Makes my fastest cards run 50% faster - even from an USB 2.0 port

May 7, 2013

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have been using several USB 2.0 card readers in the past, including the Transcend M5 Multi-Card Reader and Sandisk Mobilemate SD Plus Memory Card Reader. With memory cards getting faster over the years, I started to get the feeling that my old card readers are limiting the Read/Write speed of my newer memory cards. That's why I purchased this Transcend Information USB 3.0 Card Reader (TS-RDF5K) just to try it out, even through all my computers only have USB 2.0 ports.

Upon arrival of the RDF5, I benchmarked over one dozen of my SDHC and microSDHC memory cards, with speed rating from class-4 to class-10 and UHS-1. The program I used is called "CrystalDiskMark v3.01 x64". It reports, among other things, sequential READ and WRITE speed of memory cards. To my surprise, several of my fastest cards showed about 50% improvement in Read/Write speed compared to when using the old M5 card reader.

As an example: for the HP CG790A-AZ 32 GB Flash Memory Card Class 10 SDHC I was previously getting 19.6MB/s in Write and 20.1MB/s in Read. But when used with the RDF5, its throughput jumped 50% to 29.7 and 34.8MB/s, respectively. The Transcend 32 GB Class 10 UHS Flash Memory Card TS32GSDHC10U1E also shows nearly identical improvement.

The above proves that using old card reader was the bottleneck for my fastest cards. On the other hand, improvements for my slower cards were less noticeable, typically around 5% or less. That include Kingston class-4 SD10G2/16GB,Transcend Class 6 TS16GSDHC6E, etc. See the summary of benchmark results I uploaded to 'Customer Images' section for details.

The only negative about this RDF5 card reader is that: it does not allow simultaneous usage of both SDHC and microSDHC slots. That is, you can only insert one card at a time, but never both.

Conclusion:
I am very happy with the dramatic improvement I can achieve with this card reader, even when it is connected to an USB 2.0 port. Once I upgrade to a new computer with USB 3.0 ports, I expect the benchmark results to be even better - at least for my fastest cards. In the mean time, I consider this card reader the cheapest computer upgrade I can recommend.

[Update on Dec 26, 2013]
I finally have a computer with USB 3.0 port, so I re-tested ~10 memory cards to see the difference.
- For any card marketed as 'UHS-1', I observed huge improvements in both Read and Write speeds.
- For any card marketed as 'class 10' but not UHS, I may see some increase in Read, but very little difference in Wrire.

Bottom Line: If you have an UHS-1 card, make sure to use the RDF5 card reader in conjunction with USB 3.0 port, in order to get the full benefit.

Must have tool in your mobile arsenal

March 10, 2014

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to transfer data from a 64GB SanDisk micro SD card to a 64GB Transcend micro SD card newly installed in my BlackBerry Z30. I paired it with a StarTech USB to USB OTG host adapter. This sucker is F*A*S*T. It quickly transfered over 26GB of music, 4 GB of photos and a bunch of other stuff. The phone immediately sees the USB connection and the SD data is accessible via file manager. I then popped my camera's SD card in to copy the photos I took of the setup over to the phone (uploaded for this review). Needless to say it worked great on a PC too.

Tiny Powerhouse should be its name.

Effective and affordable USC 3.0 card reader!

April 30, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

The Transcend RDF5K memory card reader is available in black or white and supports SDHC UHS-I, SDXC UHS-I, UDMA6/UDMA7 CF and MSXC memory card formats.
Transcend RDF8 Memory Card Features:

Super-Speed USB 3.0 interface (also compatible with USB 2.0)
Supports SDHC UHS-I, SDXC UHS-I, UDMA6/UDMA7 CF and MSXC cards
Transfer high-resolution images and video recordings to your computer faster and more efficiently
Utilize the full speed potential of your memory cards
USB powered (no external power or battery needed)
Blue LED indicator light for card insertion & data transfer activity
Supports SD & CF built-in security functions

The body of the Transcend RDF8 USB 3.0 card reader is made from plastic and the top of the device has a glossy finish. This does show finger prints, but the easily wipe off with a cloth. The front of the reader features the CompactFlash, microSD and SD memory card slots. Being able to read a microSD card without an adapter is nice! The reader supports UHS-I SD cards and UDMA 7 CF cards.

The backside of the Transcend RD8F features the MS PRO/XC/MS DUO slot along with the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data and power header.

The bottom of the Transcend RDF5K shows the model number, serial number, date of manufacture and the usual conformity markings that are required for various regions.

To get the Transcend RDF5k USB 3.0 memory card reader installed on your PC you just need to hook up the USB 3.0 cable between your PC and the reader and you should be good to go. The reader is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but you’ll want to utilize a USB 3.0 port to get the most performance possible!

Works very good! 100% recommended!

This product is crap. While it claims to be USB 3.0, it transfers at a maximum of 60MB/sec WHICH IS THE SAME AS USB 2.0 SPEED (480Mb/sec)!
