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.

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

I love this reader! Very fast transfers, non-slip bottom rubber, nice weight, and a replaceable cord if the one your using breaks or you need to use on an older USB port. Thanks!

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

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!

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.
