Rocketek is a good brand you can trust

I bought them twice in 2018 I have three of them because they fit me perfectly. One failed after 6 months but I waited until December to try and get a replacement. Rocketek responded quickly and a replacement came within days with no questions asked (another company I had a warranty issue with is not Rocketek - it took 3 months to respond to my warranty request from August 2018 to December, and half their email was in Chinese ). This adapter is lightning fast, gets a little warm but never hotโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Angry

I can confirm it's going to be hot!

This is a small device that I carry in my laptop bag. I use it every now and then and enjoy it. USB 3.0 to Micro SD transfer speeds are as expected. Did some tests with 200GB data transfer on Samsung Micro SD 256GB. I can tell you two things. 1. Typical transfer rates sometimes dropped to 300 KB/s and reached 212 MB/s. With average values around 90mb/s. (200GB transfer time took about 35-45 minutes, at least on my computer).2. When he was done, the thing felt hot. I would recommend not using it

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Some Trouble

Fastest reader I've found, I carry it everywhere

This reader isn't perfect, but it's really fast. Pros: * Current USB 3.0 (I have a dozen readers that happen to be 2.0) * Fastest reader I've found (with the right media) * Affordable! Cons: *Hilariously hot* Sometimes it's hard to remove the media, but I've always managed. There are a few negative reviews about this product but they are in the minority. It's terribly cheap so I think there might be some quality issues, but I have 4 now and haven't had any issues. Since the quality of microSDโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Plug socket required

Reliable product!: Computer accessories and peripherals

The card reader has worked well so far and I haven't had any problems with it (5 months later when I wrote this review). Its size is really good to take with you everywhere. It's a little over a quarter. However, if you're interested in carrying it on a keychain, the answer is no. No hole or key ring to attach it to your keychain. I didn't care as I was thinking of taking it apart to use in a project I wanted to do one day. So keep that in mind if you've been looking for some kind of keychainโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Large and bulky

My son and I used this to copy boot files for a new Raspberry Pi to a brand new SanDisk 64GB Extreme microSDXC card using my MacBook Pro. After copying the files, I left the microSDXC in the Rocketek reader connected to my Mac and went to bed. The next morning, the SanDisk microSDXC disappeared from the desktop (no longer mounted in macOS Finder) and was HOT. I was concerned that the microSDXC card was dead, but after letting it cool down, I removed the microSDXC from the reader and plugged itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • So far so good

Rocketek Burns HOT

Background: I have a 2017 Mac Air and prefer it over the newer Macbook Pro range because of the USB. I also like to use Micro SD (MSD) cards as poor people's partition storage system, which is why I have MSD partitioned files. I carry my cards in a very handy credit card sized "DimeCard Micro 8โ€ case. My SD slot has a 256GB MSD, which doubles the storage capacity of my Mac Air. Review: I have a USB 2.0 to USB MSD that's about the same size as a wireless mouse dongle, so it's quite small, but it

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Security

Handy device but not durable

This is a really good device. This is a memory card reader that works just as easily as a USB stick and looks just like it. I am very tired of USB sticks. My experience is that they are becoming increasingly unreliable. I was so fed up with using such bad drives that I decided to look for one that is known for its reliability. While searching, I found someone who recommended something like this device - a micro SD memory card reader with a USB interface. I now use this device instead of any USB

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Protection
