Summary: Simply Fails To Do The Job
Review: Ordered this based on recommendation by someone in the Iriver Forum for transferring pictures from a digital camera to a portable hard drive mp3 device. I own the Nikon 4500 and an Iriver H340 and when I travel I want to download pictures from the SD card in the camera to the hard drive, then reuse the SD picture storage card - as opposed to carrying a bunch of the storage cards. In Oct. 2004 I confidently and foolishly purchased from Amazon this Syncbox. The Forum had stated the device as made by Macally and before purchase I phoned Macally in California and made inquiries. The company was in process of upgrading the device to one with a readable screen and had a picture of the future device on their webside (macally dot com). I informed the tech staff person about my needs and equipment and was given the go ahead. Bought this device here, got it, read the manual, connected the Syncbox between the camera and hard drive as directed, and lo! the Syncbox just did not function as expected. My camera contained numerous photos and the Syncbox just did not transfer the pictures. I finally got it to transfer folders from the camera to my HDD, however only the folder names transferred. Meaning the folders had nothing in them! leaving the pics on the other side. What a waste of my time, cash and efforts. I promptly printed AMAZON's RETURN LABEL - and lo! again - Amazon send email of receipt of the device and CHARGED ME $13 (yes thirteen dollars) in postage. At the Post Office I could have returned the device for less than three dollars. Talk about double jeopardy. Burned twice. Oh well. I can take my own advice in the future. Beware items without excellent reviews and beware Amazon's return labels. Happy holidays!

Summary: Is this the same as the MACally Syncbox?
