- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseI didn't have to download any drivers or programs which is great because my computer is windows 11 in safety mode. So it only allows Microsoft apps and software! Can't take it out of mode because it messes everything up(learned from a huge mistake on another laptop)
Perfect size for travel and also takes up very little desk space witch is a plus for me
I love that it was super easy plug inland play.
Great high quality beautiful product. Even came with a plastic protection for the shiny top.
The cord is amazing it's woven fabric type cord so it's not easily damaged, also has a wrap for cord so if you need to travel and store.the price is completely amazing for this piece
Connects easily and super functional.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseThis is a USB 3.0 card reader with 3 USB 3.0 ports and various card reader slots. It's about the size of a credit card that's around a half inch thick, and it has a 2.5 foot long cable (pretty close to exactly). It's made of plastic but seems reasonably solid. I wouldn't step on it though.
I bought this about 2 months ago to help me upgrade some old PCs. I don't have USB 3 ports on them, so I wasn't able to get the most out of this device, but I could plug multiple things into it at once and have them all recognized and able to interact. I can also say that this is definitely faster than my old card reader. In a USB 2 port, I'm getting about as good of speeds as I could hope for.
When I was shopping around for card readers, I saw lots of reviews where people had issues with the reader killing their card. Thus far, after two months of regular use, I have had no issues. The manufacturer promises strong support and a good warranty, but I have not yet had to test that. The build quality seems good, and the cable has a nice braided sheath. Also, there is a velcro cable tie that includes the support email address, which I think is a nice touch.
For $16, I think this card reader is a really good value, assuming it continues to hold up to use. It's plug and play, and I had no issues with using it with Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10. The largest capacity device that I had attached was a 1 tb SSD, and that worked fine.
While I don't have any complaints, an aluminum housing and a USB-C port would be nice in a future iteration. It may even be good to have a 2nd microSD port considering the fact that so many devices use those cards, though you can put a microSD card in an SD card adapter, and you can get a USB 3 to USB-C adapter. Compact Flash seems to be mostly for certain kinds of cameras, so a lot of people won't need that, but I appreciate having that there as I do have a camera with that kind of memory card. I'm not sure how necessary the MS slot is as I think that's for a Sony proprietary card, and I'm not sure if many devices still use that, but it is nice to have, I'm sure, as sometimes you need to access older tech.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2023Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseI bought this little drive because my laptop has only one SD drive and it does not work very well. I looked at many other drives but this one had the read write capability on more than one card at a time. The construction of the drive is good. The cord is braided and is over 2 feet long.I have tested the SD slot and the three USB drive ports and I had no problems at all. The weird thing about this drive is the SD card has to go in upside down? The USB drives also have to be put in upside down. I had the drive right side up because I could read the markings on on it. Plus I had the manufacturers sticker facing up. Oh well, I guess this is how they designed it. I used it on a Windows PC with Windows 11 running and I didn't need a driver. It works fine with my Mac as well. I would recommend this drive because it functions well and expands your computers capabilities.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseThis is a tiny (85 x 55 x 15 mm) little box with slots for SD, micro SD, compact flash, and memory stick. There are also three USB 3.0 type A ports. I was surprised at the build quality, especially the braided cable with good strain relief. Everything worked perfectly from the moment I plugged it into a USB port on my Windows 11 computer. I have tested USB flash drives, several SD cards, and a micro SD card. Everything works as expected, and the card readers do in fact operate at USB 3 speeds (see attached photos). If you plug the reader into a USB 2.0 connector, it will still work at the lower speed. For the price you can't beat it.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2025Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseMultiple ways to read SD cards, works great.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020Style: USB-AVerified PurchasePlug and play easy to use. Great product for $15 and does what it suppose to. Its a nice feature to include an USB port since it takes up one from your laptop or desktop. Greatly increase the performance of your existing memory cards. I did a test compared my currently USB 2.0 card reader and the WARRKY reader and the Read speed has included significantly as you can see from the photos. I used a SanDisk Ultra 32 gb microSDHC I card from a few years ago so the write speed only improves slightly. I have ordered a new Patriot A1 V30 U3 256 gb microSDXC card and will do another performance test to see if it can achieve better write speed. I have seen many review of memory card saying the card they purchased does not achieve the advertised speed, that is because they are running it on an old reader. You will need a new reader like this one to get close to the speed they advertise.
The card reader is light weight and made of plastic. I will see how it hold up during travel but if you are mainly using it at home around your desk, you should be fine. It has a 2.5 ft braided cable that feel sturdy. The length of the cable is enough when you are using it with a laptop but if your computer is under the desk, it may not be long enough to be placed on the spot you want on your desk and you will need to found one with a longer cable. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Es bastante rápido
Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseNecesitaba un lector de tarjetas más rápido en lectura y en velocidad de transmisión de datos, sobre todo fotografías. Este dispositivo lo es. Como dice en sus características técnicas, tiene diferentes entradas para tarjetas, y tres para usb.
La velocidad depende de la tarjeta, pero va realmente bien.
El único pero, sería que la carcasa de plástico no es muy refinada ni en color ni en calidad. Parece que la primera vez que se caiga se va a romper, pero el sistema de lectura es bueno, así que le daría un 4'8. sobre 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speedy card reader
Style: USB-AVerified PurchaseI've come across WARRKY before, having one of their USB-C to HDMI cables. I like their aesthetic, good quality cable braiding and a focus on performance.
This card reader shares some of the quality of other products, although the plastic casing isn't particularly high quality in this instance and the colour is more 'grey' than the picture would suggest.
Aesthetics aside, the reader has a total of 3 USB ports and 3 card slots. At a technical level is it essentially a USB 3.2 Gen1 4 port hub, with the 4th port wired to the card slots. It also implements a backwards compatible USB 2.1 hub for older devices under the covers. The card reading is implemented by a Genesys Logic chipset.
For cards, the USB3.2 Gen1 speed is potentially excessive, essentially the limitation will be the card itself, the interface speed of USB3.2 Gen1 is 5Gbps, which equates to 625MB/s. The fastest UHS-II SD cards peak at around 300MB/s. Although there is of course the possibly of reading multiple cards simultaneously, along with USB devices, thereby filling the available bandwidth.
I tested a couple of devices in the reader.
SanDisk Ultra USB3.0 32GB reported sequential read of 146MB/s and write of 54MB/s
SanDisk Extreme 64GB V30 A2 SD Card reported sequential read of 89MB/s and write of 85MB/s
Asides from synthetic benchmarks, everything feels snappy, even on drives and cards with many thousands of small files.
For myself, I don't need the extreme potential speeds offered by this device, however, having recently upgraded my PC I've made a conscious effort to ensure all attached hubs, readers and KVM offer a baseline of 5Gbps speed - so as to not introduce any bottlenecks when hubs are wired in series. This reader fits the bill nicely.
I've seen a few reviews unhappy with orientation of some of the ports, that is card and USB devices have to be inverted. I don't see this as an issue, I've had no problems inserting any card or devices into the reader.
If anything the included LED is a little gimmicky, it doesn't really serve any purpose. It is supposed to indicate power, recognition and reading - but it's an unnecessary feature and not particularly clear. If you insert a drive and it works, it works - I suspect if it didn't you would just reinsert it.
Pleased with this unit, will update review should longevity be an issue.

It is supposed to indicate power, recognition and reading - but it's an unnecessary feature and not particularly clear. If you insert a drive and it works, it works - I suspect if it didn't you would just reinsert it.
Pleased with this unit, will update review should longevity be an issue.
