14 Laptop Windows 10 Smart Card Reader Ssd

I bought this to replace my older Sony card reader which wasn't compatible with windows 10, the Lexar reader is perfect. It is fast, sturdy and it does the job well. I highly recommend it.

After purchasing the Canon R5 body I needed a new card reader for the CFexpress card. The card does get warm and I try not to leave the cards in the reader any longer that needed. The only problem I had was when I had a Lexar SD/ Compact Flash card reader also plugged into the Windows 10 computer. I ended up having to unplug the Lexar card reader and reboot the computer. I do not know if that is a card reader issue or just a computer issue. The reader unloads the card very fast. The other item I saw on another review of card readers is I can't eject the card from Windows 10. I have to pull the card out. Not sure if that will damage the card in the long run but I have been doing that for years on my Compact Flash cards with no issues.

I was a little wary of spending this much on a dock, but it has been a great performer! I'm use it for as the central hub for my 16 M1 Max : 2x 4k 60hz 32" BenQs over usb-c to DisplayPort, USB-C 10G Sonnet ethernet adapter usb 3 ssd sata reader Excellon 10 port powered 10 port usb 3 hub (running: keyboard, timemachine, resolve dongle, sd card multi-reader reader, a couple usb chargers) Only issue I had was having to take the ssd sata reader off the usb hub and put it on a dedicated dock port-connection wasn't solid to the Mac. Fixed when it was moved to the dock. I run my CFexpress card reader and Samsung T7 on one of the other Mbp thunderbolt ports when needed. Super easy to plug this in to my Mac everyday, and when I'm not running a heavy workload it even charges the battery without the charger MagSafe connected.

I purchased this SanDisk Professional PRO-READER Multi Card Reader after my laptop SD card reader failed. Ordered it from B&H overnight delivery and it arrived at 10am next day - so kudos to B&H for that. Here's my first thoughts on this SanDisk card reader: -It's fast! First time using it was able download 202 21MP photos from Import to ready to edit in the Develop module in Lightroom in 40 seconds - about 1/4 of the time required compared to my laptop's now defunct card reader. Your milage will vary. -It's USB-C 3.2 version 2 as advertised. (My Windows 11 ProArt Studio laptop does have a USB-C 4 Thunderbolt input. However Thunderbolt card readers cost $200-$300 or more, which was more than I was willing to pay, so this SanDisk reader was a happy compromise. Nevertheless, plugged it into the Thunderbolt port to attain the download speed I mentioned above). -Build quality. The case is made of rugged ribbed aluminum that I think will stand up exceptionally well in a busy office environment. It also looks 'professional' as it not constructed of cheap looking plastic. On the bottom of the case there are four small rubber feet that should stop it from sliding around on a desk like plastic card readers are wont to do. Finally, and this is a big plus for this Sandisk card reader compared to another plasticky 'Top Seller' sold for the same price, the several times I have use it so far it never became too hot to touch or to remove the SD card from it. It's one cool dude, in fact. - Size wise, it's roughly the size of a business card though maybe an inch longer. And if you require more than one I believe SanDisk offers a raid style enclosure to accommodate up to four. My conclusion: This SanDisk Professional PRO-READER Multi Card Reader is very fast, well built, looks professional and stays cool to the touch. So, would I recommend it to a friend. Absolutely!

The card works as described on my windows 10 machine.

I am using this for 2 SSD's and a 3.5 memory card reader. Was easy to install.

Worked great with my Windows 10 laptop. I did not need to use the Driver DVD.

I have a small laptop (that I use for travel) .... that does NOT have a card reader ... so I use this card reader ... and it works super! I have also found that it is very handy for my desktop and larger laptop computers that do have card readers ... it just seems easier to download images from the external card reader.

This reader works with Windows 10, Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. Installation was easy and I recommend this CAC reader.

I bought this on the recommendation of Thom Hogan's public wish list on B&H in which he suggests the Sony G series XQD cards for use with the Nikon D500. It works well with that camera and has been 100% reliable. I have not experienced any issues of the kind reported with other brands/types of XQD cards. I like the fact that the card came with an XQD card reader, -so you know that you have a reader that works with this type of card. The reader is USB 3.0 and comes in the form of a wide dongle that can plug directly into your computer's or laptop's USB port. But it also comes with a 1 foot USB 3.0 extension cord that you can use between the reader and your computer, which is a nice touch. The reader comes with a snap-on plastic cover for its USB connector. The only complaint I have about the reader is that it doesn't have an activity LED, but this is not a big deal. The inclusion of a card reader also saved me some money as otherwise I would have had to buy one separately. A note on the kinds of transfer speeds you may get between the reader and your computer over USB 3.0: The read speeds appear to be OS dependent. I can boot Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, and 10 on the same computer. Under Win 7 I only get read speeds of around 140 to 150 MB/second. Not sluggish, but not particularly fast either. Windows 8.1 is the speed champion at around 230 - 235 MB/second. Win 10 is a little slower at around 220 MB/sec. I've confirmed the Windows 8.1 read speed on my laptop, which only has 8.1 installed. My theory is that the USB storage driver for Windows 7 is not optimized for this kind of reader and media, while the driver for the later versions of Windows is. As always, your mileage may vary....
