Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Some people still have a modicum of pride. The text labels makes sense, the design is intuitive, and—again—the quality is impeccable. Could not be happier with it.

Startech produces quality peripherals. Everything startech branded is good quality, but comes at a premium. This item demonstrates once again the difference between cheap chinese electronics and in expensive taiwan electronics.

The usb 3. Connector works with all of the usb ports available on my box. This accessory is particularly good for a system that has a motherboard with an internal usb 3 port installed in a case that has no usb3 port on the front. This thing is super f... Read More

The startech cf to ide adapter comes with everything you need for an embedded design or for inclusion in a pc with a 3. Inch screen. Startech also has a bay converter to make this fin into a 5. Bay. The startech model 35fcreadbu3, 3, comes with pci ex... Read More

Alright folks, heres a real review. This review is for the cf to ide adapter. If you are lucky enough to be able to read older cards that's icing-on-the-cake.

Cons

The adapter still functions with the eject button gone, although there is an unsightly hole between the card socket and the faceplate where the button used to be. The cf card slot is very shallow, this means you have to be careful when inserting your ... Read More

I first bought one of these in 2017 and had zero issues until last month, when the usb jack popped out.

Price

This is exactly what i needed and it's for a good price.

0, it is more expensive than the 2.

For 15 bucks and a few extra for shipping.

It's not super cheap, so it should provide a few years of service.

Shipping

Thanks for a good service, prompt, and to the point, very realiable, thanks!

I wanted to mount it on the rear but conceded in order to get one in a timely fashion.

Packaging/appearance

I had a usb 3 card reader on my old box but it was attached with a cable and unsightly.

Competitiveness

0 connector made this easier and faster than much of the competition.

This item demonstrates once again the difference between cheap chinese electronics and inexpensive taiwan electronics.

I bought this in lieu of a similar device at monoprice because monoprice wouldn't ship it in an ideal amount of time.

Many of the other brands you will find have two separate connections: one usb 3 and the other for usb 2.
