Review on 💾 XSY1 - Ultra High Speed 1TB USB Flash Drive Memory Stick - Enhanced Compatibility with iPhone, iPad, iOS, Mac, PC - USB 3.0 External Storage Thumb Drive by Kevin Garcia

My old desktop computer had slots for various memory cards and it was MUCH easier to remove the memory card from my Canon Powershot than to connect a cable. My laptop doesn't have this feature and I lost the camera cable. This reader connects via a short mini USB connector using a standard USB cable that is included in the box. You can't use a cable from your mobile phone - it's a micro USB, not a mini USB. They're similar enough in size and shape that I'm sure people will mess up devices by trying to plug the wrong cable into the jack. My advice: never unplug the cable from the card reader. My camera has a mechanism that keeps the memory card secure. This device does not have this. It takes a little practice to get the card in the right slot correctly, but the computer will tell you when it's right. I don't know if it's more secure, but I plug in the card and then connect the cable to the computer. This allows me to use the reader once every few weeks and I'm glad I didn't spend more than that on a card reader or buy a new cable for the camera. I wondered if I would regret this purchase, but it turned out to be EXACTLY what I needed.
