Unitek USB Card Reader 3-Slot USB 3.0 Compact Flash Card Reader

Unitek USB Card Reader 3-Slot USB 3.0 Compact Flash Card Reader Seems well assembled, long enough cable (reaches behind computer) but a bit stiff , reads high-speed cards fairly quickly, up to 40MB/s on an old SD card compared to 18MB/s on a USB2 reader. Faster cards mean faster reading and writing. I haven't tested the speed on a faster card yet. I think some reviewers expect older slow cards to be read faster, hence the poor ratings. One silly feature I noticed is that win 10 doesn't refresh the window after saving or transferring, you have to save focus and then press drive again. Not against the contract, but a little cumbersome. My USB2 reader updates the window immediately after saving or transferring. Otherwise it seems like a great product. As for durability, time will tell.

Pros
  • Memory Card Accessory
Cons
  • Annoying
