Tek Republic TUC-310 USB 3.0 Card Reader Support SD, SDHC, SDXC, Micro SD (t-Flash), UHS-I, CF, High-Speed CF UDMA

Pros: small with short cable great for traveling.

Cons: not problems after a week

Overall Review: It would be nice if you inserted the logo side of the card on the logo side of the reader. This is not a big deal it is a bit odd to turn the card upside down to insert in the reader.

Pros: Small Inexpensive Works great The cord makes it easier to plug in than a solid one-piece unit.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I just wanted to be able to transfer data to and from an SD card. This does the job perfectly. I prefer the unit with a short cord rather than the "one-piece" type of units. I don't have much room/clearance and it's easier to plug in a short cord than to have some big plastic thing sticking out the side. It transfers my data nice and fast. That's all that I need and it did a great job.

Pros: Small, fast usb 3.0, good newegg price, it is supposed to work with many different types of cards and it works with all of the cards I use.

Cons: I didn't get one sooner :) It is made in China and I really prefer not to buy items made outside of the USA, but most electronics and other items are imported now. I do have a number of items made in China that work well and this part works well, and the customer service is great, so this is really only a small negative that can't be helped if Tec Republic want's to be competitive on price.

Overall Review: This was actually thrown in with a USB hub that Tek Republic replaced for me. The old hub would randomly lose connection to my printer or hard drive. It couldn't have been easier to have them replace that hub under warranty. They asked that I send pictures and when they got them, they said a new hub was on it's way. I have been dealing with another manufacturer of a part I bought on newegg (newegg warranty is expired). That manufacturer didn't want to stand by their warranty and I had to demand they replace the bad part when they were unable to fix it. They tried to blame the problem on me rather than normal wear and tear or a flaw in the product. They don't have a great customer service reputation and they need to take a page from the customer service book of Tek Republic. Tec Republic went above and beyond what was required when I had a problem. I will buy their products in the future. The new 4 port Tec hub is working well. I will need more time to be sure that the new hubs don't randomly disconnect, but so far the 4 port works and more importantly, Tec Republic stands behind their product and reputation. They asked that I review the freebie. They must have thought they had a good product.............and they were right. If I didn't like it, I would have said so. It is pretty cool because I didn't have a flash card reader. I used an older printer that had a reader but it was slow and the printer doesn't print now (will scan though). I used a cable directly from my DSLR camera to my computer. I transferred 900 MB of photos from the camera to the computer. The camera is the first DSLR that Sony had, so it is 6+ years old and the CF cards are not nearly as fast as what is out now. The camera transferred at 8.5 MB/second. I then used the card reader, which was plugged into the Tek Republic USB 3.0 4 port powered hub, which is plugged into a USB 3.0 port on my computer, and got 20 MB/Second. I seem to recall those cards being rated at 20 MB/S when I bought them years ago. The difference in speed was awesome. I will use the card reader from now on. Just to make sure I really tried out the reader, I got the SDHC card from my digital picture frame and tried it. It worked perfect. I even tried the memory card out of my smart phone. Three different types of cards for the three types of ports on the card reader and it all worked just as I expected. This card reader is more useful than I expected. It sure beats plugging in each device with it's own usb cable.

Pros: It does its job at USB 3.0 speed. It reads Micro SD and SD formats. (I don't use the others but it is nice to have have, just in case.) Portable. Reasonably priced.

Cons: It should have a longer cord or better strain relief. If you treat it carefully, this should not be a problem, but battle damage does occur sometimes.

Pros: This is a great little multi card reader. very fast, small, light.

Cons: Then it stopped working. It appears that one of the tiny pins in the CF slot has either broken off, or pushed in. It will read 1 of my cards, none others. Very annoying.

Pros: It has exactly what one would need, and it works exactly as advertised.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This thing works great.

Pros: price was right. Its portable. Although I have owned for only a week i've used it alot and it does the job for me. I will up date if I have a problem.

Cons: none right now

Pros: Deep slot for CF card (will not bend pins) USB 3.0. If you are using CF cards this is the best on the market.

Cons: None
