    My old sony multicard reader did not seem compatable with my win 11 build so i nneded to find an inexpensive replacement


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no indication anywhere telling you you need to insert it that way and someone trying to put it in the wrong way could possibly damage the pins on the card reader or damage the card
