Customer Review: Quickly ceases to function
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been attempting to be a satisfied user of this microSD reader for some time now. Despite my best efforts, I am now resorting to writing this review, as there seems to be no escaping the conclusion that this product does not work.
I originally bought one of these as part of Kingston's 8GB mobility kit. It worked fine for about 2 weeks. During this time, I probably swapped my card out of the USB reader into the SD adapter and back, maybe once a day. After about 2 weeks, machines stopped recognizing the card when I was using it with the USB reader. The card itself was still fine. I tried several different machines. I tried reseating the card. I tried to look for dust or debris on the contacts. Nothing helped.
Kingston technical support was very responsive, in that they swapped my defective reader for a replacement promptly. The replacement also worked, for about 1 week, under the same conditions of use. Then I had the same problems again.
I decided to try one more replacement, which Kingston technical support was glad to provide. This time, because I really just want to access my data, I decided to leave the card in the USB reader. No more swapping in and out to use the SD adapter. Things worked OK for maybe 3 weeks or so. Today the reader has ceased to function yet again.
I am forced to conclude that this USB reader just does not function reliably. If you are looking to have reliable USB access to the data you carry on your microSD/microSDHC cards, I have to advise that you look elsewhere.
