It has roughly doubled the speed of my cards compared with my computer's internal reader so for £10 this was a no brainer. Read speeds are about 150% (2.5x) quicker, Write speeds are about 50-60% quicker from testing the various SD and MicroSD cards that I have via USB 3.0. The faster the card, the more noticeable the difference. The really slow cards do not Write any faster than the internal reader, but the Reading is always significantly faster. It's made of plastic and very lightweight so time will tell how long it lasts but I'm quite careful with my stuff and have secured it with some sticky pads so it shouldn't get damaged. It's very compact and looks smart. The blue LED stays on all the time and flashes when the cards are in use. You can use multiple cards at the same time apart from SD and MicroSD where you can only use one (or other) at a time. Includes free file recovery software download as well - nice bonus! Not much more to say other than it does the job very well. If you're a professional you may want something even faster and more heavy duty but I think for the average home user this is all you need. I'll look out for the Transcend brand in future. Review: Excellent Card Reader. Very Easy to use. - Excellent product. Transcend All-in-1 Multi-Card Reader Device (SDHC/SDXC/MSXC USB 3.0) Black . Bought as my PENTAX OPTIO 33L would no longer work due to incompatibility with WINDOWS 10 (& no suitable update available from Pentax), but works with whatever type of info you have on your memory card (music, documents, video etc). The reader takes many sizes/ types of memory cards and you can download a user leaflet from the Transcend website. The card reader is very simple to use. Just plug it into your laptop via USB3 or USB2 & put your memory card into it, in my case a Compact Flash 133x 2GB. Blue light on the Reader comes on when it's connected. Go into your preferred viewing / editing application e.g Photoscape. You may find that your laptop automatically starts up an application depending on your laptop settings or brings up a list of applications you have on your laptop (e.g windows own preferred apps). Personally, I close that message box then open my preferred option e.g Photoscape. In the application, e.g Photoscape, I open the appropriate Drive which corresponds to the USB connection you've used (e.g mine is F:). You can then copy or transfer your photos (or files of any type) across to your laptop, or just leave them on your memory card and work on them there. In fact I wish I had bought this card reader years ago as it is a much easier way of getting at my photos. ## Features - USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface - compact and portable design - Multifunctional card reader with SD, microSD and CompactFlash card slots - Transfer high-resolution images and video recordings to your computer faster and more efficiently - Download the RecovRx data recovery software from Transcend's official website ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0056TYRMW | | Best Sellers Rank | 207,339 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 1,819 in External Memory Card Readers | | Department | Default Category | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | TS-RDF8K | | Language | English, English, English, English | | Manufacturer | Transcend | | Product Dimensions | 6.76 x 4.5 x 1.52 cm; 56.7 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Transcend - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** USB Type A - **Special feature:** Compact ## Images ![USB 3.1 Gen 1 Multifunctional Card Reader - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/313mQC1NZ8L.jpg) ![USB 3.1 Gen 1 Multifunctional Card Reader - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31MDz0j1zBL.jpg) ![USB 3.1 Gen 1 Multifunctional Card Reader - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mluL6iD2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All you need for home use *by J***R on 28 June 2016* Works very well.

This works very well, as expected. Cards are recognised quickly and the transfer rate is very fast. I have two criticisms. Firstly the USB cable provided is so short (35cm) it is nearly impossible to use the reader with a tower case computer; secondly, the reader is very small, so the MS card slot is actually on the rear, next to the cable connector. For use with a laptop, these criticisms would not be particularly relevant, but for tower computers, a longer USB cable is essential. ## Frequently Bought Together - Transcend USB 3.0 Super Speed Multi-Card Reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC/MS/CF Cards (TS-RDF8K),Black - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - [Older Version] SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXY-064G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/48944412-usb-3-1-gen-1-multifunctional-card-reader-black](https://www.desertcart.de/products/48944412-usb-3-1-gen-1-multifunctional-card-reader-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-02*
