Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced SanDisk ImageMate USB 3.0 All-In-One Reader/Writer SDDR-289-X20, in Stylish White by Jason Stokes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Avoid this when using a CF card

Good things first: USB 3 switches quickly. I have been using a Sony reader for many years and the transfer speed is much better. But. I can't believe anyone actually used this before getting it out of the factory. Attaches to the stand with magnets. Looks sexy and all except the stand has a tendency to fall off when the card is inserted. I could live with that, except I have a bent pin after less than 10 CF card insertions! I've gone through thousands of firmwares on my Sony with no problems. The problem is that the SanDisk is very small and doesn't have enough clearance to properly align the card with the pins. If anyone had actually used this before production they would have noticed the design flaw. Avoid this when using CF cards.
