Transcend TS RDF5K USB Type A Card Reader, Black

Prima USB card-reader. Werkt zonder problemen en de snelheid is ook prima in orde. Echter wel een ster aftrek voor de bouwkwaliteit. Het is afgewerkt met pianolak en daardoor een vingerafdruk-magneet. Ik had het liever in mat-zwart gezien. Ook rammelt de inhoud van de stick als je ermee schud, terwijl het dopje eraf is. Dit doet niks af aan de werking van het product, maar het komt wel een beetje goedkoop over. Anders dan dat doet het wat het moet doen.

Neat and tidy. Reads only SD and Micro SD cards so is not cluttered with superfluous ports I will never use. Smokingly fast transfer rate of the photos from my Canon camera card. 48 pics transferred instantaneously, from my point of view. I clicked "move" and they were moved. Downloading from my camera, using the same usb3 port, takes a good few seconds with Windows. No additional software needed. Plug & Play. I plugged it in with the card inserted and the file open immediately, it took the "Device Ready to use" message another couple of seconds to appear. In every respect this is the Speedy Gonzales of card readers, and a very good price too. In total agreement with the other 2 reviews. I am so glad I chose this one.

Device works as expected. Had one similar once back in the time but I kinda lost it somewhere, so I bought this and it does its job.

Excelente herramienta para las tarjetas SD, lo compre puesto que tenía problemas con otro lector, éste me funcionó de forma correcta, no da problemas y no daña los archivos durante la transferencia. Simple, pequeño y funcional.

Great, cheap card reader! When I built my mid-high end machine in August, I was planning on getting a card reader for one of the slots in the front, just under the Blu-Ray drive I decided to put in... However, it would have put me just above my budget, and internal cables may have been problematic... So, with the several USB 3.0 ports I had available, I figured I'd find a USB card reader. I wasn't expecting a 3.0 device to be so cheap, but I guess I was wrong! Speeds are fast. I want to say... 50-60 MBps. That's with the Sandisk Class 10 card I have in my point and shoot camera... I'm just ballparking it. But it's running at actual USB 3.0 speeds, and not the 10-20 MBps I would normally get when transferring something via USB 2.0, especially when using a USB cable to transfer directly from the camera. But that in itself is another plus. You don't waste battery doing transfers from your card to your computer when using a card reader. So what's bad about it? Not much at all. However, some things to mention... The card doesn't spring/lock into place. It's a friction fit. For someone who is going to be transferring every day, the fit may become really loose on the part of both the card, and this card reader... However, I usually do transfers a couple times a month, sometimes more, depending on what I've just used my cameras for. And that is my primary use. Transferring my videos and pictures from my cameras. So for a hardcore photographer, this may not be the best option... However, for someone who is simply looking for an easy way to transfer their casual pics and videos to their computer, this may very well be the solution you're looking for... Another thing to know... After transferring a ton of files, this thing will get fairly hot. It's not something I would use to transfer files, and then use it to watch the videos directly from the card. When doing that, it gets hotter than I'm comfortable with. I'm sure it's not even a concern, but it is something worth noting. Don't play a bunch of files off of it, and do large transfers. I personally don't trust the heat. Bottom line... If you're a moderate SD card user (or micro SD as well), and want something cheap, fast, and compact, then this may very well be what you're looking for! It MAY have potential downsides, but I haven't run into any problems. If I do, I will try to remember to report back. But for the last several months, it's been a great little accessory that replaces a whole card reader drive-thing to take up a slot in my computer. Not to mention, it does it's job and it's cheaper. Definitely give it a try! P.S., I lost the cap. It was hard to get off anyway, so I'm sure I just threw it somewhere... No worries, though!
