Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Enhanced SanDisk SD UHS-I Card Reader for Optimal Performance - Model SDDR-C531-GNANN by Octavius Webster

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There is a design issue with the seating of the cards

As many others have reported the cards are so tight that it looks like the card will be damaged and it is almost impossible to pull the card out. In my Sony UHS II reader (which reads my AngelBird cards at over 250MB/s), I only got 90MB/s read speeds from SanDisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s SDXC cards. I contacted SanDisk and they said I need this reader. I got 165MB/s with this reader, but I almost couldn't get the card out. I just called SanDisk support and they said this is the only reader that reads cards at 170MB/s at full speed. I explained the fit issue and asked them to report it and they said they would report it to tier 3 support. I hope there will be a new reader soon. I just returned the reader and will put up with a 90MB/s read speed until a better reader comes along.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
