StarTech 35FCREADBK3 Reviews

This device is very dated, as in nearly obsolete.

Headline says it all. It works but the only current card slots are the SD and micro SD slots. In addition with USB 2.0 the transfer process for files is quite slow. It would really be nice to see this updated to a SATA interface and with UHS II SD capabilities and CFExpress type A and B slots.

Unit intermittently fails, taking my computer system with it

This felt like a solid investment. Fair price, easy install. I never expected to start experiencing intermittent input issues in other parts of my computer. At first, I thought my mechanical keyboard was failing, but then my trusty mouse and capture card started failing too... odd. After swapping through mice and backup keyboards, I figured the USB bus on the motherboard was dying, so i begrudgingly replaced the motherboard. But $200 later and on a new board, the failures were still happening. I dug deeper through the OS system logs, and finally tracked the USB connection and disconnection issues back to this device. THIS card reader was the original source of ALL of my USB bus issues. Unplugged it, and everything is back to normal. Needless to say, I am highly upset and very disappointed that this device's reliability lasted less than 6 months, and is now also conveniently out of warranty! I sincerely hope B&H will think of something special to help with this kind of situation.
