Square Desktop Card Reader

This is a perfect card reader for me. Sits still on my desktop, cards fit in easily and eject easily. The reader is very fast with the USB-C connection. Does exactly what I need it to do.

With Apple releasing its new iMac desktop they decided on NO card reader for us photographers as in previous models. With new thunderbolt connections vs. USB I needed a hub for my external drives as well. One chat with B&H they turned me on to this guy. Works seamlessly.

This works as both a conventional card reader for a desktop/laptop reader and an OTG device for either phone or tablet. It's got a place in my camera bag for quickly transferring photos to a tablet for quick editing & distribution.

I recently purchased a laptop to take on photography trips. My desktop has a built in SD card reader, but the laptop doesn't. This works perfectly to allow me to move the photos from my SD card to my laptop.

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!
