I had to download the driver to my Mac in order to use this product with a camera card that I use interchangeably with Mac on Windows. But now everything works fine. I bought another product that I previously returned because it reformatted my SD card when I first plugged it into my Mac. After this one suggested the same thing, I was careful not to make the same mistake reformatting the card, but was able to get a driver that would read the SD card for both operating systems. I think it's…

At the time of writing this article, you basically have a choice.

At the time of writing this, you can basically go with this one or spend double the amount on Sandisk. If you want UHS-II compatibility, built-in USB-C transfer speeds (no adapters needed), and a well-known brand for less than $25, this really is your only choice in April 2018. The only downside or downside is the way the cable comes out and is sort of a hinge. You'll have to use your fingernail to pry the USB-C out of the way it's held by the molded plastic. If it's then lost, it doesn't…

Pros
  • Glossy
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

Purchased for my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar for UHS-II SD card reader from my Sony Actions - Cameras and Fujifilm X-T20. It's the only one I could find that offers USB 3.1 speed, MBPw/TB's own Type-C connector, and UHS-II compatibility for less than $20. There are a few others that fit the speed and compatibility specs but cost well over $30, including SanDisk and Sony. You can use any cable with Lexar's solution, but that's another thing you have to buy. It delivers the speed you expect and…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Extremely compact USB 3.0 SD/MicroSD card reader with UHS-I speeds.

This rating applies to the USB 3.0 version of this product. This is a compact SD/MicroSD card reader equipped with a single LUN Genesys Logic GL3233 USB 3.0 card reader controller capable of speeds up to UHS-I. I'm pointing this out because the question answered by the manufacturer in the Q&A section of this product listing states that UHS-II speeds are supported without specifying that this is only for the USB-C version of this product. I'm sure this wasn't intended by Verbatim, but I was…

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Negative result available

The current best option for MacBook Pro

After much testing, buying and returning some others, this is the best option for MacBook Pro. I tried a pair of Sandisk but they ejected halfway and couldn't complete the transfer. This reader worked straight away and could transfer photos instantly, it was fast and easy to use. I don't need a micro SD but there aren't any better options and it's still smaller than others even without a micro SD. I put off buying this Verbatim because there were so many complaints about it not sitting in place

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
