    Great size and design

    I used this device to transfer photos from my old Sony camera to my new laptop. I transferred 1980 photos in less than one minute. Due to small size, it is easy to carry the device together with the camera.

    Small enough to carry anywhere

    I got this to go with my Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 18.2-Megapixel Digital Camera. This allows me to quickly transfer fotos to any computer USB port. Makes my reporting easier and it is small enough to fit in my camera pouch so I never forget it.

    100% satisfactory

    What can I say? It's inexpensive, easy to use, and does the job as advertised. The card slots on my old pc have failed and this saved me from having to buy a new computer!

    Great Sd Card Reader

    I got this to replace having to put my sd card in my phone or tablet to be able to transfer videos and pictures to my computer. So far it has been working great and it reads the card fast when connected to the computer. It may be a little pricey but it works great.

    Compact, Sturdy, Gets the Job Done.

    I have had a usb 2.0 adapter for years, and recently tried to use it while monitoring its read and write speeds. Needless to say, if was plugging along at a mere 1-1.5 Mb/s. I got this adapter as its replacement, and was not disappointed with difference. It managed read and write speeds of 70-75Mb/s with both type A and type C connections. The card being used was rated for speeds of 90-100Mb/s, but I cannot verify whether the bottleneck was the adapter or the card itself. So for the time being, I am satisfied with its performance and sturdy build.

  • Will it read a SD card from Deer Cam? I bought 2 card readers and yet have gotten them to work. I have a Samsung J7 android. What do I need to make it work?

    IOGEAR says: Thank you for choosing IOGEAR. The GFR3C312 sill read most SD and Micro SD Cards. This card reader will work with most phones that have a USB C port . The Samsung J-7 has not been tested with this card reader . The J-7 would have to support OTG to work with this device. As the customer stated below you can copy what files are needed to the Micro SD card using this card reader and then place the card in your J-7. Once again thank you for choosing IOGEAR.
