Cost Of Square Card Reader

This is a great low-cost 3 in 1 reader.

The OTG card reader is a plus!

Works well, only wish it would come with the appropriate card reader.

A very fast card reader!

This is the best choice for a card reader.

Great card reader.

If you don't have an SD card reader, this is a great option to get that won't cost much either. For me, having this extra SD card reader makes downloading twice as fast when I have multiple cards to download. The aluminum housing gives me the safety of knowing it won't break easily if I drop it and the built in usb-c cable means that's one less extra cable to carry. Also, take a look at the picture I took next to a quarter to get a real sense of how small this card reader is. This is a great addition to my kit since I travel often for work. [ I have received this product in exchange for my honest review.]

I hesitated for a while before buying this card and the special reader for my Nikon D850 because of the cost and the need for another device. Since I bought it, I store my RAW files on this card and use the other slot for overflow. What a difference it makes in shooting speed. I am sure that for shooting video this card is even more a necessity. So yeah, my D850 is worth it!

I bought a Sabrent CFast 2.0 Card Readerreader at a $39 cost, and a Angelbird CFast 2.0 Memory Card Reader at an $89 cost. The Sab rent is just as fast as the expensive Angelbird reader. I will be returning the Angelbird reader.

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!
