Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced SanDisk ImageMate USB 3.0 Flash Memory Card Reader (Model: SDDR289A20) by Tyler Spencer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very difficult to use without bending the pins

I love the look of this card reader as it looks elegant on my desk but to be honest it doesn't look good anymore. As is common with CF card readers, it is extremely difficult to insert a CF card into the slot without bending the pins. Now I have to keep a mini screwdriver on the table so I can bend the contacts so as not to damage the reader or card. It scares me a little every time I upload. Another issue is the magnetic stand - it holds the reader at a convenient angle, but isn't strong enough to do so securely. Every time I run my hand across the table it falls off. I'm already considering replacing it with a Lexar Workflow slot system card reader.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Approximately
