Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this little guy! It's my second SD card-to-flash drive that I've had. The last one was cheaper, but it also looked the part. This one, on the other hand, looks professional, sturdy, and lightweight. It's small enough to stay out of the way, but big enough to look good in use. I don't use SD or MicroSD cards much any more like I did in college, but when my girlfriend's Android freaked out and corrupted her entire Micro SD card (I think that's what it was), I told her to let me borrow it. Using this card reader, I was able to plug her Micro SD into my computer, and, with the card still in the reader, ran a data recovery program that rebuilt all her photos that weren't corrupted. The reader got warm from the process (file recovery takes a couple hours and strains the drive that the data is on), but this little guy held in there like a pro. My girlfriend ended up not losing a single file. Like I said, I don't use card readers very often any more, but this is one of those things that I feel like everyone should have in case of an emergency, like needing to download photos after a digital camera's computer cable is lost, or when you need to get files off an Android. It's less than $10, and it's worth it to have one if and when it's needed right away. I've had good experience with the brand (Anker) in the past as well. They have really small, minimalistic packaging, but they also don't seem too "businesslike" as a company. At my old job we purchased several "4-Port Aluminum USB 3.0 Hubs", one for every web designer and web developer, since plugging hard drives and flash drives in and out was necessary many times per day. I don't recall ever having issues with any of them. Anyway, I'm actually going to go browse their other products now haha. Hope my review helped!
