Review: Fast and Reliable: A High-Quality Card Reader for Professionals - I recently purchased the SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader for SD and microSD cards, and it has been an exceptional addition to my toolkit. As someone who frequently transfers files from SD cards to my computer, I've found this card reader to be incredibly efficient and reliable. Performance: One of the most impressive aspects of this card reader is its speed. The data transfer is notably quick, making it a significant time-saver, especially when dealing with large files. It's consistently reliable, with no errors or issues during the transfer process. Build Quality and Design: SanDisk has done an excellent job in terms of build quality. The reader feels robust and well-constructed, giving a sense of durability that is essential for professional use. Its sleek design also adds a professional touch to my workspace. Overall Experience: Every time I've used this card reader, it has worked amazingly well. The ease of use and the efficiency it brings to my workflow is something I greatly appreciate. It has quickly become an indispensable tool for me. I would highly recommend the SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader to anyone who frequently works with SD and microSD cards. Whether you're a professional photographer, videographer, or just someone who values efficiency and reliability in data transfer, this product is definitely worth considering.
Review: The BEST SD/Micro SD card reader on the market IMO, and I've tried a bunch... - Worth every penny. Stays super cool because of the aluminum enclosure, has great transfer speeds, and I love that i can use the card slots simultaneously if I want to transfer content from one card to another. Typical SanDisk quality that will last me forever. Or until the onset of UHS-II cards starts being more practical. I also love how this looks just sitting under my All-In-One HP PC. Just a short USB C cable to connect it, so it stays uncongested and looks really neat and OCD. But I bought it for fast transfer speeds and the ability to keep my cards cooler during transfer. I feel like I got my money's worth and couldn't be ANY happier. This should last me for many, many years to come 🤞

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blazing fast...
*by W***J on June 15, 2025*

Usually card readers are like trasnparent devices... we use them b/c we ne need to copy stuff, we drag and drop and just leave them unattended until it finishes copying stuff.... well... that is b/c they are usually DAM* DOG SLOW... so, figured I'd give this Sandisk a shot... and sure enough... its blazing fast... Well.. not at first... So, make sure it is plugged to a true USB 3.0 port, and then check that the cable its also a true USB 3.0 cable, most cheapo A-to-C cables are NOT true 9-pin USB 3.0 cables, so performance will SUCK... as in < 30 MB/s ElSuck which is USB 2.0 trashland... Once you sort that, this thing will peg the USB 3.0 port to 500 MB/s burst on my NAS (an older Broadwell E5 Xeon with a C612 mobo...) but then it will quickly fall down to whatever the SD card can read... some cards will reach well over 200 mb/s sustained, others much less.. anyhow, so unless you have a very old card this thing will deliver. Again, MAKE SURE your cable is a TRUE USB-3.0 cable... especially when using A-C adapters or using cables that are A-to-C just make sure the device is operating at USB-3.0 speeds. This Sandisk also works on an older computer with Windows 7, not that many people care these days... but figured I'd share.
