Review on ORICO USB 3.0 Hub with 3-in-1 Desk Mount Clamp: SD Card Reader, 5Gbps Speed, Multi-Port Adapter, 2-Port USB Splitter for Laptop, PC, Camera, Keyboard, and More - Sleek Silver Design by Joe Kokenge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The SD card slot is very narrow

As others have reported, the SD card is very scarce. If I force the card in, there's a good chance I can break and destroy the card. I have a well-formed replacement microSD adapter and you can see the deep scratch after trying to get it in and out. I decided to take it apart to examine it. It turns out that the metal socket on the board is too tight. I widened it with a chisel and also widened the body hole with a file. After the mod I could just pop in and remove any SD card and it still works but I didn't have to work that hard to get it working. (Of course, you risk damaging the device if you decide to try this.) The aluminum body is otherwise of good quality, and I like the clip design.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • There are new competitors
