Review on High-Speed Transcend TS-RDF5K USB 3.1 Card Reader for SDHC/SDXC/microSDHC/SDXC Cards - Black by Antoine Cash

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Dangerously hot, corruption

Used this Transcend SD card reader intermittently for several years. I noticed that my SD cards were generating errors, and when I finally got around to running some tests, I noticed how dangerously hot the adapter was. I always thought the cards were the problem until I replaced them with a Satechi USB-C UHS. - II readers. the difference was day and night. Previously "bad" cards have been tested well, and in intense testing have been able to work for more than 5 hours without even feeling warm. It's now too old to be refunded, so it goes in the trash before it does any real damage and possibly a fire. . Avoid at all costs.

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • sad hardware
