Customer Ratings & Reviews

Inserted my SD card and it swiped it clean. I lost all the video that was on it.

I bought this with the help of a store associate. found out that I needed a flash drive. went to return the item only to discover that Best Buy return policy is 15 days. I feel that’s ridiculous. Wont shop here again for small items.

The Insignia Memory Card reader works via a USB-A connection and helps someone like myself that has a laptop without any memory card slots. When I am out taking photos at an event, instead of using multiple cards, I take breaks and photo dump. I do this so I can see if I have to retake pictures and make sure my settings are correct throughout the event for different times of the day and lighting situations. The Reader is much more compact than the old style I was using that had a cable to worry about as well, now, I can just plug the Insignia one in and not worry about the reader falling off my tailgate and getting stepped on plus it takes up a quarter of the space in my case. The reader also works fast and I found I can have both a Micro and Standard SD card in at the same time, it does not confuse the computer like my other one, this makes my life even easier because my GoPro can be downloading while my DSLR photos can be as well. The Card Reader has a read/write speed of 95 mbps and in today's world, that is pretty much a standard speed, so it is not blazing fast nor is it slow, it just works. Nice job on the affordable and easy to use reader Insignia, that is the type of products we need nowadays, cheap but yet mid to upper mid quality at a real price that anyone can afford.

Not the best broke within a day might’ve been a faulty sad card although I believe it was the adapter

it works just fine. no complications in setting up or using.

This is truly a great product! I literally have some laptops that don’t have the slot for the mini SD nor SD and this product made it so seamless. Plug n play at your best. No lag, very response. Inserted into my laptop and then inserted the SD cards in. You can not only read from the SD cards but you can also write to them. So you can look at your pics, listen to your music and read your files saved on the reader. Need to save something on the SD cards? Flawless and simple. Also, if you don’t want to scratch up the metal on your SD cards by constantly inserting/ejecting from the slots (in case you do have the slots for both SD/mini-SD), you can carry this device with your SD cards already inserted and always be ready. It’s easier to find your SD cards when they are already attached to the stick. It’s important to note that files were able to be opened and saved, very quickly. The stick looks like any ordinary flash drive upon opening the package. This is a very useful gadget most people would appreciate having. I highly recommmed it.

Didnt work when i opened it dont buy this item if u need it to.work

The various types of home and portable computing devices these days are often coming with fewer slots for peripherals. As such, it can be hard to find a card reader slot for other than maybe nanos. Insignia has solved that problem with a Memory Card Reader (MCR) that is simply a USB 3.2 “thumb drive." It can handle SD, microSD, SDHC, micro SDHC, SDXC, micro SDXC cards. The MCR also comes with a pull/push cover to prevent damage. Carry it safely in your pocket, handbag, etc. The MCR is compatible with pretty much the gamut of OS: Windows, Mac, Chrome, iPad, and Android. Plug in one of the many compatible cards into the MCR, then plug the MCR into a computer or other device, and you are good to go. With the first use, you can set how you want the MCR to be opened with each use. (Note: Only one card at a time can be read.) The MCR is simplicity at its best. Plug memory card into MCR, plug MCR into device, and then download or upload as needed. Data stored on “old” tech can so easily be moved to “new” tech.

The Insignia USB-A SD/microSD card reader is a compact and affordable way to transfer files between your memory cards and your computer. It supports USB 3.0 speeds, so you can expect fast transfers of even large files. The reader is also compatible with a wide range of memory card formats, including SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC. Pros: Compact and lightweight design Affordable price Supports USB 3.0 speeds Compatible with a wide range of memory card formats Cons: The reader does not have a built-in LED indicator light. Overall, the Insignia USB-A SD/microSD card reader is a good value for the price. It is a good option for everyday use, but it may not be the best choice for users who need a more durable or feature-rich reader. Overall, the Insignia USB-A SD/microSD card reader is a good option for users who are looking for an affordable and easy-to-use card reader. However, it is important to note that it does not have a lot of features, but does it need them, it does what it needs to do.

Perfect for sd cards. Connects to everything flawlessly

It’s small and simple to use. It’s plug and play and I appreciate that. Used it to flash Ubuntu to a MicroSD for a Raspberry Pi.

This little USB card reader is handy to have. It allows you to read the 2 common (physical) sizes of memory cards on a PC with a USB-A port available.                                                                         I have a GoPro camera that uses microSD cards and a digital SLR camera that uses standard-sized SD cards. This device allows me to read both and manipulate both without having to fool around with multiple adapters I keep the adapter in my laptop computer bag so it is always available for use.       The card reader performs well, with read/write speeds that are about the same as if I use a computer that has the card reader slots built in.                         Overall it is a simple device that is convenient to have on hand and performs well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Works perfect for what I use it for! Photographers backup!

First of all I love this particular location and the customer service is always good. Secondly this card reader is excellent. Does everything and has everything I need.

In writing a review of this Insignia memory card adapter, I realized that I had almost nothing to say. This is a pretty good thing. Considering what a device like this is supposed to do, the last thing I want is anything that grabs my attention. A memory card adapter should be functionally invisible, and this one is just that: with an SD or Micro SD card inserted, the adapter inserted into a USB-A port in a computer, the card appears as a standard drive. Quick and easy. No drivers to install, no setup, nothing. It’s just there, quick and clean. There was one thing, though. This one has a nice plastic cap to protect the USB connector when it is not in use. Problem is, when the device IS in use, it is way too easy to lose the cap. I have a few memory card adapters lying around, and other one has a protective cap attached to it by a little plastic strap. Seems obvious, but this feature escaped the design team. The “losable” cap is the only reason I didn’t give this item the full five stars.

I’m not sure if I’m in the minority or not but I used to have microSD cards in all the phones my family used and none of our phones take them now. Which leaves me with a pile of memory cards we can’t use since the computers don’t come with slots for them either. The Insignia USB-A MicroSD Card reader is a really cool solution to this problem because it allows you to take your SD and MicroSD memory cards and read them in a USB-A port on your computer or laptop. This is actually a super short review because there’s almost nothing to it! Inside the small box only slightly bigger than a deck of cards you’ll find a warranty pamphlet, a quickstart guide, and the card reader which is like a large jump drive. The stick has a slot for MicroSD and a slot for SD cards, put the card in and plug the device into your computer and it automatically opens the folder to view all the files on your memory card. There’s no software to install, no drivers to download, or any catch at all……just literally plug and play! It works great, I’ve been able to start compiling all my random memory cards into one place and found some pictures I forgot we had from vacations and holiday get-togethers. Insignia has never let me down with quality either, so I have no reason to suspect that my opinion will change once I’ve used this thing for another couple weeks, the construction feels solid enough (as solid as jump drives go) so as long as you’re not dropping it on cement or stepping on it you’ll be able to enjoy memory card reading enjoyment for years to come from one small affordable package!

Works perfectly and effortlessly. I'd recommend this to anyone who needs to transfer files from SC cards.

Works as it should, easy to use and fits in your pocket.

Exactly what I was looking for! Easy to use, set up, and figure out!

Love it works as advertised it is now a permanent fixture on my dock
