Fast delivery, the product was as it was supposed to be........2007-12-03
The product was delivered before the estimated arrival date. It was in good shape and I was able to install it without any problems. It's been more than a month and it works fine.
As advertised.......2007-08-31
Just a tip: check how many memory slots you have, and determine what memory you already have. I thought I was doubling my 512mb. Rather I had two slots with two 256mb sets. So I could only replace one and now I have 768mb instead of the 1024mb I was hoping for.
Improving My slow computer.......2007-07-31
I got the memory within a week which was good since my old computer now showed its age, but upon installing the Simple tech memory it has revived my old computer. The computer now performs like a computer should, i dont have to wait while programs open, I think I am going to buy another strip, I was very impressed.

I looked on line for additional memory to speed up my machine since Norton Internet Security 2005 ate most of the memory that was left and made it's operation VERY slow. The memory was about $2 more than the cheepest I had found on the internet. Since I already had an account with Amazon, it made it easy to order. One I got it, I plugged it in, turned the computer on and it worked GREAT! Amazing what an extra 1/2 of Gig of memory will do to speed up your machine. Memory worked fine! Make sure you check with your computer's motherboard manufacturer for comptable memory before ordering any memory.

Customer Reviews:
great backup.......2005-05-06
I brought this module years ago to backup my visor, especially since I did not own a computer at the time. It was a lifesaver, allowing me to restore everything upon replacing batteries. There were a few times I misplaced the visor in the house and (of course two months or so later) once I found it the batteries were completely dead. The backup module restored everything perfectly.
exactly what I wanted.......2002-09-21
Hotsyncing with the Visor can be a pain: it takes a long time and it's sometimes dificult to get the Visor to sit it's in cradle. When you want to put files from your Visor onto the computer, there's no alternative, but if you're just backing up files, this module is excellent. You press one button, wait a minute, and everything is backed up. This is especially important because I've found that replacing batteries in the Visor sometimes deletes the data. Restoring from the backup module is then a one step process. Retoring from hotsync would first entail reinstalling all of the software and then hotsyncing the data. It's a little pricey and is something of a luxury, but it makes life much easier, especially if you're on the go.
Wonderful product!.......2002-08-09
I hot sync with a backup buddy already. However, I travel quite a bit, and this neat little module is just the best. It is very easy to use. . . simply put in the slot and tap an icon. . . and then you have a backup with you at all times, even when you can't get to your desktop.
simple!!!!!.......2002-06-06
Everything should be this easy.You put the module in the slot and tap the backup icon,And,it does it amazing!!!!!!I love this product.
Takes a beating and keeps on Protecting.......2002-03-06
I bought this item while on a trip to New York. While I was there, all my info on my visor went corrupt. At that point, I went out and bought this little item. So far, its been great. The reason I gave it a 5 is for its durability. I had, like I usually do with many things, left the module in my pocket overnight in the pants I had on the floor. However, my parents had decided to take those pants and wash them. Once through the washing machine and a run through the dryer. It got out and I was sure it was dead, but nevertheless curious. So, I put it in the visor, and much to my surprise, IT WORKED! Whereas I wouldnt try this at home, its amazing how tough these modules are. Handspring makes the best!

Customer Reviews:
HIGHLY recommended for those who value their handheld data.......2004-02-14
Good points:
-1 touch backup -- everything's automated. You just hit `backup' to backup your ENTIRE handheld, or `restore' to restore your ENTIRE handheld and it's done. No worrying about compatibility conflicts. You may have apps that may not be compatible with your Visor, but it wouldn't affect the function of the backup module
-It's thorough -- EVERYTHING gets backed up, including but not limited to all PIM data (can't speak for outlook users, as I don't use it, but my guess is that that's also covered), various settings in the "pref" icon, applications, as well as all its data. Examples include your ToDo entries, entries you've made in Bankbook3 (banking software), and even your saved game sessions and high scores from games like Space Trader and SubHunt (for the games part, hotsyncing only restores the actual game only. You'll need to start all over from scratch).
-Works right out of the box -- no extra drivers or updates are required. It's true plug and play just like the vast majority of Springboard modules
-Has limited but nice user error checks -- the only ones I know of are:
>being able to recognize that it (the module) is working with a different handheld/user, so you won't accidentally wipe out your (or someone else's) data on the Visor or backup module.
>being able to recognize that your request to backup stuff is much smaller (like files are missing) than what's already backed up. Good example to illustrate this would be when I deleted whole categories of bank records I didn't need anymore. Before the backup started, it ran a warning that I'll be losing a lot of info on the module if I went through. Deleting all the info was purposely done, but it's still nice to see such checks take place to safeguard your data.
-Fast restores -- Despite the slow backup process (described below), restoring takes considerably less time.
-I've had mine for over 3.5 years, since I had my Visor, and switched to my Visor Neo over 1.5 years ago. I haven't done a lot of restores, but it has been just as reliable, if not more as Palm Desktop and my handhelds.
Bad points:
-Backups are relatively slow -- I have about 5.9MB of used memory on my handheld, and each backup session takes almost 4 minutes. This figure is better on the Original Visor or other Visors with less used memory, but it's still going to be pretty slow compared to hotsyncing. Some of you may replace hotsyncing with backup modules for various reasons, but I'll bet that you won't be backing up on the module that liberally. This takes much more patience, not to mention more battery power.
-All or nothing -- Mentioned in another review as well. Restoring/backing up the whole handheld is generally the ideal thing you want, but suppose you accidentally delete an app, or it'd be easier to just restore an old version of some set of records rather than manually undoing everything. You'll get those modifications you done to be undone, but so will everything else you've done since that time, like new appointments you set up or new phone numbers you recorded since then.
-Kinda bulky -- In the age of high capacity SD/MMC cards and DVD +/- R/RWs, one would scoff to see only 8MBs in such a plastic cartridge. There aren't many other backup modules for Handspring though, and the smaller SD cards mean u just lose them easier.
WHO SHOULD BUY THIS?
-People on the road, going through extended periods of time without having access to a laptop or desktop to synchronize their info
-People who have, foresee, or are worried of their desktop AND handheld crashing. (For me, it was using Win98 SE, loading a bunch of 3rd party games and apps, and having to reset both of them often)
-People who find forty to sixty-five dollars a small price to pay for losing extremely critical data
-People who REALLY want to keep their high scores (expansion flash memory cards are another alternative)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
-Unless you're handheld is constantly bugging out (in which case you should consider getting a new unit that's more stable), than it'd be wise to keep that and the module apart for as much as possible. Specifically, if you're out on the road and keep the module plugged in, you'll be defeating the purpose of utilizing a backup module if your handheld (and the backup that's plugged into it) gets stolen, lost, or falls into a wishing fountain and shorts out everything. Technically you >could
< restore from you're desktop, but the whole idea of having a backup is so that we wouldn't have to place all our trust in our desktop AND handheld right?
-If you feel you have a solid, stable PC and/or handheld, then you could easily get away with making backups every 2 weeks or once a week. If you just added a lot of important data to your handheld, then backup right away. Otherwise don't bother. The slow backup process will seem much less painful if you cut down on the number of backups you need to perform.
-Obviously, apps and files only on plugged in expansion cards aren't backed up, but those files on expansion cards would be backed up already in the case that you lose handheld and desktop information.
-In case it's not mentioned, this product has 8MB of memory, so it'll work for every type of Visor handheld except for the Visor Pro. For original Visor users, you don't get to save 2 - 4 profiles on there. Only one just like the rest of us.
nice tool.......2003-04-10
very helpful. When you're on the road and have to hard reset (happened to me), this is a life saver.
You must buy this!.......2002-03-25
Complete back-up of your Visor for Forty-bucks? All you do is push one button, and your entire Visor Deluxe is backed-up? You gotta' be kidding me. Buy this pronto dude! Mine has worked perfectly for 2 years.
. . . Buy this now!.......2002-01-31
This is the one and only Springboard Module I have bought for my Visor. I love my Visor, but I don't feel the need to play mp3s with it. But, this module is great. Irony of ironies, while I was waiting for this to arrive from amazon, I had a problem with my Visor and lost three weeks of data, because I was also having Hot Sync problems. Not a problem anymore. I don't even Hot Sync anymore, I just use this module about once a week. It's worth [the money] for peace of mind. I will NEVER lose my data again.
What is your time worth?.......2001-12-01
If you have ever had to do a hard reset of your visor then you know what a pain it is to restore everything on your Handspring. HotSyncing does not save everything and many times does not backup the programs you may have installed. After I had two hard resets I purchased this module. Each reset took me about 2 hours to recover data and programs. I think that after just two hard resets this module will have paid for itself for me. The program is simple - you can backup or restore. This is not a memory expansion module. Get one and use it often. (Hopefully not for often restorations!)
