Summary: Not compatible with laptops
Review: This device is pure garbage if you use Windows 2000. Unstable, flaky, and unreliable... this is one of the worst devices I've ever bought. I even updated to the latest drivers, to no avail.

The problems weren't limited to my machine, as my friend bought the same device and experienced the same problems.

Please, do yourself a favor and avoid it.

Summary: Does NOT WORK with laptops/Win2000
Review: This product does not work with Laptops (Dell) running Windows 2000. I bought this thing a week ago and it did not work as advertised. I have now wasted 1 week (6 > 30 min) of sessions with their technical support staff and they have not been able to help. Though they still fail to accept that it does not work with laptops (they keep blaming Dell, but all other USB devices work through the same port!). It does work as advertised on my desktop, but not for laptops.

Their technical support is really bad. You are better off buying another vendor's product.

Summary: Works great
Review: This product works fine under Windows 2000. As long as you download the most recent drivers from the website. Why not? Can beat this little guy.

Summary: Had to update the software

Summary: SmartMedia Card Reader
Review: This unit works great. I have never had any problems with it. Now, I would not be without it. The transfer rate is fast, as advertised, and this device is easy to use. I love it.

Summary: Not a happy customer
Review: Tried the SanDisk reader on a new HP and the computer would not find it. Next tried in on a brand new Gateway 750 MHz, Windows '98. This computer does not like it. The reader constantly locks up the entire computer. Found the serial cable to be much more reliable than this horrible piece of equipment.

Summary: For those with freezes and BSOD
Review: Well according to the latest FAQ on SanDisk's website about this product there's a problem with Easy CD Creator 3.5, 4.0 and 4.1: Here's what the website says:

You probably have Adaptec®, Easy CD Creator™ version 3.5, 4.0 or 4.1 installed on your system. This software probably came with your Iomega®, HP®, or other branded CD RW drive. The Easy CD Creator program uses certain APIX.vxd functions that are also incorporated into Windows 98. This alone is not a problem. However, when CD Creator is installed, it renames Microsoft's APIX files. When these files are renamed, compatibility issues arise between CD Creator and other peripherals (such as ImageMate) that use the APIX functions.

There's a batch file to fix the problem if you have this program. Get it here: http://www.sandisk.com/tech/im_faq.asp

Let us know here if this fixes your crashing problems with Sandisk.
