It is not a flash drive, but with the card in the adapter plugged into a laptop, can't it be used to read and write to like a flash drive?

The Lexar micro card reader, when used in conjuntion with a microSDHC card, functions just like a normal USB flash drive.

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

It is just a card reader, works via a USB port. OS doesn't matter. If your notebook has a USB port 2.0 or higher, this device should allow files to be moved from one of its listed types of media cards to the notebook. Or vice versa, though the first is a more common use.

You would need an adapter to go from an SD card to USB, but theoretically, yes.

It has a built in SD card reader, so you would need a SD micro to SD card adapter or a USB card reader

No and no, it works as if you had an USB Flashdrive plugged in your computer

If you are going to use a different USB adapter / card reader, it must be SDHC compatible or it will not recognize the card. I have an older adapter that is not SDHC compliant and it will only read up to a 2GB card.

Yes, it is a standard SD card. You should have no problem using it as a flash drive, as long as you have an SD card reader that connects via USB or is built into your computer.

It's not a flash drive, it's a SD to USB 2 adapter. You can put a Secure Digital (SD) card or a miniSD card into it, plug it into your computer USB port and read or write the card. I've had mine for a couple of years and it's worked quite well. It seems faster than the really cheap one I used to use. It's a bit bigger than some but that's because it has the two ports; one for regular size SD cards and on for the miniSD cards. It also has a pull-out shield to protect the SD card once you've plugged it in so it doesn't get bumped while you're using it.

Yes, this is a PCI expansion card meant to connect to a PCI connector, usually on a Desktop PC's motherboard. This won't work on a laptop.

I have the USB power cord, and don't regret it for a minute. The alternative for me would be taking the memory card out and plugging it into my computer. It's not that easy to access.

This is an adapter from SD to USB. It does not have any internal storage inside the adapter itself.

I don't know; I've only use it with Windows. No driver was needed; just plugged it in and was recognized as an external drive and read the card.

This plugs into a "PC Card" slot, or "PCMCIA" card slot, the same thing...these are on laptops only as far as I know. It converts the PC card slot into a 2 USB ports, but also requires a special very thin USB cable and converter to connect...not the standard USB connector.

I've never used this adapter for anything other than a flash drive but going along with the answer below. Pose this same question on your home page and you'll see quite a few pros and cons.

For something like a camera's memory card, no, not that I see. But couldn't you do that by connecting the camera to the computer via USB and transferring pics from camera to computer? Or if you wanted to go the other way, put a memory stick into the laptop to store pics on the memory stick (cruzer/flashdrive).**I stand corrected now that I see the answer given 2 below. Thank you for pointing this out, I totally missed it James. I apologize Dina, for any confusion created by my initial response.
