I was looking for a new micro-SD card reader for my 3D printer and as soon I saw this one that has the SD go INSIDE the usb I knew I had to have it so I bought 2. My plan was to disassemble one and 3D print a new housing for it to make it even smaller and have another as a backup in case that didn't work. My 3D print worked to great success and now I have an awesome tiny micro-SD card reader that can double up as a tiny flash drive if I leave an sd card in it (which in theory could be up to 1Tb which would be absolutely incredible!). However... the second one I ordered appeared to have an assembly fault which rendered it useless as the pcb did line up correctly inside the usb. As I had the first one I disassembled it in the hope I could fix the issue which worked somewhat, but afterwards it refused to work and scratched up my sd card. As I can't say for certain that I didn't damage it myself by dis-assembling it I felt it would be unfair to return it. The one that I modified has had some intermittent issues as it occasionally takes a while to show up on the computer after plugging it in or even comes up with an error, but again this could be my fault as I have re-assembled it multiple times. The build quality is surprisingly good as parts of the (original) housing are made of metal which I didn't expect. If it wasn't for the issues with the second one I would give this a 4.5/5.

Great compact card reader with a chain, and a nice end cap as well.

Does the job and does it well! Most laptops these days come without any way of reading an SD card, let alone a micro SD one. So, if you're looking for a space-efficient and versatile way to load your Raspberry Pi images this is the tool for you. Plus, this is a great way to support ThePiHut instead of spending your hard-earned pounds on a generic brand from Amazon.

Can't beat it for the price. It worked. I was able to flash a new OS to my SD card. It is a bit finicky with placement but not a deal breaker.
