A good addition to a DSLR Shooters bag transfers files fast. ill start with the pros first. Note: Update the Frimware first. It was very easy just download the firmware update tool from Transcend Website and Run the tool whilst the reader is connected to a USB port of your computer. + Transfers files fast I am using Lexar Professional 32 GB 400x and it didn't disappoint interms of speed. Got 60 MB/sec Read and 34 MB/Sec Write. Also attached Atto and Crystaldiskmark Pics. + Supports a great variety of cards. + Does not obstruct other ports (Separate USB 3.0 cable which I can also use with my other USB 3.0 devices such as my WD Passport drive). + Seems durable. + Price was right. For me its not a con but for some it could be a bit bigger.

Dieser Kartenleser begleitet mich jetzt schon sehr lange zu meinen Fotoworkshops und wird auch zu Hause an mehreren Rechnern eingesetzt. Bisher gab es keine Ausfälle oder Probleme damit und es konnte noch jede Speicherkarte gelesen werden, auch die sehr großen SD-Karten. Interessant ist, dass dieser Leser auch an USB-2 sehr flott ist, verglichen mit anderen USB-2 Kartenlesern die ich vorher hatte. Workshopteilnehmer, die mir beim Bildereinlesen über die Schulter schauten, meinten ein paar mal, dass ich wohl schon einen Mac mit USB-3-Ports hätte?! Das musste ich verneinen. Mein MacBookPro ist aus dem Jahre 2009 und hat nur USB-2 :) Dieser Leser nutzt die USB-2 Bandbreite aber wirklich - vorausgesetzt, die Karte selbst ist nicht zu langsam.

Works very well. I'm glad I chose this one. It has roughly doubled the speed of my cards compared with my computer's internal reader so for £10 this was a no brainer. Read speeds are about 150% (2.5x) quicker, Write speeds are about 50-60% quicker from testing the various SD and MicroSD cards that I have via USB 3.0. The faster the card, the more noticeable the difference. The really slow cards do not Write any faster than the internal reader, but the Reading is always significantly faster. It's made of plastic and very lightweight so time will tell how long it lasts but I'm quite careful with my stuff and have secured it with some sticky pads so it shouldn't get damaged. It's very compact and looks smart. The blue LED stays on all the time and flashes when the cards are in use. You can use multiple cards at the same time apart from SD and MicroSD where you can only use one (or other) at a time. Includes free file recovery software download as well - nice bonus! Not much more to say other than it does the job very well. If you're a professional you may want something even faster and more heavy duty but I think for the average home user this is all you need. I'll look out for the Transcend brand in future.

Questo lettore di memoria è davvero molto veloce e non dà alcun segno di malfunzionamento. Con una CF Sandisk da 8 GB che dichiara 60 MB/s ottengo praticamente tutti i 60 MB/s in lettura dalla memoria e 35 MB/s in scrittura. Notare che 60 MB/s è la velocità massima teorica della USB 2, ma sappiamo che in realtà è molto difficile arrivarci con un lettore USB 2. La misura è stata ottenuta copiando un file da 2.6 GB dal PC alla memoria e viceversa, espellendo la memoria dopo la scrittura, questo sia per verificare che avesse scritto realmente tutto, sia per impedire al sistema operativo di usare la RAM come cache per la successiva lettura. Ho provato anche ad importare le foto da una SD e l'importazione è stata velocissima, non l'ho misurata col cronometro ma era sicuramente molto vicina, se non uguale, al dato di targa della memoria. Insomma è molto più veloce dei lettori USB 2.0 che ho avuto finora e non dà alcun problema di interruzioni o altro (che invece con gli altri lettori ogni tanto avevo). La qualità della plastica è molto buona, il cavo è lungo 40 cm circa e grosso circa 5 mm, un ottimo Copartner AWM 20276 VW-1. Secondo me poi il connettore USB3 è più affidabile e longevo del mini USB tipico delle precedenti schede USB 2. In definitiva un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Ci sono lettori che costano meno, questo però sembra fatto per funzionare bene e per durare relativamente tanto.

Habiendo tantísimas opciones en lectores de tarjetas... más baratos y más caros. ¿Por qué elegir este? En primer lugar por fiabilidad. En general Transcend ofrece productos de muy buena calidad y con precio razonable. En mi experiencia personal he tenido desde hace años tarjetas CF, tarjetas SD, memorias RAM y Pendrives de la marca taiwanesa y nunca me han fallado. He trabajado en estudios fotográficos donde predominaban Sandisk y Lexar... y basándome en mi experiencia diría que Transcend es tan fiable como Sandisk y más que Lexar o Kingston. En segundo lugar, porque está bien terminado. Claramente mejor que los lectores baratos. Es de plástico de buena calidad. Sólido y resistente. Unicamente susceptible a rayarse. Lo puedes llevar en la bolsa del portatil o del equipo fotográfico sabiendo que no se romperá a la primera de cambio. En tercer lugar, porque es un lector rápido. Puede que no el que más (los lectores profesionales de Lexar suelen ganar en eso), pero su velocidad es acorde a lo exigible a dispositivos USB 3.0. También los hay más baratos igual de rápidos... pero también los hay que prometen serlo y en realidad no lo son... no quiero experimentos... lo que nos lleva de nuevo al punto 1, fiabilidad: he visto algún lector de tarjetas barato provocar corrupción de datos, nadie quiere eso. Sigue habiendo muchas opciones buenas... pero tengo claro que esta es una de ellas.
