Fast, well built, compact, fast.
As a professional photographer, transferring large files to and from professional memory cards, this card reader improves my process flow. Using USB-C, speeds I experience are 665MB/s writing and around 800MB/s reading. Well done Sandisk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality!

The media could not be loaded.
 I bought this knowing that I’d have to purchase the usb-c to usb-a cord separately. I’ve have other card readers before that were of lesser quality. Those tend to not last as long or start to get errors or glitches fairly quickly. This one however so fair has been excellent. No issues using it in both my tv or laptop. It also loads content faster than other readers that I’ve had.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great if your computer has a USB-C port
Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2022
Size: SD and MicroSDVerified Purchase
Works like a charm and has great speed when transferring to my laptop that has USB-C ports, but the USB 3.0 ports on my video editing computer are all USB-A, so now I have to order a cable, and all of my USB-A to USB-C cables are only USB 2.0 standard, and as a result are really slow.

EDIT: After the high-speed USB-A to USB-C cable arrived (an additional $15), the card reader is really shining on my system. If you don't need an A to C cable and can make do with the C to C cable that is including, this is a 5-star device. But, if you have to pay extra to hook it up to many computers... knock off one star for the added cost of buying a separate cable.

I don't do speed tests, or anything on these kinds of things - it's really just a PASS FAIL system.
Totally passes. Used it for a couple of weeks now. Both SD and Micro SD it can read it. Love that it's not so tiny that I loose it, but also doesn't claim too much space on my desk.

I recently purchased the SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader for SD and microSD cards, and it has been an exceptional addition to my toolkit. As someone who frequently transfers files from SD cards to my computer, I've found this card reader to be incredibly efficient and reliable.

Performance: One of the most impressive aspects of this card reader is its speed. The data transfer is notably quick, making it a significant time-saver, especially when dealing with large files. It's consistently reliable, with no errors or issues during the transfer process.

Build Quality and Design: SanDisk has done an excellent job in terms of build quality. The reader feels robust and well-constructed, giving a sense of durability that is essential for professional use. Its sleek design also adds a professional touch to my workspace.

Overall Experience: Every time I've used this card reader, it has worked amazingly well. The ease of use and the efficiency it brings to my workflow is something I greatly appreciate. It has quickly become an indispensable tool for me.

I would highly recommend the SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader to anyone who frequently works with SD and microSD cards. Whether you're a professional photographer, videographer, or just someone who values efficiency and reliability in data transfer, this product is definitely worth considering.
