BlueProton High Speed Compact Reader Writer Review

Bought for my wife to read CF cards on her new computer. The size of this reader is such that it was difficult to plug in without having to switch other USB connections.

My pins never really bent, I handled them very gently, but the whole plastic part that had the pins fell off. Completely…

I'm disappointed in this but I figured that's what I get when I buy something this cheap buy My new laptop doesn't have a CF card slot, but my camera still has it, so I've looked at it as an alternative to using a USB cable for my camera every time I wanted to upload photos.
