Review on StarTech Com Internal Multi Card Reader Support by Scott Koeck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well so far

Multicard Reader does what it's supposed to do, at least for SD cards and USB ports. It reads my UHS-II cards at 210 and writes them at 170, which is good. CF and MS slots cannot be tested. It installs easily into a 3.5 inch slot. The green status light and red activity light are fine, but they may conflict with your PC's color scheme. Cons: Note that it occupies one of the mobo's USB 3 slots. I understand that most mobile devices only have one, so if you plug it in, you can't plug in any of the other front USB3 ports. There may be splinters, but from what I've read they're a bit of a headache. There was a way to pipe this to an external USB 3 port. Searched for adapters, but no success. finding the right one to put your card in, especially for microSD, which can accidentally end up in large slots. therefore it should serve for several years.

Pros
  • Best
