The plus side of this SD card reader is that it is compatible with the new 170MB/s cards. These Sandisk cards can only sustain this read speed using proprietary readers like this one. In a normal SD card reader the speeds will be like the older 95MB/s cards. So that’s one big advantage. However. The reason I don’t really like this reader and deducted a star is that I find it hard to get cards in/out. This one isn’t as bad as the UHS-2 version though. It’s still a little stiff but the other was so bad, I was worried I’d break the card.

Plugging into a fast USB port, this little device tears through 100’s of raw files at or near the stated speed on the Sandisk cards. While it is supposed to go to 170 MB/s, I got 180 MB/s using a Sandisk Extreme Pro card labelled as 200 Mb/s. I also have cards at 90 MB/s and they transfer at the stated speed. So this little device seems to help get the spec of the cards even if it isn’t labelled as quick flow or what not. Happy with this purchase.

Had issues getting my Pc to read it at the start. But that was an issue with the pc. Otherwise this is a great little card reader. So small and easy to use. Really perfect for photographers or filmographers to quickly transfer images. Also it’s small size makes it easy to transport in your pocket or camera bag One person found this helpful

My PC does not have a SD card slot by default, this adapter allowed me to transfer photos from my camera. Pros: The build quality is good, although a little plasticky and it shows fingerprints very easily, but they wipe away. It is very well built for the price, and it looks very sleek and has a compact design so it’s not too obtrusive. Cons: The only con is that it has no cord length so if it’s on a rear USB port it cannot be accessed easily. I can forgive this as I understand that it is intended for use with laptops that do not have an SD adapter, and I only plug it in when it is in use so there is no issue. 3 people found this helpful

It’s just a card reader, so most of the time you shouldn’t have to think about it, and so far I don’t. It just works, and when I ran some speed tests it was able to read and write as fast as the card inserted would allow, which is all you can ask. It feels solid and well made in spite of its diminutive size and low price. I’ve never had a dud SanDisk product and this confirms my choice. I did not have the problem mentioned by previous reviewers with cards being an excessively tight fit, so maybe I was lucky and maybe SanDisk fixed the issue in later production batches. Compact, efficient and inexpensive, so yes, recommended. One person found this helpful

I was initally put off buying this due to the numerous reviews saying how badly the cards fit in these but after shopping around for a better alternative I couldn’t find anything anymore trustworthy so I decided to risk going with one of these and I’m really glad I did because it is brilliant. Yes, the card could fit in a bit nicer but it is by no means a big issue, not with the one I got anyway, I guess some might be worse than others. It was particularly reluctant to go in the first time but now I’ve used it a few times it seems to be getting easier to insert. I wanted one these because I’ve just bought a Lumix S5 and the video files that produces can be massive so I needed something a bit quicker than the built in SD card slot on my iMac. I did a quick transfer test with a 4gb video file from the SD card to to my 2017 iMac SSD via the built in SD card slot, here are the results: iMac SD card slot: 42 seconds SanDisk SD card reader: 23 seconds So a massive improvement in transfer speeds, almost twice as fast which is just what I was after, couldn’t ask for anything more, great product. 6 people found this helpful
