Inconsistent connection when plugged into a USB port on my PC.

This product was purchased on October 28, 2018. I use it to transfer files from my PC to my 3D printer. I used it for a bit for a month and the USB connects intermittently no matter which USB socket is in use and no matter what SD card is inserted. The card reader feels flimsy when held with fingers on the large, flat sides of the case when plugged into a PC's USB port. I have to remove the USB stick and reinsert it 1-3 times to connect. Judging by the reviews, I got an inferior device. I would

Pros

Disappointed, now annoyed

I bought this unit on July 5, 2018. Finally, a few weeks ago I needed it but it is NOT showing up on my system! in many ways and even updated the firmware from the Transcend site, but nothing works.

I bought it to transfer data to and from micro SDXC cards via USB 3.0 and it does it amazingly and fast. I moved 16GB from a 32GB card in just a few minutes (literally a few minutes, no more than twenty) on

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for older people

Fast USB 3.0 Card Reader

Overall great adapter. I haven't used Transcend products before but I know them to be a good company for storage products like RAM. Not much to say about the build quality here as it looks like somewhat flimsy plastic, but with proper care this shouldn't be an issue. I haven't specifically tested the speed of this device, but it transfers data from my camera noticeably faster. memory cards as an equivalent USB 2 adapter. At this point, you really shouldn't buy any USB 2.0 products with the…
