I own 4 SanDisk CF and multicard USB 2.0 readers and none have ever had bent CF pins. Comparing this new USB 3.0 multi-reader with the old USB 2.0 SanDisk readers, one can see the difference right away. This new one has much shorter slot depth and the fitting is quite loose so the CF card has a tendency to wobble and causes bent pins. The CF slot depth is about 1" with previous SanDisk card readers and only 1/2" on this one. No wonder the CF card can jam the pins so easy. This is a horrible design! I would never buy any CF card reader in the future without sufficient (~1") slot depth.
I am disappointed in the design of this SanDisk card reader. I bought this SanDisk reader because all 4 previous SanDisk CF or multicard readers have no bent pins ever with frequent use. I guess I have to look at the design of future purchases of SanDisk cards more carefully before keeping it.
I am going to contact SanDisk for a replacement. In the meantime, I ordered two replacement readers, Kingston's USB 3.0 Media Reader Computer Memory FCR-HS3 and PixelFlash USB 3.0 No-Bend Pins Compact Flash Memory Card Reader SuperSpeed CF Adapter . Both appear to have a deeper slot so the CF card should position itself correctly.
Not only the card reader is broken with bent pins, it also corrupted the entire CF card. Luckily, the card is a Transcend 400X 32GB CF card, the free Transcend RecoveRx tool worked great and recovered all images. It appears SanDisk does not even offer such free tool and directs the user to another vendor's site to purchase it.
2/16/2013 Update:
Finally I got around calling Sandisk. Their customer service is handled overseas but friendly and competent. The only thing interesting was that they asked for a picture of the broken reader. I sent them 7. After they got pictures, they issued a RMA and a prepaid UPS shipping label to send the broken reader back. Once they receive the returned item, they will send a new one out.
2/25/2013 Update:
SanDisk sent a replacement and it arrived today. It's brand new one in a sealed retail box. I have to say the customer service is first rate with SanDisk.
Very carefully I inserted a CF card and it went in fine. To my surprise, the CF card only went in about 3/8" deep, not 1/2" deep as I thought initially. Second time when I inserted CF as slowly and carefully as I did the first time, the card did not go straight and stopped. I knew at that moment, the pins would be bent if I had used a bit more force. I pulled the card out and very carefully inserted again and it was fine. Based on this experience, I would not want to use the CF card slot again. I might sell it as many folks here have nothing but high praises for this card reader. I love all my previous SanDisk card readers but not this one!
SanDisk customer service 10/10
ImageMate All-in-One USB 3.0 Card Reader: 3/10
The overall build quality is reasonable, and is on par with the older 2.0 version. It comes with the same stand, which magnetically latches onto the base of the reader. A lot of people dislike the stand because you often have to take the reader off of the stand to put in a card or remove it. I personally am indifferent to it, and generally do not use it.
I have had this reader for about a month now and I have had no problems with it. It works perfectly on all my compact flash cards, SD cards, and micro SD cards. I have used old cards with less than 1 gig, to new cards with 64gb of memory (I have not tried it with a new 128gb card yet). Everything seems to work with the card reader, even when I have multiple cards plugged into the reader.
The card reader is hooked up to a Windows 7 computer with a USB 3.0 port. I have not tried it on a USB 2.0 port, nor have I tried it on my windows 8 laptop (the windows 8 laptop does not have a USB 3.0 port).
I have only two issues with this card reader. First is that it is white and I would have rather had a black one. The second issue is they moved the micro SD slot to the top of the reader. I wished they had left it near the other slots.
Overall, I think this is a reliable and fast reader. I highly recommend getting it if you want to have a reader that can move large amounts of data rapidly from multiple card types.
I have both a Windows 7 machine (new Dell desktop, i7 chip, 8 gig ram, USB 3 port) and a year old MacBook Air running OS X 10.7.4. It worked fine on both machines. No issues.
I tried older 1 and 4 gig cards and a new 16gig UDMA card. No problems with any of them. NOTE: I only have CF cards and they are SanDisk. I don't have any equipment that uses any other type of card (SD, etc.).
Nothing against the other manufacturers. But, for me, SanDisk has always worked and I've been lucky to never have a card fail on me (knock on wood). I'll be with a group of photographers next week and I'll try some of their non-SanDisk cards and see what happens. If there is a problem, I'll update my review.
I agree with the comments about the stand. It looks like the reader will come off the stand rather easily. I use velcro to attach my reader and portable drives to the underside of the shelf I use as a monitor stand. So, I won't be using the stand. It's still sitting in its little baggy.
There are quite a few comments about receiving a white card reader and dinging the rating for it. It looks like the USB 2.0 reader is black and the 3.0 is white. A little annoying I guess. But that doesn't impact the functionality of the reader. I'm very pleased with the reader so far and I would recommend it to others.
