Some Trouble
01/19/2014
This review is from: nMEDIAPC i18-C68 USB 3.0 7-in-1 SDXC Card Reader
Pros:
Once installed, this drive seems to work fine and the USB3.0 speeds are very nice for transferring pictures from my digital camera, etc.
The cord to connect to the motherboard was plenty long enough to get around my video card and reach the plug-in on the board, even with my 90 degree rotated Silverstone case.
Cons:
Had some trouble during installation, where the drive was installed, but would not work. I resolved this by looking in Device Manager and noticing there were two drivers for "Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller" and the second was not working properly. It wasn't until I uninstalled both of these drivers and scanned for hardware changes that everything worked properly.
Once installed, there are two feature I'm not too happy with. One is a red LED that stays lit, even when the computer is off. The second is that memory cards have to be inserted upside down; not a problem, but not very intuitive.
Overall Review:
All in all, I'm glad to see a memory drive that finally takes advantage of the USB3.0 plug on my motherboard. This just could have been better.
