hi welcome to my channel this is the review of the rocket tech 4 slot USB 3.0 card reader I've had this for about two weeks now been playing around with it a lot and we are going to be looking at the pros and cons of the build itself why I like it why don't like it and will be also looking at it's on a computer to just you know to compare speed to as as in comparison to other you know card reader how it compares when you're using it in a 2.0 port or 3.0 port so we'll get right into it okay so right away we'll get started first of the pros is the fairly small and compact this is a really small you know card reader for being a false flat card reader it's really fairly small I mean it's not a smallest out there but it's not huge - it's easy to carry around so I would say that's a good thing then other good thing is you know the port covers these guys right here you know keeps everything dust from you know going in here or going getting into here and not that much cuz this is a hole here right yeah it kind of covers it except for these slots right here those are not covered but at least these are covered and this also it helps you cover this card in here so you can leave it in there like you know almost all the time if you're not going to use it in your in your camera or whatever you use your cards for and it just kind of makes it turn into a thumb drive or a flash drive if I might say or whatever you call it so that's a good thing the other good thing is the activity indicator so if you put it in a computer this will light up and it will let you know if something is going on on and I could also say that it's a good design I mean one of the reasons I got it kind of looks really really cool it's not the best but I like the design it looks it looks great I like it it also has the touchable USB cover so it's a good thing so if you don't want it on you can still you know take it off and still looks beautiful if you if you like it like that so if you want even more smaller I guess that's you know there for you but I like this one so I think I'm gonna leave that on and another thing is the strap the neck strap loop so you can put in your you can put a loop in here or whatever and just you know cut it around in your neck if you're into that that's excuse me that's an option for you right there you can just put your I can put a strap in here and then you are good to go so that's another thing and the last thing is I think it's really fairly economical I mean you know cheap it's not that you know highly priced it's a good bargain so now the cons for this thing first and I think the only one is this cover here yeah it just comes off just like that and as you can see it doesn't really stay in place so if I put it here and I instead of it you know staying there pretty tight he's really really loose just doing that just takes it off it doesn't quite stay in place so that's a really big thing and what's funny is that you have the loop on here which means this if this is to fall off you've lost your card so that's something to watch out for is not really strong like you know and I kind of like it on here but that's a that's not a good thing and that's mainly it for the physical part of this card so I'll get to test it out onto the computer and see how it compares to my internal card reader so let's get to that this is the card that we are going to be using for this test and this one is the card reader that we are going to be you know comparing the Warka tech to because is what I have so I already have the card into the internal card reader that I just showed you so we'll go ahead and open that up this is the file right here that we are going to be you know transferring around to see how each one does and this is how big it is it's a tool I will set two and a half games so I have a folder here I'll just make another one right here that we can use so we are going to transfer stuff from that card which is in my internal card reader onto the computer so let's see you know how what speed it reads it act there so as we can see it's reading at 18 19 18 19 so the average is 18 megabytes per second so he jumps in between 18 19 18 19 but mostly 18 I'm going to for this a little bit so we don't sit here and wait forever although I think it's going to be about two minutes right here it says so I'm going to fall this a little bit okay I'm back so this is about 90% done and it's been going 18 19 but mainly 18 that's the speed it's been going at 18 megabytes per second and it's done that took about two minutes to I mean two and a half minutes for for it to fit to do all that and that's my regular card reader 2.0 speed internal so I'm going to go ahead and switch the card and put it right back into the rocket card reader but I'm going to put the rocket egg into a 2.0 speed port onto my computer okay so I went ahead and put the card into the rocket egg and I place the rocket egg into a 2.0 USB port onto my computer so I'm going to go ahead and delete this file get it out of here too and get the same file and put it on here by this time we are using the rocket tech in a 2.0 point-to-point or port and right away we can see the difference this is running at 40 megabytes per second as in you know compare it to like it's about to just a little over two times faster that's a good thing you know last before he was saying yeah it's going to take about two minutes but it's just 45 he started at 45 so and he's going at 40 I mean that's a huge difference right away like it's not even in a 3.0 it's just in a 2.0 a 2.0 USB port so you can see the difference right away that's really cool I would say I mean it's good even if you're using it just writing a 2.0 it's better than you know the regular ones so as you can see it stays pretty much at forty 1.2 megabytes per second most of the time so you can right away see the difference but that's not the end let's go ahead and pull delete this one go ahead and delete that and put the card into the three point or reader I mean a 3.0 port on to my computer so let me go ahead and do that okay so I went ahead and moved the card reader into a 3.0 port and I'll get back to the file and move it and see how fast you're going for be any different from having in there 2.0 let's go ahead and do that and yeah as you can see from a 441 megabytes per second to 68 I mean 60 yeah 68 that's different that's that's good I would say that's good and the card that I'm using is rated for 40 megabits per second does his feel but this is forcing it to run at 68 I would say that's a good thing I like it so yep that was you know about 10 seconds right there so I hope this really gave you some idea of what to expect from getting this card and you know help you make decisions that's been it for this video please make sure you subscribe to my channel like the video if it was helpful to you you know share it share it with friends and if you have any questions at all you can leave them in a comment section below and I will get right to them and you know give you some answers if I have and I will see you in my next video
