As with a previous seller I haven't tested this product as a USB reader/writer, but as it's main function it is very good for viewing photos on TV. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is that it is a little slow to load full resolution images, however if you compress the images to 640x480 resolution (Very easy to convert a whole batch of files using irfanview freeware), it works excellently. Might be faster with full resolution images if a fast flash card such as Sandisk ultra or extreme is used??

What an excellent little device. Connects easily to the computer music can be dragged & dropped, so no problem loading the device. Will take an 8gb micro SD card, but takes about five minutes to refresh with a card that size. Radio works well. Haven't tried it with video as I think the screen is too small for that although very bright and possibly not a problem if your eyesight is better than mine. I only bought it for music and am well pleased with the product.

Although this flash drive is very nicely made Mac users should be aware that it is not fully compatible with the Mac OS. The drive launches a U3 system icon, the software of which is designed to allow transportation of applications as well as data, and this is non-functional on Macs. The flash drive storage partition itself works normally but you are faced with a CD-Rom icon on your desktop every time you insert the stick. SanDisk has just made available a U3 system removal tool for OS X 10.5 Leopard. This seems to work fine although you need to download Cruzer utilities from SanDisk. All-in-all this is a very classy drive. Just be aware of the additional steps necessary if you are a Mac user and wish to remove the U3 system.

This series of flash drives is really very slim - 4 mm without the protective skin, 6 with it. Solid, reliable performance; good value for money; a lot of memory in a tiny package.
And cheap - so cheap that the postage is more expensive than the product, which I find rather weird. And if you buy more than one, the postage remains the same - that is, they don't give you a discount. Therefore four stars rather than five. But still a cheap and cheerful piece of kit!

I don't see many of these and yet it is such a good idea. No need for a card reader at all, just fold it in half and plug it in to the USB port. It even has a little green light when it is in use. Superb! This is the second one I have bought.

I used this card with a Canon Powershot Pro 1
Its quite reliable and hasn't failed me yet. It is rather slow compared to its description however. I would spend a little extra and buy a faster card, it makes a lot of difference!
