I received this (black) yesterday and have the same issue. It disconnects and reconnects every a minute or so. I test it with two computers (one desktop and one laptop, both with windows 7) and also tried with two different micro sd cards (sandisk 1GB and sandisk 16GB). I guess mine is defective. I'm going to return it and get another one.

Same problem, I thought it was my memory card but then I tried the card in another reader, No problems. The elego disconnects and reconnects.I ran the crystal benchmark on 2 of my microsdhc cards. Much higher read speeds on the same cards in comparison to my other readers. I was surprised that the small file write scores showed that the Elgo reader was somewhat slower. Of course, it also disconnected and reconnected a couple of times.

I bought two of this item over a month ago with two identical Kingston 16GB Micro SD cards. One works fine and the other disconnect/reconnects every couple of minutes, similar to yours. I checked the micro SD cards, and they both work fine in the working Elago nano. So i wonder if it's luck of the draw or if this a constant issue with some of these units.

Hi Glen~ This Kingston USB 3,0 memory card reader is one of the best, if not the best card reader on the market! I have had issues with other models where the pins eventually became baent and were useless for CF cards. This card reader was well constructed. The CF cards are so securely and tightly held in the slot, thereby avoiding any movement which can potentially bend some of the pins. I absolutely endorse this product! The Kingston USB 3.0 is great with SD cards! Do check the reviews on Amazon!

This happened to me once. I just unclicked it from the surface nd reattached it than it worked. I guess it didn't connect correctly when I tried the first time and haven't had any problems since..it may also just be a defective one. Hope you get it fixed!

I concur with Joe's response. Some formats can occasionally become problematic for certain operating systems. Ive encountered zero issues in any capacity; however, my mobile formatted sandisk UHS 1, 64gb card was volitile with or without the reader; whereas, as aformentioned this may simply validate the importance of media format, i.e., FAT32, EXFAT32, EXT 3, EXT 4, etc.The card reader's ability to r/w via Usb 2.0 interface is as should be expected.... working and without concern. If your still wondering about purchasing, for what it is worth, this is the best reader I have ever used, beating out the RDCR-11003 74 in one internal card reader I bought from newegg last year.

I had already a Jessops USB Universal card reader that I used to read and transfer images from my 2 GB Memory Stick PRO, however later on I was not able to use it with my newly bought Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRPO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2. Does any one know if this card reader transfer photos and files from Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2? Any suggestion for any Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2 card reader please. Thanks.

Same problem, always Busy after taking the picture.I have the same card, the 16gb class 6 Trascend SDHC card, in fact I bought two of these and one of 8 GB same brand, I have 3 cards SandDisk Extreme that I use with my (now) old S2IS, I test with every card, and I have always the same Busy message after taking the picture. I am very sad, because that doesn't happen with the S2IS, same cards. I would say that it is not a Card problem but I don't know how to fix it. I tryed avoidig to use it the Auto mode, and the Busy dissapear in some othe modes, I can't figure out what is happening. I hope somebody out there help me. Thanks.

This Keyboard works brilliantly with my Surface Pro 2 (Windows 8.1). It's one of the best keyboards I've used. I prefer it to the Type Cover 2. My surface pro 2 occasionally (a few times in a month) disconnects and reconnects (in about 5 seconds) its Bluetooth connection to the keyboard AND my Bluetooth mouse. I'm pretty sure this is a Windows 8.1 issue that I hope Microsoft will fix.

same problam. no solution. even no replay from sandiskLook like that is a fatal bug in Sansa. If file transfer disturb in the middle (USB cable disconnect, etc..) that create corrupted files in the memory and player could not recognize those files. (very common thing with any USB device). But this player instead of skipping the file, keep on loop over same function.This product must recall.

I have a previous version of this reader (an 8-in-1), and have been using it with 2GB SD cards (SanDisk Ultra II) for a couple years now. I have also been using it with 2GB and 4GB CF cards (both SanDisk Extreme III) for over a year with no problems. I haven't tried it with 8GB cards, as I don't own any.Again, this is for the SanDisk 8-in-1 Reader, which, looking back through my records, I purchased for $26.84 from Amazon.com back in November, 2004.

When I tried to attach my Dane-Elec flash drive the tablet error message was "High Power USB Device Connected". The 30 pin connector cover and the wires came off when I removed it from my tablet. Check this out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jV7Q-48eY

"Has anyone run into issues while using other brands?" - I have fried two Sony memory cards and now after two years in the Phoenix AZ sun, just lost a Lukas brand name memory card. Temperature seems to be the weak point of third party SD cards. I'm sticking with Lukas labeled memory for the temperature spec that matches the camera.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Mine has been working great since I've received it. I would recommend this product to anyone. Have you tried a different USB port? Try asking for a replacement, the price is just too good.

Haven't heard of this before. I use a 3rd party reader and haven't had any problems, been using it with my 1000x 32gb as well as 800x 32gb.

Because the card reader is connected to USB and seen by the computer as a mass storage device .. no matter what type of card is inserted. When you do a safe to remove the computer disables the entire card reader. I use a card reader that plugs into one of the USB ports, so all I have to do is ... safe to remove ... then unplug it ... then plug it back in. Your dashboard is OK thats just the way it is .. inconvienent though. Regards, Fred

I've had trouble with my 20 GB iPod freezing up during running as well; when I called Tech Support, they told me that the problem was that the hard drive has a limited skip protection capability (+/- 20 minutes). Essentially, once I exceeded that buffer, the machine would shut down to protect the hard drive. I switched to the Shuffle and have had absolutely no trouble running with it (even used it on my first marathon!), once I got a neoprene cover to protect it from sweat. The Nano is flash-based like the Shuffle, rather than hard drive-based like the iPod, so it should be fine (though I haven't personally tested it yet).

no idea, I took this laptop on a motorcycle trip around the world. My friend also had the same laptop and both developed the same problems. First the SD card readers stopped working, and then they corrupted SD cards that we inserted. Then the USB sockets stopped working. This was a real pain on our trip, as it meant we couldn't off-load our photos onto the laptops etc.

My 2Gb nano that is just a few weeks old also freezes up. I had just synched it not that I think about it. I've had it freeze about two other times but when I did the reset it worked ok. This time, it will not even reset. I guess I have to let the battery run down because it is frozen with the screen fully lit up. I loved my last iPod but swore I would not buy another one because of the problems with the 20 Gb HD. I got another one because I thought with the flash memory I would not have as many problems. Rats.
