Acuvar High Speed USB Memory Card Reader – All-in-One SD, Micro SD, Memory Stick, CF & XD Picture Card Reader for PC & Laptop

Purchased because i had so many adapters for each type and this allowed me to keep by my computer and never have to search for the right adapter.Works so well and compatible to many cards.Nice compact size and not bulky at all . great design build and and very durable product

This is a basic memory card reader. . .but it works. I had some old Sony Pro memory sticks that I was not sure still had anything on them so I purchased this memory card reader.It works great and my iMac reads this quickly. My SD card reader on my iMac sometimes will not read and I have to restart it for it to work. NOT with this reader.It's not fast but I'm not down loading a lot dats. I do mostly photography and use 32gb cards. Only thing different is it uses an older plug adapter to the reader and usb to the computer. It is replaceable. It's a standard plug but a USB to USB C would have been perfect. Everyone has extras of those.So just never take that cord of the reader. It is great that it does come off because it makes for easy storage. This is a great item to take everywhere.

Works fine.

1. I got this yesterday, set it up, and it works great so far. I am using it to write to a Type II Compact Flash disk, on a 64 bit Windows 10 laptop.2. In general, this type of products seems to be problem ridden--the pins of the reader bend easily; the product stops working after a few times; the product is so wide that it blocks multiple USB ports. This reader is NOT wide, so it does NOT block other USB ports. Only time will tell whether the pins will bend easily or whether the product will stop working. Off the top of my head, I don't remember what the warranty (if any) is.3. About 2 weeks ago, two of my writers quit working. I did some research and found this writer. I am glad I bought this.

Bought this to read a single Sony Memory Stick I had laying around with the belief it might have some photos of importance on it. Plugged in the Memory Stick as soon as I got this adapter, and no drives showed up in Windows Explorer. As far as I could tell, no drivers had been installed either. So, I plug it into a different USB port with the same result. I went back to this Amazon page to see if others had the same issue, and someone mentioned it not supporting USB 3.0, so I thought "oh, maybe they mean it won't work with USB 3.0 ports period".I got out my laptop knowing it's got a USB 2.0 port, and still nothing. Curious, I took the Mini USB cable (yeah, remember those from 10 years ago?) out from the adapter and plugged it back in with a bit of force. This time, a removable drive showed up, but it was empty. I plugged in an SD card into the SD slot on the adapter and lo and behold, it read my SD card fine, but my Sony MS still didn't show up. I replug the adapter back into the laptop, and now the SD drive is gone from Windows Explorer. Turns out, to get it to work *just* as an SD reader, you have to fiddle with it over and over again. No thanks? I've already got an SD reader on my desktop fan controller anyway, and I wanted to use this to read my Sony MS.Well, guess what? I went into device manager on my desktop with the adapter plugged in to see if I could force a driver installation or update. I saw 'Generic USB MS Reader USB Device', and then I realised: my Kingwin FPX-003 fan controller might have MS support, and I just didn't even consider it. I shine a flashlight into its SD slot, and there I see an MS connector on the flipside of the SD connector, just on the other side. I plug in the MS, and what do I find? Age old photos of me and family? Nope. It was a memory stick for a Sony CLIÉ PDA. I got a single sample mp3 that took up 1 out of the 8 MB of space, and files I can't open because it requires software only on Palm OS.Pros:-NoneCons:-MS slot doesn't work at all-SD slot only works if you keep screwing with it (ie, not worth the waste of time)- Uses Mini USB port as its sole connection in 2019; really? I completely understand Micro USB as that's the most common connector and USB C is generally not worth it, but MINI USB?- The included Mini USB cable is only 12.5 cm long, which I imagine renders it useless for many people.This is being returned as soon as possible.

Perfect little memory card reader. No problem linking to my computer.

The Acuvar USB Memory Card Reader is an excellent tool for anyone needing to transfer files across various memory card formats. It supports a wide range of cards, including SD, Micro SD, CF, and more. It’s plug and play, meaning it works instantly on both Apple and Windows devices. The transfer speed is impressive, and it’s very compact and portable. Great for photographers or anyone who frequently needs to read or write multiple types of memory cards.

You have to find the sweet spot on this thing. It takes like 5 minutes to get the pop up to come up on the phone.
