The SVP PS9890 converts Negative Film/ Slides / Photos or Namecards into digital format into its internal memory. However I inserted a 16 GB SD card into the rear slot for storing large amounts of scanned items. This unit is very good for the cost, has 4,000 DPI max scan and resolutions of 10M, 14M or 22MB. It has a mini usb to USB cord for connecting to a P.C. or a TV with the supplied cable. The user manual is very helpful. Scans photos 5x7 , 4x6 , or 3 1/2x5 . I've scanned many old negatives and slides with great success on this unit.

I have windows and it works great, saved a lot of my old picture files with this wonderful gadget.

I had no real stable luck with it on windows 7. After fiddling around with compatability modes and drivers, it worked briefly. But blue screens and choppy video was frequent. I found it better just to use it on a winXP machine just for that purpose. It's a good device otherwise, as long as its on winXP.

This is a great device. It works with all SD and SDHC and MicroSD cards. It is a 'no-brainer'. You can access both an SD and a microSD card at the same time, even copy from on to the other as your computer sees each card as a separate storage device. It works with USB 2.0 and 3.0 connectivity.

I talked to avermedia and the SD card has to be formatted as a FAT32 specifically. I did not see that option in Win 7 (my OS). I downloaded AOMEI Partition Assistant and reformatted the card to be FAT32 and it works now for me.

No, it takes only an SD card. If you are asking if it works well with all SD cards, then I would say I haven't experienced any problems with different capacity SD cards.

I have windows 7 and it work well for me. I just plugged it in and put in my disk and it was ready.

I am using it with Windows 8 and have no problems at all. Specs say compact flash and various types of SD cards - no mention of Memory Stick.

I'm thinking of buying this scanner. I am an oral historian and need a portable scanner to take with me on my interviews. I will be scanning photos, news clippings, all kinds of things. Question: does it really work with Windows 7 64 bit. I have an HP laptop I'm planning to use it with. Current feedback would be great. Thanks!

I have not had luck using Win 8. Win7 works. Win 8 usually corrupts the SD card causing its own mess.

Paul, What's an SD card? How big? I've looked at it, and it doesn't look like it has a card slot, except for maybe one place that might take a card, about 1/4" wide.

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

This device takes a microSD from the outside (no need to open to insert), so you can load up ebooks, mp3's, and such forth from your PC on a microSD and access. It worked fine for me.

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 might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.
