today I have something very useful from Kingston actually I was about to run
into my office and pull all the footage off of my camera and I found this on my
desk and it's a Kingston media reader with USB 3 so I'm actually using a super
fast SD card from Patriot in my camera
which means that I can take advantage of faster usb3 three uh read and write
speeds so there you go so it supports SD SDHC and SDXC compact flash M micro SD
micro SDHC Micro SDXC M2 Ms Duo okay so
this is all good stuff and it comes with an included super speed usb3 cable so
why don't we open this baby up this is the fcr
hs3 or as I will call it usb3 card
reader CU that's what I need it to do
fcs3 sure why not all right and it comes in that
impossible to open style of clamshell packaging which really gets my goat but
that's okay that's okay because I really need this right now and the timing is
excellent so there you go that's what the unit looks like this is this is
actually a really nice card reader check this out okay so it has kind of a glossy
finish on the bottom it's got all your card reader things here so it's it's um
it's angled see so you can still reach the bottom cards when you have something
plugged into the top one that's kind of nice that looks like it might be
activity lights or it might not hard to say or maybe the Kingston one is I don't
know at the back we've got our usb3 interface so remember usb3
cables while backwards compatible with
the usb3 ports on your computer so you can oops wow just whacked the camera way
to go lonus okay so what you can do is
this you can plug this guy here and then
you can plug that into a USB 2 port and it'll contact with those front four pins
but if you plug it into a USB 3 Port there's actually five more pins at the
back that it will make contact with and that's what's going to give you give you
that extra power and extra transmission speed that you need for usb3 devices so
there you have it that's my unboxing of the
Kingston fcr hs3 USB 3 flashcard reader
