## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: uber good utility gizmo - Have my usb2.0 version of this since maybe 10yrs or more, bought a USB 3 version some years ago as RAW images took time to transfer. This one has been purchased as a gift for a friend. All these units since the first day I used have never ever let me down. They have read all cards I've thrown in, given me great speeds and stability. Never a data error problem or a connection problem. Cannot recommend enough especially in today's time where we use memory cards in so many daily gizmos of our lives. Always good to have one of these standby in the drawer Thank you Transcend !!! truly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item

As described

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable problem
*by M***S on 2 June 2026*

The actual item itself is ok and works with the cards I use. However, the cable that came with it did not fit, it had standard USB connectors but the box itself has a non-standard connection on the box. Luckily I had a cable with this fitting on another device otherwise it would have caused me serious problems.
