Back in the old days I have a multi card reader from Sony it's pretty good but then my Nikon Df uses the current SD UHS-II which it can't read. So I bought an SD only card reader from Best Buy. It's Insignia brand which is Best Buy house brand. Works OK. Now I am thinking about getting a good card reader. This one seems to have just what I need reading CF card, SD and Micro SD. That's about all the cards I use

Seems reasonable.

I have used Lexar readers for years and can wholeheartedly recommend.

I used card readers many years ago but find it much easier to just plug my cameras into my PC via the supplied USB cable...

I prefer card reader to plugging the camera into the computer. However, I have need to read cards that are not from cameras. I have many devices that use memory cards.

I have been using An IOGEAR multi card reader for about 6 years still going strong and a Lexar for my CF card for 8yrs. The Lexar cost approx $20 The IOGEAR was about the $16 I have found no need for a "Better" more expensive reader.The only reason for the multi reader was My sd slot was a bitch to get to on my iMac.

Maybe overkill. Check this one out for about half the price. It is all metal and also made by Sandisk. I have this and it works well.

Quite honestly, I think it’s overkill. And there’s no slot for CfExpress. I’d look at the Anker hub line and a combo card reader for close to half the cost.
