Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Transcend USB 3.1 Gen1 Card Reader, TS-RDF5W (White) - High Speed SDHC/microSDXC Card Reader by Ryan Lindstrom

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I use SD card for Raspberry Pis

This is my second one. My first one must have lasted a few years. The design has changed a bit over the years, but it's still the same basic element. I have to flash the operating system for Raspberry Pis to SD cards quite often. If you've ever done this, you know card readers are pretty lucky as they can flash it and then read the boot partition. Some can and some can't. This card reader can at any time. Not only that, I've been able to do this successfully over 100 times in the last year if I don't count how many times I've used the card for other purposes. If you want a reliable workhorse, get one. Others may be cheaper but they won't be better and can be worse.

Pros
  • New in my collection
Cons
  • There are problems
