Sandisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter ( SDAD-67-A10 )

 ADEQUATE - BUT ROUGH ON THE EDGES
This adapter works, BUT... using it for Memory Stick Pro media, the insertion of the Mem Stick into the adapter is not guided very well and can go in crooked and not seat. The adapter card itself, hangs up upon trying to eject it from the PCMCIA slot. It catches on something and I can't see what, there are no nicks or friction marks on any of the edges anywhere on the card.

 An Excellent Product!

At first I thought that this adapter wasn't being recognized by my 3 year old Compaq 2700T laptop when I first inserted it, and then I discovered that it becomes recongized when you insert any one of the 6 media card types into it. When I put a Secure Digital card into it the adapter and the card's 'contents' were immediately recognized. All pictures on the card were successfully downloaded to the hard drive.

I have not tried any of the other media card types yet, but I have no reason to believe that they shouldn't behave just as well as the Secure Digital card.

This was a GREAT choice I made! This gives me one more option for making sure that I am able to download and store my digital pictures. Buy it if you have a notebook PC and need an 'extra' option for downloading 'your' digital pics. Also, I would not get it unless you have 2 or more varieties of media cards.

Be aware that this card adapter does not allow for downloading the Compact Flash variety of media card; for that, there is another adapter product by SanDisk for the Compact Flash variety.

I hope I have helped somebody with this review.

 Another great device from Sandisk
I've been using this device to transfer files to my laptop from my digital camera. It has been working flawlessly. I thought about getting a usb hub device to read memory cards, but I settled on this because of the small form factor. It fits in my laptop carrying case very well. Another excellent device from Sandisk.

 Doesn't work with 2GB SD cards
If you need to access 2GB SD cards, get a different adapter.

 I feel a little unhappy
Because it's complicated take of the memory stick when te card is inside in the laptop

 It works for some but not others.
I bought this product at the same time as my xD 1 gig (type M). Well, when I just got off the phone with Sandisk, this model will never work with Type M xD and there are no plans to patch the PC Card adpater.
Why didn't they just put in the disclaimer "Does Not Work With Type M xD Memory"????
It was a lot of work trying to find the right adaptor, a lot of time wasted...

 No compatible with cards over 512mb
I owned one of these for compact flash worked great.

Bought this one for my new digital camera and found out that it doesn't support anything above 512mb. Too bad it wasn't listed on the item at amazon.com.

Tech support from Sandisk is the one who informed me of the limitation after struggling to get the PC Card to work correctly.

Probably works great for anything 512mb and under.

 Note: Choose other SanDisk product for Compact Flash
A visit to SanDisk's web site confirms that the 6-in-1 PC Card adapter is for SD/MMC/SmartMedia/Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro/xD. It will not work with Compact Flash as mentioned in the short description. SanDisk has two other products available on Amazon for use with Compact Flash cards.

 POWERBOOK USERS: AVOID!
I bought this 6-in-1 because it was the cheapest PCMCIA reader I could find that could read SD cards. Turns out it is a total loss in my PowerBook G4 "Aluminum" because it is near impossible to eject. There are tiny metal tabs (somewhat loose, I might add) that catch on the side of the PowerBook's PCMCIA slot. It is worth noting that the card fits and ejects just fine in my roomate's Dell, so it may be a situation where this works fine in most computers, but not those built exactly to spec (or those without a little wiggle room).

That said, I also gave the card a poor rating because it is hard to insert memory into the 6-in-1 slot. SD cards go in kinda crooked and you have to use too much force to line them up with the reader. Overall, I don't recommend this product.

 Sandisk SD card reader
Bought this for my wife's laptop so she can read SD cards directly without using the USB cable to her camera. It is simple to install, slips into the PCMCIA slot, and with the SD card inserted it sits flush with the side of the laptop. The only drawback is you can't extract the SD card without removing the reader. (Maybe the fingers of a 5-year old could do it?) Nice quality product.
