Corrupt CF card every time I use it

I guess I have to keep using my super old slow CF card reader because it messed up the CF card when it was first installed. I put the CF card back in the camera, formatted it, took some photos, put it back in the reader and it all happened again. Tried a third time, same result. I even switched to a slower USB port, but it didn't matter. I then tried the same sequence with my super old CF card reader and had no problems. I don't know why this reader isn't working with my computer but it will be

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Stupid hardware

Nice, compact, durable card reader

I've had other card readers for many years but I really like this one. It seems easy to check, but it feels very solid, works seamlessly with my Windows 10 desktop and laptop, and is just the right size. I also love the fact that you can read micro SD cards without using a micro SD to SD converter card. Good value for money. IMHO a good product.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Zero

The cable is good and long.

I needed a longer cable because I needed to use the USB port on the back of my computer. The only negative is that the thing doesn't have a grippy surface. I have to hold it to insert the SD card. So I glued a small square of steering wheel tape to it.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Clarity

It's nice not having to mess with adapters

Two of my 3D printers use Micro SD cards and one uses Mini. I upload files to SD cards all the time and the adapters I had were too small to keep track of and difficult to use. It stands beautifully on my desk and is always ready to use. Also, the Safely Remove Hardware tool doesn't show up at all, so I can insert and remove cards without bothering. Good price and so far reliable product.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Great price

This card reader is robust and runs at high speed as advertised. My disappointment was that the main feature of this product that motivated me to buy it over others was the 3 inch cable. I planned on leaving it plugged into my PC's USB port, which is under my desk. I was expecting this to allow for easy insertion of my SD card without having to crawl under my desk to use my PC's built-in memory card reader. However, the instructions say to first connect the SD card to the Unitex and then…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Seniors

Lifesaver for my setup

So I have a new 2018 Mac Mini. But the way I set it up doesn't work. I have to get up and walk over to turn it on. As a photographer, I use the SD card slot on a Type-C hub. To make a long story short, I put double-sided tape right under the table next to me and routed the cable to the Mac Mini. Now I can just insert the card and it works fine. When I'm recording video, I keep plugging and unplugging the card, and every time my computer reads the card with no problem. i love it very much It…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • No paint needed

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…

Pros
  • Memory Card Accessory
Cons
  • Annoying

Excellent card reader for memory card readers

Excellent card reader. Although my computer has older USB 2.0 ports, this USB 3.0 reader transfers data faster than my old USB 2.0 memory card reader, which may be due to the old reader's design, but it's still a nice difference. The color of the power/transfer light is very pale blue and I prefer blue glowing lights for devices. The reader's USB cable is of the highest quality. The USB cable is firmly attached in the middle at the back of the device. I've never liked card readers that have USB

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • doubt

Nice looking drive but a few issues

The product seems solid as it has an aluminum body and inserting a CF card is very easy, but when connected to my computer it kinda feels like the other 2 drives on, SD and Micro SD is active and I get warnings that there is no media on those drives when I plug them in. I bought it to be able to take my CF card out of my Nikon D700 and read pictures while I put a new CF card in the camera. While I easily dismiss warnings, this can be a pain. I've also noticed that if for some reason the drive…

Pros
  • Memory card reader
Cons
  • Security
