Buying one of these external USB memory card readers are not very expensive but can be very frustrating if they are of poor quality and end up not being worthwhile at all. Here are some tips before buying.

The speed of the USB type makes a huge difference. Make sure it has USB 2.0 and not anything else. This means that it uses the second generation of USB technology and that it is a fast connection between your device and your laptop. Normally the type of files that you want to access on a memory card is photos, video and other media. These types of files are normally very large and if you have slow USB connection you are going to sit around for ages to wait until the download finishes for your files to reach your computer.

Because of the fast connection of USB 2.0 you can also edit files on the memory card without having to copy the file to your computer as well. This can also save you a lot of time.

Also ensure that the memory card reader support various formats of memory cards  like TF, SD, MS, and MMC Cards and not only one type. The whole idea of a memory card reader is to support all the memory cards that your devices use. This will make this a product that you can use for all and not need to buy other readers in the future.

When buying online from a dealer make sure that their website is secured. If you are on a page where you have to enter payment details the address bar on the top of your browser, where it says the website your on should have https and not http. This states that the website has a SSL certificate and that it is safe to use. A good supplier that I can recommend is IBD Gadgets. They have a safe and secure website and sell high quality products.

The supplier must have reviewed the product to ensure it is of high quality. A good supplier does this with all their products and this will also be another thing that ensures good quality of your product.

I know these product are normally no too expensive but I can be very frustrating to use a product that is slow and of poor quality. Rather spend a dollar or two more for a better quality product and rest assure that every time you use it you will be satisfied and actually amazed that such a cheap product can work so well.

Hope this article helped you in finding your next memory card usb reader and saved you a lot of frustrations and problems by getting a better product that works and that is worth it to have. A good quality product is just so much easier and they still can come at a great price.
