raymac46 2,401 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) I am one of those dinosaurs who doesn't take photos with a smartphone. I still take along a real camera on holiday and I like to transfer (back up) my photos on a laptop. The old netbook I used for this in the past has an SD slot but it is very slow and balky - even with a lightweight Linux distro installed. I want to take my faster Thinkpad but it's missing an SD slot. Now I do have a 10 year old card reader (one of those 17 in one behemoths with about 15 obsolete formats on it) but it is ugly, bulky and slow to boot. I decided it was worth it to invest $15 and get an up to date USB 3.0 card reader: https://www.amazon.c...s=sd usb reader This should work well and allow me to back up on a much faster and more powerful laptop on any future trips.

goretsky 1,128 Posted January 1, 2018 Hello, I use the same Anker model with my ThinkPad P50. It works quite well. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raymac46 2,401 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I have received my Anker USB/SD adapter and it works very well to upload photos to a PC from a camera. My old card reader often crashed my photo software when I used it but the Anker worked perfectly over USB. Edited January 4, 2018 by raymac46 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
