Same I bought one 3 days ago but didn't post it.
These things are great. Got a couple and they have never missed a beat.
+1 Had mine for over a year. Most reliable card reader I've owned. The single piece machined stainless steal constructions means its virtually indestructible.

Ahh, now I understand what is so good about them.
Plus it's UHS-I and UHS-II compatible.
thanks. got one. been looking for one of these for a whlle and this looks good. will be helpful as there are quite a few laptops these days that are no longer having a full size sd card which is not good as most cameras that full size sd cards.
Does USB3 make much difference for card readers - worth upgrading from USB2 ones? Would think the limiting factor is the card speed…
Depends how fast your flash memory is…..but even on an average class 10 card, you'll see a noticeable difference in read speed.
Plugging this reader into a usb2.0 port will deliver read speeds of around 25MB/s (about a real world Max for USB2.0) whereas in a USB 3.0 port read speeds will be closer to 45MB/s.
A higher performance card will yield even greater speed. Some quote 95MB/s and above. I haven't tested these.
Unless you're really impatient then probably not, on the other hand if you've spent the money on fast cards then a little extra for a faster reader makes sense.
I got sick of my $1 Chinese ones breaking and borrowing (stealing) my brothers, it really was about time to buy one that would last.
The adaptor is so good! Really fast read speed and good pairing with highspeed card. Better than Lexar by numbers.
Bought one of these myself earlier today…should have posted it as a deal, I guess!
