USB Smart Card Reader - Rocketek DOD Military USB Common Access CAC Memory Card Reader compatible with Windows (All), Linux/Unix, MacOS X (All)

I bought this smart card reader to use with my NHS smartcard for remote access to clinical systems, and it works perfectly. It was truly plug and play (classic USB connection)—no hassle with setup, which was a big plus. For the price, it's excellent value.The build quality isn't the most robust, and it doesn't feel like it will stand the test of time, but it’s not flimsy or falling apart either. It is compact, has an indicator LED that isn't too bright, and seems to work instantaneously. Considering the price point, I think it’s a really good deal for what you get.Overall, if you need a straightforward, affordable solution for smartcard access, this one does the job well.

Very pleased

Reasonable quality and flexible use.

I always use SD cards with my laptops. This is an ideal multi card reader that does the job I require. I am pleased with this purchase.

This product is not reading the id card.Very difficult to install in windows PC.

I've got a portuguese ID and needed a card reader so I can login on the portuguese government website using my ID. This was really easy to use and it worked. Quick to read the card as well

It doesn't transfer at USB 3 speeds. Best I could get was about 10MB per second. I subsequently tried a SanDisk USB 3 card reader & it transferred data at about 100MB/sec.If you're looking to transfer a lot of data to/from a micro SD card - this isn't the best solution. If you're transfering smaller amounts of data & speed isn't a concern - it works ok. Tried it with a Pixel 7 phone & it worked ok (read & transferred data at about 10MB/sec).

Transfering images and other data to and from phone using WiFi and Bluetooth is slow and a right lash-up compared with doing the same on a PC. Simply plug in and copy or move the file to or from the SD card and phone and it is done in seconds. My only concern is that the device might be easily lost from pocket or pouch, but there is a substantial loop in the case that will take a keyring or similar. Because of the thoughtful design, the adaptor plugs through my thick protective phone case and is also flat enough not to jack up my very thin laptop when plugged into that.Transfer speed is limited mainly by the phone or laptop or more likely by the SD card itself. Anyway, it is much faster than WiFi or Bluetooth.
