Using this card reader, I was able to plug her Micro SD into my computer, and, with the card still in the reader, ran a data recovery program that rebuilt all her photos that weren't corrupted. Like I said, I don't use card readers very often any more, but this is one of those things that I feel like everyone should have in case of an emergency, like needing to download photos after a digital camera's computer cable is lost, or when you need to get files off an Android."
"I didn't have a way to view the video that was recorded from my drone and mini-camera and this worked perfectly to view on my desktop computer."
"Very nice card reader."
"There are some Windows 10 issues affecting a certain family of built-in laptop readers and this is the perfect workaround for getting things off the camera and into the computer."
"Great idea."
"This is great, My grandsons liked it so much I had to buy extras for them to take to camp so they could see the pictures from their game cameras on their phones."
"I bought this based off other good reviews, being as I wouldn't have normally picked it out myself because it seemed too cheap to be good."
"This is a small USB device that will accept both an SD card and a Micro SD card without an adapter."

"When I need to move a lot of data one way or the other, I turn my phone off, take out the memory card, and use this, since the card reader is USB 3.0. (Your card most likely supports faster speeds than this or the phone are capable of taking advantage of, but this card reader can read from/write to your card faster than your phone can.)."
"I liked that this card reader could be used for both the smaller micro sd cards and the normal sd cards that I use in my camera."
"It comes with 2 slots, one for the SD and one for the microSD, which you can stick into the side of the USB."
"The recessed in a hole, very tiny diameter connected/activity blue LED located close to the plug end, stays on steady until a read/write activity makes it flash off/on/off at 2x/second. With a 32 or 64GB SDXC card, this adapter and a USB3.0 capable motherboard you have a FAST, inexpensive, compact, reliable way to store important files locally, easily separated from your PC and/or transferred to another. I have 2 of these with 32GB SDXC cards (from Amazon) plugged into my desktop PC that is running Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 for 5+ hours/day, every day for months, using them in place of a USB portable HDD or SSD."
"I needed a quick and easy way to transfer images either to laptop or desktop computers and the Sabrent works perfectly."

"I have recently purchased the card reader from bone view and due to the end of our season, I have not been able to use it for the normal use of my cameras."
"Works as expected and easy to use."
"I can view and delete images from my gamecams very easily now and without a computer."
"I also like the fact that I have received a few emails from Outdoor Performance since taking delivery to make sure I was happy with it and that it was working to my expectations, they are willing to help you get it figured out if you have a problem."
"Product works great."
"This is an amazing product."
"But it is frustrating when it takes 5 minutes to get it connect."

"I purchased my first two Pelican 0915 SD Card cases back in November 2012 from Amazon and with my ever growing number of SD cards, I found myself purchasing another one just recently, in January 2014. Storing 12 SD cards in one case may seem like a bit much, but you don't really have to store 12 SD cards in the case. When I didn't have more than 12 cards, I would designate one side of the Pelican case for "Empty/Formatted Cards" and the other side would be designated for "Used Cards.""
"I bought the "ESUMIC Colorful Multi-Purpose PU Spring Keychains Clasp Flexible Coiled Tether Lanyard Stretchy Cable Cord" package and attached one of those to it, where I'll clip it to something like a camera bag, helmet bag, etc."
"I have been using a Pelican SD card case for years. The new case is great, except the plastic seems a little cheaper than my original case."
"Such a brilliant case for your SD cards."
"It has a grey closed cell foam insert liner that's designed to absorb shock and protect the memory cards, and it has a sturdy water-resistant polycarbonate housing with a water resistant seal. Not noted on the product page, Pelican offers a lifetime guarantee on these, and they are a good way to protect your investment in memory cards."
"The foam holds Micro-, Mini-, and standard SD cards securely, contrary to what I'd been led to believe by other reviews."

"I bought this after one of my cheaper card readers had failed on me- assuming it was because I began to use larger CF cards (32 GB) and it was just unable to read that kind of size, and when it did, it would create glitches on my images."
"My desktop computer has no card reader."
"My compact flash card will transfer to my computer and then over ethernet at 650Mb/s."
"finally able to take pics again and send them by email with this tool."
"New laptop with no optical drive or card reader."
"I like that this unit isn't bulky and not super about branding so it doesn't ruin my set up."
"Works great and very fast."
