The thing that for me took this from an average 3 star cheapo plastic usb card reader to an item i would give a 4 star rating is that it was able to read and format an old micro sd card which already had some corrupted data

I couldnt get that card to read in any other drive or phone it was not even recognized therefore i couldnt format the card

If put into an aluminum or at least a more solid plastic housing and with the micro sd slot positioned facing outwards in line with the usb port instead of on the side of the device obstructing the next usb port in line i would happily give this device a 5 star rating and pay an extra dollar or two at checkout
