With a memory card inserted, will this work just like a USB drive? ie FAT32 I am trying to display photos from mem cards on devices that are USB compatible.

It sure does. That is exactly why I bought it (a new computer did not have a slot for the SD card). It has worked fine for me.

Yes, the memory sticks function as a USB drive when inserted into the card reader.

That is correct, you will need to use an USB adapter to play an SD/microSD card. I personally use an external USB 1T hard drive (USB 2.0) for maximum storage. I know there is up to 64GB SD Cards but I normally use 8 to 16 GB, I haven´t use SD cards on Micca....just 2GB to 8GB USB jumpers and the external 1T storage and it worked great.

Most USB devices are formatted FAT32 which only allows 2^32-1 bytes of data (4GB roughly speaking).To overcome this you'd have to format it in a file system that allows larger than 4GB files (like NTFS) or put the file into a spanning compressed file.

It works great for USB based HDDs and flash drives. I haven't used any SD card readers, but I just verified that a cheap Sandisk microUSB reader worked.

Yes! this unit is fully functional to read and write to memory. I have used it with up to 64G micro SD card and works perfectly.

I should think so. As it is really only a adapter device. It enables you to turn any SD card into a thumb drive. It is a pass through device. It enables you to take any memory card that it excepts and use it as a USB drive. If you wish to use a MicorSD card with this, you will need an SD adapter. When I buy a MicroSD card, I usually buy the combo pack which includes the SD adapter. I am using a 32 Gig Micro card with this reader and it works fine. Love this thing. Makes a great Christmas gift to the family...

Actually it depends on which filesystem you use. The USB stick came formatted in the FAT32 file system which, from what I can tell from online searching, is limited to individual files of 4 GB in size. If you format it to NTFS is should be able to hold much larger files, but not all devices may be able to read the stick.

A micro sd card can be left in the unit. When plugged into your computer, internal memory will show as a drive and the card as another drive. This assumes you've set USB mode to MSC (mass storage) under settings&gt;system settings&gt;USB mode.

is it possible to get an adapter for memorycards for the micro SD slot and upload pictures?how many usb ports are there? could one attach a other things to that, including a DVD burner?

I put my Windows 7 ISO on it and installed a new computer this weekend from it, works perfectly. The microSD has to be formatted as FAT32. So if its larger then 32Gb you have to use a fat32 formatter tool. FAT32 does not allow files larger then 4gb, so you have to use the tool from their website to upload the ISO to it if the are larger then that, because it splits it up for you.

I believe one can format flash drives for FAT and this shouldn't be any different. Do a Google search and you'll find many examples.

I installed it inside an Apple laptop. Lasted almost a year and crashed... Was not a problem to format it to an Apple system.FAT32 should be fine, it might already be there...

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.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

I put the card in my computer's card reader and upload the pics that way. I don't know about the memory stick, but it should work, you can upload through the USB port directly from the camera.

You can use a cheap microSD card with the isostick - I use a 16GB one, myself :)

Yes, this is a USB device. Works well with both my Win 8 and iMac computers. I've used it to read SD (standard) and Micro SD cards in a SD adapter.
