Customer Ratings & Reviews

great for storing things small easy to store useful and durable and great price glad I bought it

I have a new laptop that doesn't have an SD or MicroSD slot. Also got a docking station to use at home that also doesn't have an SD or MicroSD reader, because for the infrequent use it would get, the extra cost was not justified. This portable works at home in the docking station's USB hub, as well as on the road in the laptop directly.

I purchased the Insignia USB 3.0 SD and microSD Memory Card Reader to transfer photos from my camera’s SD card to my computer, and it has performed admirably. The device supports a variety of card types, including SD, microSD, SDHC, microSDHC, SDXC, and microSDXC, making it versatile for different devices. Its USB 3.0 interface ensures quick data transfer speeds, and it’s compatible with multiple operating systems like Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android. The compact design, coupled with a protective cap, makes it easy to carry around without worrying about damage. Overall, it’s a reliable and affordable solution for anyone needing to transfer data from memory cards to their devices.

Works just as intended. No issues whatsoever. Good price and quality.

It is a bit pricey, but it gets the job done. With a trusted brand, you have to accept that fact, however.

Easy to use it is good faster I like a lot I would recommend to anybody to have one

Haven’t had to return it so that’s a good sign it works

Easy to use, does exactly what I need it to without any hassle. Can't ask for much more from this kind of things.

I wish my memory worked as good as this Memory Card Reader Does! Great product! I’ve been using this for my Los Angeles based Real Estate Photography Company (Veteran-Owned), and it has performed perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Handy product for using microSD memory cards. Works as expected.

Amazing, now I can review all my footage on my camera for a great price!

Does exactly what’s expected of it, reads my SD cards and allows for seamless editing between my devices. I’m also glad that it functions as a micro-SD card reader incase I have a device that instead uses those in the future.

It’s an overall good product pretty fast speeds of uploading pictures pretty high-quality honestly if you’re just looking for something, that’ll do the job. This is perfect for you professional photographer and this works for me. I’m very happy with this product especially for cheap price photography can be expensive to have a cheap product that works great is amazing.

Good quality, easy to use, inexpensive -- great purchase.

Let me tell you about this little Insignia USB 3 SD and microSD card reader, because as a Best Buy Total Tech Member, I'm always looking for those handy gadgets that just make life easier, and this one definitely fits the bill fornme. What I really appreciate about this reader is its straightforward simplicity and how incredibly easy it is to use, you literally just plug it into a USB A port on your computer or tablet, pop in your SD or microSD card, and you're off to the races transferring files (no drivers to install, no hoops to jump through), it just works right out of the box, which is fantastic. It’s super compact, almost tiny, with a little cap to protect the USB connector, making it perfect to just toss in a laptop bag, a camera bag, or even a pocket without worrying about it getting damaged, I’ve used it countless times to quickly get photos and videos off my camera’s SD card and onto my laptop for editing, and the USB 3.0 speeds are definitely noticeable compared to older USB 2.0 readers, things just move along much quicker, which is a huge plus when you’re dealing with large files, it’s also great for pulling files from microSD cards from drones, action cams, or even for folks who use them with their 3D printers to transfer print files. The price point is another big win here cause it’s very affordable, and for the functionality and convenience it offers, it's a really good value, at times it can be a bit tricky to get the microSD card in just right sometimes because the slot is pretty flush, but honestly, these kind of things are minor things for me. The build quality is what you'd expect for the price... it's plastic, but it feels sturdy enough for everyday use. Overall, it's a reliable, no fuss way to get your files from your memory cards to your computer without spending a lot, this Insignia reader is a solid little performer that gets the job done efficiently, it's one of those simple, practical pieces of tech that you'll find yourself reaching for more often than you'd think!

Speed on the insignia reader is good. However, the design is not amazing. The USB reader is too big and blocky. Due to the size, it takes up most of the USB 3.20 port space. You will not be able to insert another USB next to the SD card reader due to it being too big. It becomes a hassle to use on most of devices.

Works exceptionally however is a little overpriced at 15 dollars

This works a lot better than the other one I was using. One suggestion for all card readers would be to show the direction of insertion though.

I purchased the Insignia™ USB 3.0 SD and microSD Memory Card Reader and it works perfectly. It’s fast, compact, and very easy to use—just plug and play. I use it for transferring photos and videos from my camera’s SD card to my laptop, and the USB 3.0 speed makes a big difference. The build quality feels solid, and it's small enough to carry around in my tech pouch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable card reader!

Ok, so Insignia's SD/MicroSD card to USB adapter is a no frills piece of kit. You get a simple device, in a simple box, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a truly fast USB-A 3.2 (5Gbps) device. It has a protective cap, but essentially that's the extent of the features besides two slits that fit either an SD or Micro SD card. The box claims that the device can transfer up to 95 MB/sec. That's no lie! I have a Sandisk Ultra card that's rated for 100MB/s+ that I use for my Sony mirrorless camera. Taking 4K video needs high performance cards, so I have one. I was able to transfer a 20GB video in minutes - peaking at 93 MB/sec, but sustained over 90MB/sec the entire time. That's delivering on a essentially the only core feature this product claims: fast transfer from your removable media. The device's form factor could be better. Having SD card stick out from the side instead of just extending the length of the device means that it could interfere with other ports or devices on a laptop or the back of a crowded desktop. Perhaps a short cable or dongle style might have been preferred for some. That said, if you want to just throw it in your camera bag and go, this is a great form factor and device. The protective cover keeps the USB port out of trouble and essentially will fit securely in your bag. Overall - there's not much to say other than this device delivers! With so many card readers on laptops only delivering USB 2.0 speeds, it's nice to have a USB SD card reader that actually transfers at it's promised rate. Recommended!!
