    They make a virtually identical reader that is 2.0. Go with this one since it is backwards compatible. Eventually you will have a USB 3.0 port, if you dont already.

    Works great on my 2.0 but not on my 3.0 but its not a big deal for most things. This was purchased because my family keeps misplacing my other ones 3 of them can you imagine anyhow I was tired of spending 530 minutes tracking down the others so purchased this so they wouldnt recognize it and take it when they cant find the others and has been here ever since and works for the small files I need it for. It would have had 5 egg if it had worked in 3.0 slot and for the life of me I cant figure that out as they are all backwards compatible. I would still recommend it as it works and small enough to fit in any pocket or hide from others and I assume mine is just glitched for 3.0

    For some reason when I put my SD card in the slot of my notebook it doesnt read it. I needed the card reader to make the transfers from the card. This card is small and compact and does the transfer fast.

    When paired with an SD card or any other card, these can work 100 like any other flash drive. I have also used this for bootable media without trouble.

    People who report that this reader only runs at USB 2.0 speed probably were using slower cards Class 10 is only certified at 10MBsthe reader is obviously limited by the flash card itself. Very few SD cards on the market are rated higher than 9060 MBs and they are quite expensive

    The device is capable to fullfill the promises advertised on the packaging if you have the appropriate SD card and computer. See attached USB2.0 slower and USB3.0 photos. I used a Samsung EVO 80 32GB microSDHC. There are two flaws though, reader is wide so you cannot use the neighbour ports or have to use an extension cable. Also it heats up during usage, but for this price it is not a problem I guess.

    I only use cameras when we go on a family vacation. Until I bought this gadget, I could never figure out how to get the photos off of the memory cards. I would give them to my husband and he would do something at his office to get the pictures off. I have gotten very sick of having to rely on him for this task, so when I ordered a new LUMIX I added the Transcend card reader to my cart.I tried it out this past weekend and it works perfectly with no issues at all. I slipped the memory card into the Transcend gadget, plugged it into my laptop and it mounted as a drive without me doing anything else. Simple and easy. I love itBree

    Ive been using these for some years now, and they have never failed me, even when Ive had to write a lot of data on my cards. I like how they take both microSD and regular SD cards since I have to use the microSD cards with my Raspberry Pi. Its nice not to need to carry around an SD card adapter.

    Yes. I bought it to offload digital pictures from my camera faster than the included USB 2.0 cord included with the cam, which it does flawlessly. Because of its size however and card slot locations, I wouldnt use it as an everyday flash drive.

    You could get something that does the same thing much cheaper, but this is good quality. However, USB3 does not really do anything for it at this stage because most SDMSD cards cant reach full USB2 speed anyway.

    If you only need a reader for SD and SD micro cards, this is the one for you. Its the size of a USB memory stick and functions at USB 3.0 speed. It is also backward compatible for use on USB 2.0 ports.

    Amazing card reader. I was going to get a front bezel card reader, but after seeing the price and reviews of this, as well as realizing you can use it with all of your devices, I went with this. Glad I did. If you have SD cards that you may need to transfer data to a pc, this is an amazing option. You can even lend it to a friend

    I have an older digital camera, a Samsung TL110. I rarely use it, and its like new. It uses IntelliStudio to download pictures to my pc. I updated IntelliStudio and after that could no longer download pics from the camera. Not being real tech savvy, I thought my camera would be useless, but read about card readers and bought this one. All I can say is it works great. Better than using IntelliStudio. Easy to use, small, fast, has more than enough storage for what I do. A very nice buy.

    I feel like it can fall apart as time goes on, its not super high quality, but it does deliver decent USB3 transfer speeds. For occasional use its good, if youre going to be moving it around and using it regularly you may consider a higher quality version.

    Small, compact, and a good price. My leap Frog card reader failed after only three or four months use, so Im hoping to have better luck with this Transcend. Its more compact and it doesnt have that blindingly bright red led that the Leapgrog had. The led on the Transcend is a dim blue, which is nice. The case is a glossy black while the sides have a matt finish, looks pretty sharp. Again, nice small size too. Good deal.

    This is just like a regular USB. It had 2 folders. It can save quite a lot of files and is very reliable. Very straightforward to use. I have never had any issues with it. I am not aware of its price as I was given the USB by college, so it was free for me.

    This card reader does exactly what it is supposed to do. My older MacBook Pro recognized it immediately and photo images were quick to load. The only potential drawback, is if you have an external drive or other device plugged into my only adjacent USB port. The photo accompanying this review is from the top, so you can see what direction the cards insert. Both slots are on the same side.

    I needed a way to transfer photos from my dSLR to my newly built desktop and this works nicely. Its not as big as I thought it was going to be which is a plus, and the transfer speeds arent bad at all. I also like that I dont need to install any software to make it work. Overall, I can recommend this product as a cheap solution to transfer SD card media.

    My oldest device has lasted 4 years now with occasional use My newer devices same model, bought a couple years ago also seem fine with fairly regular use My main Win 7 install sometimes doesnt recognize the device when plugged with an SD card already inserted. There is no issue, however, with first plugging in the device, then inserting an SD card.

    Not much else I can say really but these are brilliant for the high speed memory cards if you use USB3. I have very fast speeds with these but I do have a very high spec home built desktop PC. I think it doesnt really matter how good or bad the pc is as long as you have USB3 you will be happy with this. They are a little bit tinny and thin plastic though but worried me a bit because I first thought they ere fake but Iwas wrong. I went onto the Transcend site and registered it and checked its authenticity. It was original and authentic so I am happy and you do get a 3 year warranty too if you register online. I recommend 100 but look after it as it is not for the building site or the water. It takes my Transcend 128gb micro memory card no problems.

    Great way to speed up your otherwise slow file transfer speeds after recording around 20GB of concert footage from a 1080p 60FPS camcorder, or just moving a few hundred pictures at once. And cheap too If your computer has USB 3.0 or you added a PCIe card like I did, theres no reason not to own one

    Got this for faster transfers of my microSDHC Class 10 UHS1 device, both Crystal Disk Benchmark HD Tune reported the speeds as fast, with read speeds faster than advertised by the OEM. As noted in Cons, the device runs hot if used to transfer a huge file or during speed testing. Havent had the device long enough to know if this will lead to shorter life, however Transcend has been a good brand to me to date. And am sure theyll make it right if something goes wrong. Id like to use it to run a portable Linux on, but the heat concerns me, dont know if itll heat up my motherboard or not. Will likely use it for transferring files only. Nevertheless, itll bring out the speeds of any connected SDHC or microSDHC cards. 90MBsec reads on ADATA Class 10 UHS1 card, thats 10MBsec faster than advertised.

    I took 2 eggs off due to the unit taking a little force to plug in and pull out, which feels like it could cause some damage to the USB port with repeated use. Just be careful when plugging it in and pulling it out and you should be fine. This reader just dont work well with my particular computer case, at least with the front USB ports. I cant blame the reader for that, so I didnt take off any eggs for that.

    This card reader works well and is relatively inexpensive.Note that this device is fairly wide though, and plugging a SD card makes it take even more space. This may make it difficult to use in USB ports that dont have a lot of clearance to the side.

    First the ProsVery fast on a USB 3.0 port with a fast SD Card.Solid feel construction and very small.Works with SDHC I havent tried SDXC yet cards.Great Price for what you getFirmware Upgradable.ConsNone yet.My opinionI was in need of a SDHC card reader as my internal computer card reader wouldnt handle the cards above 2GB capacity. I found this product at Walmart online, quite shocked they would carry a quality item for such a good price. I have used the item on two different cards and it is fast when using a USB 3.0 port. If you use a USB 2.0 port well you slow down to the maximum speed of that port which is still good when you need to readwrite to an SDHC card. The firmware of the reader is upgradable from Transcend to ensure compatibility with future SD cards, likely SDXC since this capacityformat is just now becoming more popular.I strongly recommend this product if you are in the market for a simple quality SD card reader even if you do not have a USB 3.0 port as this will maximize your speed in a USB 2.0 port and it is designed to be somewhat futureproof, a very nice touch.

    Works great for my needs. Ive found it easier to transfer files from my older Android phone to my pc by simply removing its Micro SD card and using this reader to do the transferring.

    ive tried the following SD cards Sony 94MBs 64GB, Sandisk Extreme 45 MBs 64GB, Sony 40MBs 64GB, Lexar Pro 133X 32GB. it had no problem working with any of them, in a desktop PC and in thinkpad X220. i did some quickanddirty speed testing, and all the cards came within 10 of their claimed performance, except for the sony 94 MBs card, for which i got 77 MBs read and 58 MBs write. for these last results, i have reason to suspect bottlenecks elsewhere in my system, not in this transcend SD card reader. overall, im very pleased. ive only owned it a couple of weeks, so i cant vouch for its longevity, but its been great, so far.

    High capacity SDXC use exFAT format. In order to use them on WinXP you need WindowsXPKB955704 patch from MS. If you destroyed exFAT format on your flash you will be able to restore it after the patch or you can use SDFormatterv4 from the SD Association.

    As stated above, it can only read one card at a time. This is not a hub connector, it is read as a removable disc by Windows. If you are looking for a hub that will read multiple cards at once, this is not what you want

    I had misplaced my other Transcend card reader, so wanted another one so that I could keep transferring images.

    Perfect product for moving around my files from my laptop to my desktop and tablet.

    The product is compact and very fast to copy data. The only thing I was surprised and little disappointed was the cards are inserted from the side instead of the end of the Reader. That is fine for the microSD cards but with the SD card it sticks out too far and cant plug the card reader into the port if the next port on the computer is being used. Just not enough room for both. That is why having the design to plug into the end of the reader would be better. Performance is excellent and the activity light is very useful. Well built and definitely a good buy.

    Transfer rate using Crystal Benchmark on my fastest SD card 32 GB Samsung EVO SD card was 47 MBs read and 42 MBs write 50MB files or 22MBs with larger 500MB files with this plugged into a USB 3.0 port. with a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra Plus I got 41 MBs read 23MBs write with 100 MB files and 81 MBs Read and 14 MBs write with 500 MB files. I suspect the poor write performance on the sandisk may have to do with USB 3.0 chip set on my 990FXAUD7 motherboard. I read that the 3.0 port on this motherboard is unreliable with Transcend adapters, but not for sure. I am building another computer soon that will have a better 3.0 chipset and look forward to using this adapter on that computer. I dont need any other memory card types so this works great.

    I like the speed and convenience this reader provides. Makes copying photos much faster than USB 2.0. All this in a small package. I would prefer if the reader had an arrow indicating where the notched edge of the SDHC memory card should go.

    Works rocket fast in a 3.0 port. Almost SATA SSD fast with my ultra high speed SDHC card. SD card mounts 90 degrees on the side so this is not a pocketable combo while the SD card is installed. Win7x64.

    I just received my Transcend card reader in the mail, and i like it, but the micro SD part of it doesnt work. Ive tried it several times…nothing. At least the regular SD slot does.I bought it to use in my car stereos USB slot for music. Since I have a Pioneer mechless MVH291BT radio receiver, it does not play CDs but is equipped with 1 USB slot and an Aux port. Im done with CDs that scratch easy. YEAHIt does ok for what I need it for so Im satisfied with it. I like the little blue LED light that comes on when you plug it in. lol.

    I use it on a daily basis with different types of SDHCSDXC cards from various manufactures. It is a quality product, no doubt and operates with all those cards without issue. And if you plug it into USB 3.0 port, a PC reads card contents almost momentarily, regardless of number of files and regardless of a PCs OS I use it on Win 78.110. Only minor drawback is that you cant use both card slots at the time.

    This is a compact unit that is capable of reading and writing to both SD and Micro SD cards up to 64 gigabytes without the need for adapters. The protective cover for the USB connector prevents uninterded damage and dirt. For the price it is a good deal. The ability to prug directly into a usb2 or usb3 port without having to find a connector cable is a great advantage. It did take a little trial to determine that you need to put the micro usd card in upsidedown.

    What can I say It simply works. Plug in either your SD or MicroSD card one at a time not both and plug it into a USB port, either 2.0 or 3.0 and it reads and writes to the card. I use it mostly when I need to write to card for a Raspberry Pi board and it has never let me down. I havent run speed tests to confirm actual speed but I suspect that also depends on the actual SD card one is using. I also like the white color as it makes it easier, for me, to find in all the clutter I accumulate. Registered device at the Transcend website easily enough but have never had to use their warranty on any other of their products Ive owned.

    This product works as intended, so happy on that end. Service was bad, I felt like I was interrupting the customer service person and didnt look like he was in the mood to help me either and looked like he wanted to get back to what he was doing. He had little knowledge of the product and made assumptions about the questions I had. Didnt offer any alternatives either. No smiles or welcoming nature and not putting the customer first. Left feeling frustrated and in a bad mood.

    I got this to replace an internal card reader which ceased to function correctly. I considered a direct replacement, but I wanted something faster than the old USB 2.0 card reader, and my PC has USB 3.0 ports, but only on the back of the case. So, I got a USB 3.0 extension cable, and this card reader to use with it, and it all works great. Much faster than the old internal reader

    I asked the guy at BH for the cheapest SD card reader and this is what he gave me. You get what you pay for. It works but it is a little flimsy. I have had some problems with it. When I plug it in for the first time, only some of the files load, and then it freezes. I unplug it and plug it right back in and it works perfectly fine. I have used it about 20 times so far and I had to do this process about 19 times. Only once did it work the first time around.I only give this 2 stars. It will get the job done eventually, and the price is cheap, but next time I will spend a few more dollars and get a better one.

    I have a new laptop which for some reason did not have available a regular SD card reader as an option for it. It has a micro SD card reader but no regular size SD card reader. I have some electronic equipment which uses only the original size SD cards for database storage and I have to use my laptop to keep these databases updated. This card reader was a great solution to the problem. I bought 2 of them so that I could have 1 at home and 1 at the location of the equipment which uses the SD storage cards. The readers work great for doing the updates. They are fast and were a really reasonable price at BH.

    I purchased an external SD card reader so that I didnt have to struggle with locating the card reader on the back side of my new iMac computer. Initial tests with he Transcent reader show it to be fast at reading large capacity 16 GB cards. And it is certainly more convenient than the reader that Apple has hidden on the back of the computer. My only complaint is that the end cap will likely get lost as I plan to keep the reader permanently attached to the computer via a USB cable.

    A good data transfer speed using USB3. Ive only tested it with a SD but it also has a slot for the micoSD card as well. The unit is about the size of a memory stick, but a little wider, so you probably wont be able to plug it into a slot with an adjacent stick in place. However, most PCs have plenty of USB slots these days and so this probably wont be an issue. The unit seems well made and the price is reasonable. Bazza

    This little Transcend is a very nice value if you need an SD, SDXC or MicroCard reader. My PC cant read the new SDXC highspeed cards by itself and since I have just gotten a device that uses them, I needed an interface. This USBpluggable little unit works like a charm plug in, PC identifies it, and you insert your card of choice in the reader. Thats it. Regular SD or SDXC show up right away. If you are ahead of the curve enough to have USB 3.0, this unit is ready for it of course it is also backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0. Use this at home or stick one in your bag and there you go. A neat, simple, cheap solution that works. Recommended. C. Harding.

    In some cases, it will depend on the controller but in my laptop, the speeds the cards are rated for, are not always near the limit but far off, but then again, my laptop is 3 years old and I cant find newer drivers for the controller, so maybe the speed of the flash memory cards reach their limit. But Id definitely recommend this reader, because it reads both formats and easily recognized my 128GB SD card from Wintec.

    First, the card slots are on the side, meaning this device needs the space of 2 USB devices, especially with an SD card inserted.Second, it will only support ONE card being inserted at a time. In other words, you cant plug in an SD and a microSD card to copy from one to the other.Third, the builtin SD card port on my laptop tested out at nearly twice the speed as this device plugged into the USB3 port.This device works fine in USB2 or USB3 ports if you arent bothered by the 3 issues I listed.I bought 3 and will be sending them back.

    Tested on both Mac OSX and Linux ubuntu with both SD and microSD. Works great out of box so far. No additional softwaredrivers or setup required. Havent really tested the speeds yet though. Nice size about the size of a regular thumbdrive. Would be nice if there were some way to attach the cover to the back when the card reader is in use to help avoid losing it, but not a big deal. Cover snaps on tight when the drive is not in use, so no worries about it falling off. Would certainly recommend this product.
