Filmmaker here with TONS of media
(5 out of 5) by Ali Hasan on Mar 18, 2007 (Eagle County, Colorado)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 Treo, Mac laptop, and digital camera --- the card can literally be swapped between all three devices, transfering files from one to the other
However, the USB slot is a very welcome feature! The card is a bit fragile, but as long as you're gentle, the card's USB slot fits excellently into all USB ports and gives very quick access and transfer speeds --- this has made file swapping between my Treo, Mac, and other PC's a complete breeze!!!
The best part is that the card plays nice between PC and Mac, and can still go in and out of Treos and Digital Cameras
And lastly, the card is very durable --- again, you have to be gentle when placing the USB stick into a slot, but the card folds up and is as solid as any regular SanDisk card --- although I don't use it, SanDisk also provides a very useful key chain, which is a tiny case that will keep your card protected, while dangling off of your keys (if you like)
I highly recommend it!
Peace and love to you all!

Fast 2GB SD Card with Built-in USB Connectivity
(5 out of 5) by Keith E. Webb on Mar 16, 2007 (Singapore)Wow! I needed an SD card for my new digital camera. Speed of the disk is an issue these days. When you take a photo the disk has to store it then get ready for the next photo. Regular SD cards take some time to do that. So, if you are shooting rapidly, or doing video, you can quickly hit the limits of your regular SD cards speed. The Ultra II is in the next speed class up. It's plenty fast for all but the most extreme user. It's not as fast as the Extreme III, but that costs half again as much.
So, I was already sure the Ultra II 2GB was what I needed for size and speed. Then I saw it... this version where the case of the SD card folds in half revealing a USB Hub Port. Which means you can plug your tiny 2GB SD card straight into your laptop or computer through the USB port. No need for a card reader.
This card works in Treos, digital cameras, and anything else that takes a type I SD card.
It's big (memory), fast (memory access), and innovative (USB build in). For me it was worth a few extra dollars more than the regular Ultra II.

Excellent USB Key and SD Card
(5 out of 5) by Computer Geek on Feb 22, 2007 (Northern Virginia, USA)I previously owned the 1GB version of this card and was very pleased with that. This is a great improvement as it doubles the space! I've had no problems with it used as a USB key or SD card.
The ONLY issue I have had with these cards is they DO NOT work in the Nintendo Wii. They WILL get stuck inside the Wii slot and with-out carefull pliers work you won't get it out. The card electrically works in the Wii you just can't get it back out. Same with the 1GB version. This is more a design problem with the Wii (which I still love) than with the SanDisk card. So get the card, just don't stick it in your Wii.

Simplistically Versatile... but a little flimsy
(4 out of 5) by John Iannarelli on Jul 27, 2007 (Royersford, PA USA)I love this little thing! So much so that I bought 3 of them! One of the best ideas ever! It is super easy to switch between SD and USB with a simple folding operation.
There are 3 reasons why I don't give it 5 stars:
1) It has a flimsy feel to it... so you have to fold gently when switching between SD and USB modes.
2) When in USB mode, it is too easy to accidentally shove it in a USB port upside down.
3) Included key ring case opens too easily (card can drop out easily)
Even with the slight downfalls, it has been very reliable and extremely versatile, and I have been very happy with this device. I have not had any problems with it being recognized by any of my devices... and I often switch this card between my work laptop (Windows XP) and my home computer (Windows Vista) (each has an SD slot) and my friends' computers that usually only have USB. I also switch it between my Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS, Kodak v610 EasyShare camera, my Minolta Z-2 camera, my Sea-Life underwater camera, and my RCA Lyca MP3 player with ease.
NOTE: The 2 GB size holds plenty of pics, videos and/or MP3s and is the max size recognized by non-HDSD devices.

Feels like it gets stuck coming out
(4 out of 5) by isdereks on Jan 8, 2007 (Seattle, WA United States)Convenient little SD cards. Never again having to worry about carrying a card reader or USB cable. I just had to pick-up one of these after purchasing the 512MB version for a friend to use with a Nikon S7C. No noticeable write speed slow down (compared to a Lexar 133x) when used with a Nikon D80. There is one little nagging bit that some may find too annoying to continue using. Despite the car being completely snapped into place, the edges of the fold must be getting caught somewhere inside the D80 SD slot. Rather than popping straight out, it gets caught and you have to wiggle it ever so softly in order to get it to come out smoothly.
