If You Have A Mac
I mostly bought the SanDisk MicroMate to use on the road with other people's computers. When I did use it with my Mac at home, it locked up my entire system and forced manual reboot. Didn't matter what type of card, how many gigs, etc. I read online that a lot of other Mac users are experiencing the same problem. I called SanDisk and here's what I found out ...
According to SanDisk, Mac users must insert the card into the reader BEFORE inserting the reader into the computer. That makes sense now that I think about it ... I was inserting the reader first into the computer, then inserting the card.
So, this is a fine product! Don't let internet reviews detailing mac crashing problems scare you away from buying. Try putting card into reader, then into computer, and you should be fine. Worked for me!
