Lexar Multi-Card 3-in-1 SD/Micro SD/CF Card Reader, Up to 312MB/s, USB 3.1

I have an older Nikon D800 which takes high speed Compact Flash and SD cards. My previous card readers were the previous Lexar reader which was USB2.0 and had a terrible plasticky body. After 6 years of use, it has stopped working altogether. But 6 years of real-world use is actually really good. Therefore, another Lexar Pro reader made sense to get. To my surprise, this isn't just a replacement. It's a big upgrade. The triangular design looks good on my desk and it's easy to just face the card type I am using. CF on one side and SD on the next. Transfer speeds are really good and I was pleasantly surprised to see USB-C on the actual device. It comes with a USB SS cable (super speeds for USB 3), but having a USB-C interface is a logical next step to have. These cards can't got to Thunderbolt transfers so SS is appropriate. In other words, the limiting speed factor is the card's read/write speeds. In a BlackMagic Disk speed, I got about 82MB/s in a CF card that is rated at 90MB/s, and about 255MB/s (read) on a SD card rated at 300MB/s. That's quite impressive. Finally, the value for money is a no-brainer. 6 years ago, I would have had to spend at least $100 for a SanDisk equivalent (made with a robust metal enclosure). At almost a fifth of that price, if I knew about this product sooner, I would have purchased it already. Thus far very pleased. I did see a review reporting issues with bent pins. That can happen with any card reader if the CF cards are inserted without any care. My gear is getting pretty old, but I still get amazing performance from them. That's largely because I treat my gear with care and respect and, in exchange, expect the best performance. I hope to have this card reader for many years to come.

Plug and play--worked flawlessly right out of the box.

fast , durable, and just works

This kit is VERY tough. It's not meant for travel, but that means that I can keep my thumb-sized reader in my backpack and leave this plugged into my workstation at home. Having SD, Micro, and CF is the perfect combination as I can sync the memory cards from my full-frame DSLR, Hybrid SLR, and drone using the same device. It's nice and heavy so I'm not worried about knocking it off the desk or misplacing it. The USB 3 speeds are very quick and the chassis doesn't seem to get as warm as my previous adapter. It can be hard to find a combo reader these days that supports CF, so it was nice to find something that wasn't just a cheap CF-to-USB 2.0 adapter.

This works great. No problems at all with this. Very easy to use. Nice size. Compatable with every memory device I have. used. I feel Lexar is the best!

Works so much better and faster than the hundreds of cheaper readers I've bought in the past

Excellent quality. Sturdy and fast. This one will last for a while.

Solid build quality and feels well made right out of the box. The housing is sturdy and it doesn’t feel flimsy like some cheaper readers. Transfer speeds are fast and consistent, especially with SD and microSD cards. It handles moving large photo and video files without slowing down or dropping connection. Simple plug-and-play setup with no issues on different devices. Overall, a reliable card reader that gets the job done quickly.

Mi aspettavo di più da un prodotto professionale. Si e'storto un dentino del ingresso per il Compact flash e non si puo'piu inserire .Lo usavo di rado. Il prezzo elevato e adesso dopo cambio marca e prendo un prodotto a un costo inferiore

TLDR: 3.1 Lexar Card reader provides very few improvements on the old 3.0 Card reader. Not returning it only as insurance for when the Micro B connector of the old Lexar 3.0 card reader dies. LIKES: 1. Lower price than what I remember paying for the old 3.0 card reader in 2012. 2. Seemingly more solid build; matte finish of the 3.1 reader seems more durable than the glossy finish of the 3.0 reader that was a scratch and fingerprint magnet 3. 3.1 reader handles Micro-SD without an adapter; old 3.0 reader only took CF and SD 4. Still faster than generic card readers. DISLIKES: 1. Same/slower speed as a ten year old Lexar 3.0 card reader 2. Occupies more desk space than the old 3.0 reader due to larger size and diagonal orientation of card slots 3. Not future-proof at all - no CF-Express, USB 3.2, Thunderbolt, etc. / practically the same product as the one released 10 years ago with a micro-SD slot.
