Performance

First of all, there is no any official information about read & write speed of this card reader. So it was necessary to test this card reader properly. Honestly, I got a quite good read speed on this card reader, compared to my laptop’s default reader, thank’s to USB 3.0 technology.

I tested this card reader using Sandisk ultra-class 10 SD card (Max 48MB/S) on my windows 10 powered laptop. I am getting the average read speed of 40-48 MB/s using TAG PRO USB 3.0 reader. And this quite good speed compared to my laptop’s default SD card slot. You can get more speed than this if you have an SD card with higher speed then my.

The write speed of this card reader is also good. It gives almost 12 MB/S write speed. Please note, the write & read speed depends on your operating system, computer configuration, and your card type. So you might get more speed or less than this. It all depends on your computer and SD card.

The TAG PRO USB 3.0 is compatible with all OS, including Mac OS X 10.5+ as well as Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10. Yes, it is possible to read and write multiple cards at the same time in the TAG PRO, but this will slow the overall transfer rate.

Final word

Overall, I am quite happy with the TAG PRO USB 3.0 card reader. If you’re just looking for a simple card reader around 500 Rs for transfer your photos and file once a week, then this reader would suit your needs. However, it depends on your use. I don’t recommend this card reader for provencal photographer and filmmaker.
