my other software recognizes this device as another drive on the system. The cable is only a few inches long, so you'll probably need a standard USB extension cable.

I put in my card and voila the photos were there.

Comments about SanDisk 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer:
I just started using this product and I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it. Overall, it's as advertised. It's much faster than transferring from a camera and definitely saves on the life of the camera as well. On the downside, if you're on a Mac, the little magic button doesn't work - but that's ok with me - it would just fine otherwise.

Comments about SanDisk 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer:
I purchased this card reader after finding my original one of a different brand would not recognize my wife's SD cards.
The Sandisk unit installed and opened both the SD cards and my CF cards with no drama.
The added advantage is it can remain on its stand on the computer desk and be ready at all times to download images

Comments about SanDisk 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer:
I replaced my Sandisk 6-in-1 card reader with this 12-in-1 because the former does not work with cards greater than 2 gigabytes. The 12-in-1 reads from and writes to 4 gig cards without any problem. It is fairly speedy, though not the fastest on the market. Compatibility is great. Works with every memory stick, compact flash, and SD card I've thrown at it.

I've wanted a card reader for a while to move images from my flash cards to my computer. This one was nice it is a little faster than doing it through the cord. I have a couple different cameras so there is space for my different types of cards.
