Item has been for sale for 3 yrs with ~600 reviews mostly 5 star, but of the 45 that gave 1 star almost half in last 3 months - Quality Issue ?

Your question made me nervous, so I got the card out and put it in my office p.c. It was not recognized and would not open. Guess I'm going to join the 45 and not even give it a 1. I'll have to see if I can change my recommendation. Glad you brought it up before I downloaded more photos.

Make it 46... after buying dozens of card readers that would die in one week of use, I bought one of these last year that works perfectly. So I decided to get another one of this as a backup last month, and the new unit died in one week!!! The old one is still good though. So I agree with you that there is probably a bad batch of them and who knows how long will it last.

Mine has been working fine for at least a year. I like the blue indicator lite. I use it to down load Video/Pictures from my R/C quadcopters. Works fine.

I don't know if there are quality issues with the product, but the one I purchased still works fine. Could it be operator error? You do have to have a card in the reader for your computer to recognize it. The reader is just an interface between the card and computer, nothing more.

Mine was dead out of the box too. Extremely frustrating! I wouldn't chance it.

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

If you look at the comments from 2011 & 2012, you will see if there are problems with this product. On the other hand, if you look at the comments made in the past year or so, the product is perfect, suddenly. You have to wonder if these are true reviews or those manufactured by the manufacturer. Possibly, they changed the material of the product itself and improved it. I found another product that works well and has given me no problems. http://www.rangekleen.com/index.php?cPath=13_315

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

I have had mine for a few months with no problems so far. At this rate, I'm pleased with the product.

Mine seems fine. Have you tried to reach the seller? Other than returning the product if you felt it was old, I do not know what you can do.

I've had mine for three months now. No problems at all, it works perfectly.

I've had mine for a few years and no problems, perhaps you got a lemon, I would get it exchanged or ask for a refund.

I haven't found this to be an issue because this is my 3rd purchase. I would say to be sure you purchase from a seller that has good reviews in this area.

I haven't had this issue, I would suggest getting in contact with the seller.

I have not had a problem with mine yet...It has worked fine since I purchased it a few months ago.

I had no problem with mine. But you can never say something is good even if it is new.

Hmm....no. I would file a complaint and either ask for a refund or for a new one. Make sure to rate their services and be honest. They hate bad ratings, so they'll try to provide good customer service.

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

I did not have a problem. I received my product with a clearly marked expiration date--it was a least a year, maybe year and a half, out.

I am also curious. I received mine a few days ago, and haven't had any problems... whats the deal?
