Review on Sabrent USB 3.0 Super Speed 4 Slot Memory Card Reader (CR-BMC3) for Windows, Mac, and Linux - Enhanced Compatibility with SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC/MicroSD, T-Flash/MS, MS PRO Duo/CF, and More by Jeremy Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There were sporadic errors that could become expensive

Everything worked perfectly for the first few months. It connects to your computer with no hiccups and loads fairly quickly. However, since about 2 weeks about 1 in 300 or 400 photos uploaded is corrupted. This is especially true for RAW files. This is not my card as I have tried several and can go back and re-download the corrupted file and it works fine. The problem is that the corruption doesn't show up until I sort the images and preview them from the RAW data in Lightroom. If it takes me a few weeks to crop and edit photos, I usually format the memory card for the next shoot. A good card reader, maybe mine, is unique, but such a discrepancy is dangerous for a professional shooter.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Expensive
