Lost Square Card Reader

I purchased this to replace an older XQD card that was lost, and was happily surprised by how much faster this newer one is. No real world time tests yet, but it's fast. My only complaint is that it comes with a new proprietary card reader, so if you're using these cards in combination with the older ones you'll need to carry two card readers with you, and also be sure which reader is for which card. However the performance of this card is better enough that I'll probably just buy a few more and save the old ones as spares.

This SanDisk card reader had no problems reading a card that was giving us errors when using different brand of card reader. We though we lost data from the card only to find that the old card reader was the problem. We tried this SanDisk reader and like magic we had no issues and all the date was readable just fine! Life saver!

I had used one of these card readers ever since I bought a Nikon that used XQD cards — but I misplaced the reader. Well, I lost it. (Still trying to figure that out!) I replaced it right away and the new one works as well as the old one did. Great quality.

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.

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!

If you are shooting 4K or above, this card reader is a must.
