Customer Review: The Price is Right - if you got it for FREE
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this 10-in-1 USB 2.0 High Speed Card Reader for 'free' with the purchase of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16GB, so I have very low expectation to begin with. With that in mind, here are my observations:
- The name '10-in-1' is a great exaggeration. Basically, this is a SD/SDHC card reader. It can also read MMC/MMC-plus cards because they are physically the same size as SD cards. So at most you can call it a '4-in-1' reader. The other 6 formats (mini-SD/SDHC micro-SD/SDHC, rs-MMC, whatever) all require adapters to be used in this card reader.
- The transparent plastic case looks pretty, but it is very cheaply made. On my unit there is a crack across the top, which was probably caused during shipping in a plain envelope.
- The USB end is wider and fatter than an ordinary USB plug (see my Customer Image). That means you cannot plug it into an USB port if any of the neighboring ports is occupied.
- The device is not recognized by my desktop and laptop computers when it is first plugged in. After much experimentation, I found out that if I remove the unit and re-insert it immediately, then it is recognized by the computer. None of my other USB card readers (including the Transcend S5 which I also got for 'free' with Transcend 16 GB SDHC) exhibited this problem.
- As a card reader, it is slow. I benchmarked a Transcend class-6 SDHC card with this reader. The read/write speed I got is about 5% slower than that obtained when using the Transcend S5 card reader.
As mentioned before, I got this item for 'free' (except for a $1.49 shipping fee), so it is still acceptable as a backup SDHC card reader. But I would be very disappointed if I have to pay good money for it.
