USB3 and USBc SD and mSD
I haven't tried all of the ports on the device, but those that I have work perfectly. USB-3 speed seems quite fast which is great for external drives. Previously, all I had were USB-2 and this is dramatically better. Micro-SD reads video files from my drone perfectly.
It works as advertised. Getting MUCH faster read/write speeds than my old pre- USB 3.0 reader (that looks identical). I benchmarked my microSD card at ~40-50 MB/s. Given the speed ratings of "up to" on SD cards, I couldn't say for sure if this reader or the card is the limiting factor. The same card achieved around 10 MB/s on the old reader. Goal was to be able to measure the difference between different "high speed" SD cards (so I can pick which should go in the phone and which in other more general storage uses). Mission accomplished, I was able to discern a speed difference with this reader where I wasn't with the old 2.0 one.
VVery simplistic, very easy to use, and good size, came in early
- Small - Feels sturdy for something so small and light - USB 3.0 (fast) - plug and play
Does what you expect and does it well and fast! Plugged in the USB-C side to the front panel of my computer with my micro-sd card and was seeing 90mb/sec copying files from it. Options for usb or usb-c connector is just nice!
Simple, compact, & easy to use. Works with the newer SDXC UHS-1 memory card (XP users see Cons). Came free with a 64GB memory card.
- All the slots work, and cards in them reach their published read and write specs. I'm a big fan of the very fast Samsung Pro cards; - Don't need an adapter for the microSD to get full speed; - Transfers between slots doesn't have any obvious restrictions. I think microSD and SD are the same drive, though; - Price is very reasonable, considering all it does.
was looking for a way to get my pc to read a sd card since the cheap pc case didn't have one built into it, this does the trick.. using a asus 970 mobo
I have a large music library in an Astell & Kern player, and transferring files through USB on the player to the computer is very slow. Taking the SD card out and plugging it into USB 3 port I was backing up the library at 148MB/sec. So much faster at only 20MB/sec.
Works as described.
The Enlabs card reader looks great and performs just as well.
Inexpensive, works well and thin Never a boot or detect issue Has become our favorite
All the right ports and none of the ports I'll never use. Powered by an SATA power connection (included)
I only need the SD, Micro SD and SM slots. Both SD slots seem to work, I haven't tested the SM slot yet. A bigger plus is that it works with Windows 7 Beta 7000, so it's definitely future proof. It also has a single USB port that most card readers at this price range lack. This will come in handy if you don't have any front mounted USB port.
