Review on πŸ’» Sabrent 74-in-1 Internal Flash Media Card Reader/Writer: Ultra-Fast USB Port Included (CR-USNT) by Kevin Singleton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very pleased if a bit bright

I bought this to add a memory card reader to an older 2007 desktop model which is still a workhorse with a few minor updates. The traditional motherboard connector that connects most USB 2.0 devices on DDR2 motherboards is well built and reliable. The card reader slots work well (the microSD and SD card slots and the USB 2.0 slot have been tested. The case is also well made. The only thing I don't like about this product is the blue LED light. It is "always on"." When the computer is on and in low light it can be very annoying when trying to play a game or watch a video on your computer screen. However, my desktop is about a foot and a half to the right by me and 3 1/2" The bay it's in is recessed by one of those 5 1/4 compartments of a sliding door that I can close when I'm not using it, so it's not that big of a deal, that I might consider buying the same type of case, but with a USB 3.0 port on it with a 19-pin connector to upscale the USB port's transfer speed, simply because I transfer large files quite often.. Overall , except for the bright blue LED, this is a great addition for anyone who just wants to be able to insert a microSD card from their mobile device to back up photos or ripped audio CDs from your desktop to a microSD card for playback on your phone transfer phone. I might not get a USB because I could wait a few extra minutes for the data transfer, but my ripped MP3 Audio CD library is approaching 15GB, so yes, I can get a USB 3.0 card reader for that simple reason. port and one of those PCIe USB 3.0 cards that has a 19 pin connector because my motherboard doesn't have one. Great product but the LED light could be a bit dimmer. It's good that it matches the blue lighting on my desktop tower - I would find it odd with the red LED on the card reader and the blue lighting on the original tower. Although I might be a bit of an anal in all this color matching nonsense.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Hard to say
