" ... Hi Anker, this was working fine for a month or so, then suddenly, any SD card I put into it becomes write-protected. ... When I try the same SD cards with other SD card readers, they work fine (read & write). ... "

" ... It works great but my SD card is not transfering at the speed it says it can. ... "

" ... The SD card shows spec transfer speed at ~90MB/s using this reader at the "good" USB 3.0/3.1 ports. ... "

I've been pulling the max speeds for my SD card from this (60MB/s write, 86MB/s read), which is greater than the USB 2.0 theoretical limit of 60MB/s, therefore this does indeed seem to be operating at USB 3.0 speeds. ... You can safely ignore the extra empty drive that shows up if you're only using one card. ... "
