Anker USB 3.0 SD Card Reader, 2-in-1 SD Card Reader for SDXC, SDHC, MMC, RS-MMC, Micro SDXC, Micro SD, Micro SDHC, UHS-I Cards - Card Reader, Micro SD Card Reader

It just works. This Anker SD Card Adapter is great especially if you're using USB-A ports. I've never had a single issue with this. It does what it says. Copies files to/from devices and Reads/Writes like a champ. I copy a lot of files from my DAW (Desktop) to my Laptop workstation. I do Custom Battle Records in Soundforge Pro and drop them into my Serato DJ Pro library with this SD Card Adapter. When I finish one or more sample chop, Battle Record masterpieces 🤔 I put the Wav file(s) onto an SD Card with this adapter plugged into my DAW (Desktop) Then eject the adapter and plug it into my Laptop. It works like a thumb drive but for SD cards. It only takes a few seconds to copy a few gigabytes of Wav files. I pick the crate I want to use & drop the new Wav files into my Serato DJ Pro software Plug the cable back into the laptop from my Pioneer DJM DJ mixer and click analyze inside the Serato software. Now the software sees the new file(s) and analyzes the various parameters. File Name, BPM, Length, Bit rate etc. For those of you who use this software remember to put your files in the music folder on your main internal/OS drive for best performance. It provides the quickest round trip, point A to point B. Basically once I have the files I want to copy, that whole process take about 5 min or less. The Anker might not be the best SD Card reader/writer you can buy. The SanDisk Professional SD Card Reader probably takes that spot but if you need a reliable portable SD Card Reader/Writer that does what it's supposed to without any hassle. Anker makes one of the best I've ever used. I plan on getting a portable usb-c Card Adapter as well, because usb-c is so ubiquitous, and the standard protocol. That said, I've had the Anker SD card adapter for over a year and I'll probably be using it for many more. I didn't know what to expect in terms of compatibility, ease of use and reliability when I got this. But the Anker SD Card Adapter exceeded my expectations. I produce music for a living. I need the things I use for that to not only work but help save time I use SD cards in my MPC. So I use this for that too. This might be a small device but it plays a surprisingly large role in my everyday workflow More than I expected it to when I bought it. But regardless of how you plan to using this to copy and transfer files, whatever the scenario as long as you're careful, it may be portable but it's still plastic it should remain a reliable SD card adapter for years. Connectivity is straight forward. In terms of heat it gets warm but usually not hot while in use. The card slots all function properly and easy to use. Again, think of this like a thumb drive for SD cards. It's Small but still capable of big jobs. The materials used on plastic with a metal/aluminum USB port as you'd expect. I've used this 100 times and it's never failed. I like everything about it, you probably will too. 5/5

Bought this for use with my 2021 Model Y. I did a lot of research and saw typical USB thumb drives just couldn’t hold up to the constant read/write cycles of dashboard cam usage. And SSDs with metal enclosures just ran too hot. So my solution was a SanDisk Endurance microsd (get one that’s made for use with dashcams/drones/etc), with a microSD-to-USB adapter. I love the Anker brand so I went with this one.At first it didn’t appear on the Tesla (I have the USB insert in my glovebox). I looked at the device and it showed only USB 3.0. I didn’t see anywhere that it was reverse compatible (neither on the box or device itself). However I see here on the website it’s reverse compatible to USB 1.1 even! So that wasn’t the issue.I tried using another microSD-to-USB adapter (I had an old adapter made by Transcend back from my photography days). Plugged in and the Tesla read it right away. Reformatted the microsd card and good to go.I had a feeling that maybe the Anker would work now. So I unplugged the transcend adapter, took the microsd card out - and inserted my Anker adapter (with the microsd card inserted in it). And it showed up immediately on the Tesla.It seems like reformatting the microsd card (creating the Tesla dash cam root folder) might have done the trick. So either use your owners manual and read how to reformat it on your pc first and then plug in. Or if you have a spare adapter laying around, try another brand first. (But you probably wouldn’t order this if you already had one lol).I will say… I’m not returning the Anker because it’s a lot shorter/stubbier than my long transcend adapter. This Anker version fits better in the glove box (sticks out less).**kudos to the packaging!! I didn’t need scissors to open this. Anker made a cool packaging design with this product . Let’s see how long it will last for!

Was very easy to use on our new Windows 11 computer. The new pc did not have ports for SD reader as our last one did. But this accomplished the task quickly and easily.

I picked one of these up about 2 years ago. It worked well at first. Over the winter I was traveling and tried transferring some files. It would transfer some data and then hit an unexpected error and cancel the operation.I decided to buy another one because it is a good price and copied files relatively quickly while it did work. I’ve had a lot of these things over the years and they all tend to stop working in one way or another after a couple of years. This one is pretty good.

5 + this little thing is fast I use it every time I get a chance I even try taking my SD card out of my voice recorder and put it in there and transferring it to my cell phone pretty cool and I can do the same with music who would have thought..

It’s perfect, the microsd card fits perfectly and is compatible with my laptop. Simply plug and play. Another great purchase from one of my favorite electronic brands.

Works on Linux, Windows too. Its plug and play each alot appears as a separate drive. No issues with compatibility on different micro sds or regular sd cards. WONT FALL APART EASY. Other cheaper brands literally snap in half and dont feel sturdy this feels very sturdy.Get this, reputable brand my work would pretty often get from.

small package with USBA and SD on TOP for easy access and control. I have bought this model for years !Fred
