Review on Kingston Digital FCR-ML3C MobileLite Duo 3C: USB 3.1 + Type C MicroSD Card Reader by Dre Fishburne

The first two photos show this product, the next two show a Nekteck equivalent (also bought here from Revain) with first a USB-A connector and then a USB-C connector and a microSDXC memory card in the Samsung EVO Select 512 GB was used in all four tests. There isn't much of a difference, except maybe in the third figure where the Nekteck shows a slightly faster sequential write speed. Incidentally, my top two memory card readers scored low 90s and high 70s in sequential read/write tests using the same ports but with a Samsung EVO Select 256GB memory card. Also, this item gets noticeably hotter than the Nekteck, so I'm concerned that the extra heat could potentially fry the memory card or damage the connectors. Granted, the difference in temperature 'measured' by my cheap, compact, non-contact infrared thermometer (calibrated roughly to my skin temperature) is small, 5-15*F or 85*F versus 90*F-100*F Not very good for this relatively short test, but any sustained writes will certainly generate more variance as the Nekteck has better heat dissipation properties than this element. Although it is beautifully built. The Nekteck feels "cheap" in comparison. But I'm sticking with Nekteck.
