Samsung Laptop Card Reader Not Working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected no less than top notch from Samsung and this 128GB ProUltimate SDXC member card (with reader) does not disappoint. It has blazing fast speeds of 200mb/s read and 130mb/s write. Perfect for lightning speed transfers of documents, photos, or data. The memory card comes with a nice sturdy adapter for convenience when using on a computer or laptop. I've used this card in my laptop and it's worked flawlessly. My laptop is able to recognize it right away and I've had no issues using the card reader or the memory card itself. The storage capacity of 128gb is enough for most people but probably not enough for medium format cameras where the files are enormous. The 128gb is surely enough for most digital cameras that take this size memory card. Ultimately, it comes down to quality and durability and I believe that this card will work well as most of my Samsung tech gadgets have lasted for many years.

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!

This sd card reader is very good. Still working since I bought it.

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.

using this cable to get phots from the camera to the laptop works faster than fumbling with the card reader.

Good little card reader for Laptop computers, but currently have not had the chance to try it out to see if it works good and how long it will last.

I was impressed it came with a card reader, their competitors you have pay extra for their reader. I used it several times and it is working fine.

I was using a card reader to download my photos but it was just not working well. This was 1/3 of the price and works perfectly

I have this connected to a Mac Mini and connecting USB 3.0 card reader, USB 3.0 Samsung portable SSD and LaCie USB 3.0 portable external hard drive and can have all plugged in at once.
