And even I with my old Nikon D50, which not even mastered SDHC, have decided to use this card reader. And although I have a built-in USB card reader with half a dozen slots for about 10 formats. But precisely because there is the problem: This built-in card readers are probably all at war with me, because either they are broken after a few uses, bring my drive mappings mess or go sporadically for no apparent reason. USB's now not a new technique more, because should not happen like that.
So I got myself the Transcend TS-RDF5K card reader for my 2GB SD card. In a USB 3.0 port, the part is quite warm, even when not in use. In a USB 2.0 port this change bulbs remains off. Anyway, is important for the SD content available no half-second after plugging and reading is done without significant delay. Can on the possible top speed of USB 3.0 and SDHC and SDXC (and must) I renounce, but crucial for me is the reliability of my sporadic but then urgent missions.
