Sabrent 74-In-1 3.5-Inch Internal Flash Media Card Reader/writer with USB Port (CR-USNT)

Good

very good

Good quality - though one drawback is that the blue led does not go off.Found a way around this by changing bios - and switching off power to usb on off state.However not changing the rating as equipment stopped working after 33 months.

Bought this to upgrade my old PC, delivered in a nice package and ahead of time. Its easy to install, easy to operate. No drivers needed. Sits cutely in a 3.5' drive bay, you may nee to buy a caddy if you have only 5" bays.

Replaced the 3.5" Floppy, now I have full media card support!

NOTE: To disable the power light when computer is off you must go into BIOS and ENABLE ErP Support. This may be called something similar like EUP--which again you would ENABLE. Some BIOS may have something like "USB Charge Technology"--which you would want to DISABLE. Also disable wake by mouse, wake by keyboard, wake by LAN and similar.REVIEW: I'm fond of the Sabrent brand, having used a number of their products over the years with positive results.I physically tested the usb, memory stick, sd card, and micro sd card slots and all worked. In addition, BIOS recognized and reported all adapters, and even allows me to boot from them if I choose.This product is compatible with the StarTech 3.5 to 5.25 bay adapter. You will need longer screws than what's provided. It has motherboard thread pitch--the standard mobo screws with the larger hexagonal/philips head will work. Even then they're juuuust long enough. [The StarTech adapter comes with a grab bag of different screws you can use.]Some say with the StarTech bay adapter you get a little gap, and while that's true if your eye is three inches away generally it is not noticeable--this coming from someone very OCD about these things.The other complaint I've seen is a microSD slot that goes bad. In general, microSD slots are fragile and so this doesn't surprise me. When they fail it generally comes down to user error vs a fault in the port. For mSD I'll continue to use my mSD to SD adapter, and only use the native microSD slot if the adapter breaks or goes missing.The power LED is extraordinarily bright, as others have said. I applied two coats of testor's flat black model paint *carefully* with a toothpick after *carefully* roughing up the LED lens with 1000 grit sandpaper (as best I could given the recess). Result is good, no shine through, however the LED is so bright it actually shines dimly through the adjacent access LED lens, which incidentally gives you a power indicator that isn't distracting. I took a picture of this in a very bright room--bare in mind the camera picked up the blue a bit more readily than your eye does. In a bright room you'd only notice it if looking for it, however in normal or dim conditions you can see the glow clearly.The access light itself is also quite bright and a different color, so it's obvious when you're looking at power (blue) vs access (white).The power cable could have been longer for more mounting flexibility, and again they could've included more useful screws. Other than that and working around the light I'm happy, for about the cost of a happy meal.Product fills the niche for 2.0, and seems reliable if not abused.

After a few days, the card reader does not work. Only the USB port...

Works great, super easy installation, good quality piece of hardware.

The card slots are really really tight to push a card into. To the point where you feel like your damaging your cards. A wire also came out of the connector. I pushed it back in but my new computer wouldn't recognize the drive. Into the recycle bin this drive went.
