This little reader works like a champ! Easily recognized by Win 10 Pro on my new Alienware R3. Yes, you can transfer files between the SDHC and micro cards, as well as to and from the PC (or laptop). 3.1 C pretty well makes this reader as future proof as anything can be. For those of us with no onboard reader, it is a 'must.' Small, lightweight, and well-built, who could ask for more? Cable Matters obviously had this reader constructed to their specifications, as it is the most compactly functional USB reader/writer out there. The embossed case and inclusion of a serial number testify to this not being another re-labeled, mass-produced import. Good things do come from China, and this is one of them. I would buy this again but it will probably never need to be replaced, it looks that fine.
Speed? Well, at USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt capable, MUCH faster than any existing card and when invented, may even become a HS serial port adapter to boot. And speaking of booting, I may try to use an SDHC as an alternate OS intallation. Who (besides The Shadow) knows?
Oh, BTW, you insert the cards face down, with the contacts up. Very thoughtful design because you automatically inspect the contacts for integrity and debris while inserting and removing them. Nice feature, Cable Matters.
