Review on 🔌 High-Speed USB 3.0 XQD Card Reader: Compatible with Kingston Workflow Station, Mini Portable Aluminum External Case, Supports Android/Windows/Mac OS by Ryan Hampton

Surprised that there are no reviews for this great product. At $20 (September 2021), this reader is unique in that it comes with a detachable USB cable. Most of these cheap readers have hard cords that fail after being placed in a pocket a few times. I will not buy a reader that does not have a detachable and replaceable cable. Performance is good, probably because all of these under $50 readers use the same type of controllers/internals. I tested both the 128GB Indmem card and the 32GB Sony G-XQD card and both worked fine (on a MacBook Pro). The Indmem card loads slightly slower than the Sony card (hence the lower price of your card). but both work fine. Card insertion and ejection is great too, it has a spring loaded insertion mechanism similar to how an SD card is inserted into a camera. Many of the other $20 readers I've tested almost pierced the card with their crude mechanisms. Another bonus is that this reader works with the Kingston Workflow Station! The only drawback I have to mention is the reader's aluminum housing, which is not round at the edges and is very sharp-edged. I had to tape over the holes for the card and USB cable and sand down the sharp aluminum edges using a Dremel tool and sanding drum. Nice and smooth now. Believe me, it was worth it, I really like this reader, the spring mechanism is similar to my Nikon D4. Many of the other $20 readers I tested almost pierced the card with their crude mechanisms.

The only downside I should point out is the reader's aluminum body, which is unfinished on the edges and very sharp out of the box.
