Review on 🔌 High-Speed USB 3.0 XQD Card Reader: Compatible with Kingston Workflow Station, Mini Portable Aluminum External Case, Supports Android/Windows/Mac OS by Randolph Iglesias

Surprised that there are no reviews for this excellent product. At $20 (September 2021), this reader is unique in that it comes with a detachable USB cable. Most of these cheap readers have hard cords that fail after being placed in a pocket a few times. I will not buy a reader that does not have a detachable and replaceable cable. Performance is good, probably because all of these under $50 readers use the same type of controller/internals. I tested both the 128GB Indmem card and the 32GB Sony G-XQD card and both worked fine (on a MacBook Pro). The Indmem card loads a bit slower than the Sony card (hence your card's lower price), but both work fine. Additionally, card insertion and ejection is wonderful, it has a spring-loaded insertion mechanism, much like inserting an SD card into a camera. Many of the other $20 readers I've tested almost pierced the card with their crude mechanisms. Another bonus is that this reader works with the Kingston Workflow Station! The only drawback I have to mention is the reader's aluminum housing, which is not round at the edges and is very sharp-edged. I had to tape over the holes for the card and USB cable and sand down the sharp aluminum edges using a Dremel tool and sanding drum. Nice and smooth now. Believe me, it was worth it, I really like this reader, the spring mechanism is similar to my Nikon D4.
