Square Card Reader Windows Phone

Excellent card for my Windows Phone....large capacity....B&H does it again !

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.

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....

I have this little multi card reader plugged in to my computer USB C port on my computer and I can pretty much download my full resolution, raw and JPEG files from my canon 5D Mark four with no problem at all. It is super fast like rocket fast. This unit is pretty much plug and play really didn't have to do too much windows 11 and windows 10 based machines were able to recognize it right away and function normally

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.

The installed card reader in my desk top PC quit working, Windows reported a hardware failure and attempts to repair or load a new driver would not work. I discovered this USB driven card reader and ordered it. The shipping and handling was lightning quick and costs were less than UPS or FedEx. I was easily able to load new software onto my 2 GB SD card which I use in a Garmin Marine GPS Chart Plotter. Problem solved!

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.
