Review on πŸ“Έ Kingston Digital USB 3.0 Super Speed Multi-Card Reader (FCR-HS4) for SD/SDHC/SDXC/microSD/MS/Compact Flash CF Cards - White, Brushed Nickel Finish by Rey Hossain

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent card reader with one major (but manageable) flaw

I REALLY like this reader. It's super fast, the light on top is cool, and it even works with microSD cards, so I can pop the card in straight from a Samsung phone without an adapter. However, I've had this reader for seven days and just bent one of the pins in the compact flash slot, rendering the slot completely inoperable. I run a product photography studio and all of our photographers insert CF cards into our cameras dozens of times a day and in the last ten years we have NEVER bent a pin on any of our cameras. In other words, this reader's CF slot is a bit too big, so the card can move when inserted. I still love this reader and will be replacing it with the same one, but I will be putting cards in it very carefully, which I highly recommend.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Bad experience
