What is the transfer speed of this card reader?
1134686
Hi there! The 19-in-1 card reader is a pass-through device. As such the transfer speed depends on the transfer speed of the card that is plugged into it and would only be limited to the max speed of the USB 2.0 connection which would be roughly 25-30MB/s. Thank you for your interest in Kingston flash products, -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

Takes some time for the card to load, especially once it is about 1/3 full, but has otherwise been excellent. I have a Galaxy S2 skyrocket and transfer the card to the reader, where it basically works like a flash drive. The transfer of files to the computer is super fast, and I have not yet tried moving anything to the card from the computer.

I think its the fastest CF card you can get, its 800 Mbs per second. whereas Sandisks are only a fraction of this speed

Do NOT buy the Sandisk Class 2 card! "Class-2" means its write speed is 2MB/S minimum. This Transcend 8GB is a "Class 6" card, which means its write speed is at least 6MB/S. My own benchmark showed that the speed is actually closer to 10MB/S.If you must get a Sandisk card, get either the "Ultra II" (which is similar in speed with this Transcend card) or the "Extreme III" (which is the fastest)

I'm getting just under 130MB/s read and write. It took under 2 hours to copy some files (around a TB) that took seven hours under USB 2.0.

Check the transfer rates of the two cards that is likely the difference. You can also go to the Sandisk web site and compare the two cards.

Not a card reader... it is a 32GB flash drive (jump drive/thumb drive...whatever you call it in your region). It has a built in adapter that lets it plug into micro-usb ports (like cell phones and some tablets) in addition to plugging into a regular usb port on a computer. It is not a card reader, however.

Hey J. Riesbeck, Generally with readers like this the range is from point blank to about 1 inch or so. I got this exact card and have a similar range. The nice thing about this card, though, is that it is also an NFC reader. I used an arduino and created a automated door lock/unlocking mechanism for my house with a servo and use my andriod as a card! Good luck!

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

Sorry, I made a mistake. The USB 2.0 read speed is 30 megabytes/sec and the USB 3.0 read speed is 255 megabytes/sec., i.e., bytes not bits.

This reader will handle the high-capacity cards and - assuming it fits into a USB slot on the computer - should transfer photos from any form of SD card (older readers won't handle the SDHC cards.)

Nope. You have to pay for that as well, around $35. I would go with a different card reader. I ended up buying something else after I couldn't get this one to work.

Yes, but that is the max speed, average is about 3 to 3.5, on my old laptop anyway. I got a new one for Christmas and it has no place to plug in this card so I gave it to my son (along with the old laptop), he is in CA now or I would test it again.

I've observed transfer speed up to a maximum 32 MB/sec in a USB 2.0 port. But the transfer rate can vary dramatically, depending upon what other tasks your computer is doing in the background.

I am running two UHS-1 cards -SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory I have not formally benchmarked them but transfer using a USB 3.0 port is much faster than a 2.0 port.

I'm fairly certain that the 1000x means it is 1000x faster than the CD spec. Which is pretty slow. I know these are much faster than any other cards I have and I've simply gotten rid of all my slower cards because of how fast they are. The other answer says 95mb/sec, and I would believe that.

I don't know the exact speeds, but it's one of the slower drives I have. I have the 8GB version and I don't recommend it.
