How to use this page
Device Driver Guide does not host installers. Read the family page for the hardware you own, work out which package applies to your exact model and Windows edition, then use the official-source citation provided for that decision. A component-branded family may still require the company that built your computer or motherboard rather than Western Digital; follow the declared package source on the family page.
Reference coverage is recorded separately for each family in the comparison below, not as one compatibility list for this manufacturer. These labels describe the scope of the reference, not certified compatibility or continuing Windows support. Confirm the exact device or PC model, hardware revision, Windows release, and package requirements with the manufacturer before making a change.

Card Readers
The SanDisk and Western Digital ImageMate readers are external USB devices aimed at photographers and videographers moving large capture cards. They rely on the built-in Windows driver, so they generally need no installation and mount cards as drives on connection.
