Lexar Professional Multi-Card 3-in-1 USB 3.1 Reader, Supports SD, microSD and CF Cards (LRW500URBNA)

I have an older Nikon D800 which takes high speed Compact Flash and SD cards. My previous card readers were the previous Lexar reader which was USB2.0 and had a terrible plasticky body. After 6 years of use, it has stopped working altogether. But 6 years of real-world use is actually really good. Therefore, another Lexar Pro reader made sense to get. To my surprise, this isn't just a replacement. It's a big upgrade. The triangular design looks good on my desk and it's easy to just face the card type I am using. CF on one side and SD on the next. Transfer speeds are really good and I was pleasantly surprised to see USB-C on the actual device. It comes with a USB SS cable (super speeds for USB 3), but having a USB-C interface is a logical next step to have. These cards can't got to Thunderbolt transfers so SS is appropriate. In other words, the limiting speed factor is the card's read/write speeds. In a BlackMagic Disk speed, I got about 82MB/s in a CF card that is rated at 90MB/s, and about 255MB/s (read) on a SD card rated at 300MB/s. That's quite impressive. Finally, the value for money is a no-brainer. 6 years ago, I would have had to spend at least $100 for a SanDisk equivalent (made with a robust metal enclosure). At almost a fifth of that price, if I knew about this product sooner, I would have purchased it already. Thus far very pleased. I did see a review reporting issues with bent pins. That can happen with any card reader if the CF cards are inserted without any care. My gear is getting pretty old, but I still get amazing performance from them. That's largely because I treat my gear with care and respect and, in exchange, expect the best performance. I hope to have this card reader for many years to come.

Works as described...heavy for its size.

This works great. No problems at all with this. Very easy to use. Nice size. Compatable with every memory device I have. used. I feel Lexar is the best!

This kit is VERY tough. It's not meant for travel, but that means that I can keep my thumb-sized reader in my backpack and leave this plugged into my workstation at home. Having SD, Micro, and CF is the perfect combination as I can sync the memory cards from my full-frame DSLR, Hybrid SLR, and drone using the same device. It's nice and heavy so I'm not worried about knocking it off the desk or misplacing it. The USB 3 speeds are very quick and the chassis doesn't seem to get as warm as my previous adapter. It can be hard to find a combo reader these days that supports CF, so it was nice to find something that wasn't just a cheap CF-to-USB 2.0 adapter.

I’ve used this exact reader for 5+ years to cover NFL, final four, and thousands of assignments. Never once failed me. Reads cards quick and doesn’t break the bank.

Have several advanced amateur DSLR cameras as well as a few higher end point and shoot cameras that I use mostly for bird and nature photography and motorsports photography and have need for a combination reader of good quality for CF,SD and micro SD cards. This reader is well built and very sturdy as benefits its pro name. So far have had no issues with reading and transferring data from any of the cards, even some older cards. The only downside is here is a constant power light if it is left plugged in, wish this would go off or at least dim when a card is not inserted. This is otherwise highly recommended and hopefully will last a lot longer and perform better than some card readers I have had to trash in the past.

Excellent quality. Sturdy and fast. This one will last for a while.

It works perfectly!

Mi aspettavo di più da un prodotto professionale. Si e'storto un dentino del ingresso per il Compact flash e non si puo'piu inserire .Lo usavo di rado. Il prezzo elevato e adesso dopo cambio marca e prendo un prodotto a un costo inferiore

Dieser Lexar Kartenleser sieht nicht nur gut aus, er funktioniert auch prima.

Excelente calidad, buen precio

veio em perfeito estado, entrega rápida e eficaz, produto condiz totalmente com o anuncio

Most durable and fastest card reader device I've ever used as a consumer. A lot of them feel very cheap and hollow, however the build-quality of this device definitely matches its higher price. Feels solid and has a rubbery foot on the bottom (one large piece) that prevents it from sliding around and potentially scratching your desk. It comes with a USB 3.1 cable, which has USB-A to USB-C connectors to let you plug into the USB-C connector on the card reader itself. Also has a single light on the top of the device which illuminates when the reader is plugged in and in use.
