Review on the specs

Why does the top part saying this comp has 2gb RAM max, while the Specs below saying 4gb RAM max? Which one is correct?

Does the job.

 

Does the job.

This neat little product does just as advertised. Take it right out of your SD slot and plug into a USB port. If you are a very frequent user, I'd caution that this card is not extremely robust feeling. If I was pulling it in and out of a camera on a...

Great Card, Great Features and Great Price

I can't say enough about this item. I have been using it for a little while now, and in my Canon SD600, I couldn't ask for a better card. It saves my pictures quickly. The best feature is obviously the USB connection. It is so great to not have to look...

Beware! Works great ... for a while!

I bought this SanDisk Ultra II Plus 1GB SD card in December 2006 and it worked great for about 5 months. I used it in my HP camera and digital photo frame, and transferred files onto my computer using both the USB port and a card reader. Then suddenly...

Very cool!

For those that get frustrated with trying to transfer digital photos from their camera to the computer this is perfect. I put this in my digital camera and when done taking shots I can plug it into any computer via the USB connection. Does not matter...

Excellent Geek Product

I carry my 1GB card around in my PDA and it is wonderful being able to pop the card out, put someone on it either from a SD card reader or from a USB port, then pop it back into my PDA to bring home. Ultimate geek tool. If I were to fault it for...

Great device, but don't use it in your Playstation 3!

Blah blah. You've read other people's reviews. I mean jeez, it's a memory stick that turns into a USB drive. Very cool. Nothing else needs to be said, EXCEPT do NOT use this in your PS3's USB port (SD slot on 60GB models is fine). The problem is the...

Perfect!

 

Perfect!

I have a new Macbook Pro and it does not have a media card reader. This is a perfect choice for those instances! Plus at these prices is totally worth stocking up on!

Filmmaker here with TONS of media

I'm a filmmaker, and I'm often transferring digital files (music, pics, mpeg footage) between Macs and PC's, in addition to sometimes watching things on my Treo I purchased a SanDisk Plus USB card last summer and I'm in love with this sucker! I have a...
