Video Card Notebook

I have a fairly new notebook PC that does not have an SD card reader (many don't, nowadays). On Sunday's, I use it at church as part of our live-streaming setup, replacing an older PC (that did have an SD card reader) that experienced a hard drive failure. I also have the need to transfer the post-service files from our three video cameras onto the notebook PC, for further use and processing. The streamed full mix is also copied from an SSD attached to our Atem switcher, to an SD card for transfer to our local access cable station. (There are three of us involved in different parts of these efforts, so yes, that's just the way we do it :) In any event, I needed an SD card reader/writer to handle the above-mentioned tasks. The reviews seemed positive, so I chose this item. So far, this unit is doing the job very well, and with the SanDisk Extreme SD cards that we use, the transfers occur very quickly (far quicker than the built-in reader on the old PC). Build quality is excellent. I've only been using this for a few weeks now, so I can't comment on long-term reliability. Also, I don't use micro-SD cards, so I can't comment on those. However, overall, at this point I would recommend. The only negative I would mention has nothing to do with the actual product. Instead, my gripe is that some notebook PC makers are not including SD card readers, which many of us doing photo/video/media still need. Thus, this just makes another piece of equipment to be carried. :(

For some reason when I put my SD card in the slot of my notebook it doesn't read it. I needed the card reader to make the transfers from the card. This card is small and compact and does the transfer fast.

After buying a notebook computer with USB-C ports, I wanted a card reader that could take advantage of the speed. I first bought a cheap no-name reader from a different vendor, but found that it was very slow, slower than the USB3 reader that came with my XQD cards. Then I went back and read the reviews, finding some who said that the cheap reader had intermittent problems that actually destroyed data on their camera cards! Into the trash it went, and I immediately bought this Sony card reader. It's been fast and trouble free.

The case works great for my HP notebook. I turned the computer tray around and made a small cut out so I can access the USB ports and card slot. With an external hard drive and a card reader held in the lid organizer and a broadband card, I don't have to take the computer out of the case to use it in the field. I can photograph, download to the computer and review the images in the field with a client. The case is as sturdy as they come.

Holds everything I need for the notebook,

Used with a small notebook. Easily transfer from PC TO Notebook.

Always a trusted video card.

I take some video shot and this card is perfect for that...
