5.0 out of 5 starsMakes my fastest cards run 50% faster - even from an USB 2.0 port
By NLee the Engineer HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER on May 7, 2013
Color: Black Verified 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 ...Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsCheapest, best USB 3.0 Reader Available
By Rachel on August 11, 2013
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I did a good bit of research on USB 3.0 readers before purchasing this one and found many of the reviews for other units to be hit or miss. This reader from Transcend scores mostly 4 and 5 stars and I can see why. This thing just works, and works with blazing FAST USB 3.0 speeds.

The size of the adapter is good, it is wider than most USB sticks, but on my computer chassis with 2 USB 3.0 ports right next to each other, I can still use the adjacent port to charge a device or connect an external drive with a standard USB plug. Clean aesthetics, piano black glossy finish with a blue activity LED that is faint enough so that it does not bother.

The main reason I got this drive was because I wanted to test some high-capacity Class10/UHS-I microSD cards I had recently bought since these are known to be counterfeit targets. I only had an older generic USB 2.0 adapter that was capping out at 30MB/s Read and 10MB/s Write, and the devices themselves were not much better over USB 2.0. I also needed the reader to transfer video files from my head-mounted action camera as the transfer speeds over USB 2.0 are excruciatingly slow.

I was ecstatic to see the following transfer speeds with the following microSDs:

***USB3.0 Port*** (Intel Z87 chipset)
Samsung Pro Class10/UHS-I microSDXC 64GB: 77MB/s Read | 32MB/s Write
Samsung Plus Class10/UHS-I microSDHC 32GB: 77MB/s Read | 32MB/s Write

5.0 out of 5 starsMust have tool in your mobile arsenal
By Silvana D. on March 10, 2014
Color: Black Verified 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding USB 3.0 SD (and MicroSD) reader!
By Wanderer on December 20, 2012
Color: Black
I was looking for something to replace my aging (maybe I should say antiquated, at this point) card reader, but had been pretty disappointed to find that most of them were just too big to fit into the travel case I use for the old one (along with other USB accessories and flash drives). Fortunately I stumbled onto this one and it fits the bill perfectly!

I wanted USB 3.0 to be able to take advantage of the better speed on some of the higher end SD cards (although, admittedly, it is probably overkill on the majority of whats in the market today and somewhat unnecessary). I also wanted something that could handle all the latest standards, HC, XC, UHS-1 and, again, this unit does all the above, and then some. Combine that with its small form factor and the sleek looks (it's much shinier and smooth than the pics make it out to be), and I was sold. Also, because I know it's a sticking point for some, let me be clear that the cap fits very snug on this unit and isn't likely to get lost or fall off. Another plus!

I have to say, for the price, I think this is an outstanding unit. I've paid three times as much for units from other manufacturers and they were complete garbage. This one hits all the right marks for the best form factor, ease of use, sleek looks, up-to-standard and USB 3.0 too. It doesn't get much better than this if you primarily need to read SD cards and want something pocket-sized to take wherever you need to go. I would buy it again at thrice the price, as this was what I really wanted and what I should have bought the first time around.

Great reader, good quality and functions perfectly. Highly recommended!
