Compatibilté without problems with USB slot 3 & 2 in my case on my Laptops (ASUS & Win 7 HP & ACER Tablet PC 8.1 and iconia W700P Win 8.1).
The card reader also works on Android USB OTG port on my micro tablet Asus ME302C) + cable + OTG USB Cable TechExpert micro sd 64GB (or 64GB SD); This in addition to the micro sd card up to 64GB in the tablet's micro Sd port.
