RecoveRx software

Unmatched Versatility

Featuring double card slots for both your SD and microSD memory cards, the RDF5 handles most of your daily needs for transfering data between your cameras, phones, and PCs.

Note: The reader does not support simultaneous insertion of SD and microSD cards.

Standard USB Type-A connector

Transcend's RDF5 card reader comes with a standard USB Type-A connector. Besides using it as a card reader, you can also use it as a USB flash drive on any desktop or laptop computers. Simply plug it in directly to the USB port of the computer.

Higher speeds, higher efficiency

Equipped with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, the RDF5 card reader shows amazing transfer speeds, much faster than what you'd get with USB 2.0!

Not only will the RDF5 handle your high-resolution images and videos with ease, but it also has an LED indicator to show card insertion and data transfer activity.

RecoveRx software

Transcend offers the RecoveRx software, a free data recovery utility that allows you to search deep within a storage device for traces of erased files including digital photos, documents, music, and videos.

Customers are satisfied with the speed of the memory card reader. They mention that it's incredibly fast, and the transfer speed is very high. They also say that it doesn't bottleneck the speed and allows them to load photos off their SD card far faster than their built-in PC did. The reader works with blazing fast USB 3.0 speeds and greatly improves the speed USB 2.0. It completes the transfer in 50 seconds and has saved them quite a bit of time.

Customers like the size of the memory card reader. They say it's small enough to take with them in their camera or computer bag, yet it takes up minimal space. They also say it is portable and easy to keep with them. The size of adapter is good and it is sleek enough to fit in-between everything else that's plugged in to the front.

Customers find the memory card reader easy to use. They say it's simple, convenient, and great for quick access to SD and microSD cards. Customers also mention that the adapter is straight forward and works properly. They describe it as a pretty no-nonsense device with just 2 slots.

Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the memory card reader. They mention it has a very nice design, it's sleek, and it looks sharp. Some appreciate the elegant package and the fact that it can handle full-size and micro SD cards. Overall, customers are happy with their purchase and recommend it to others.

"...Clean aesthetics, piano black glossy finish with a blue activity LED that is faint enough so that it does not bother...." Read more

"...Regarding the card reader itself, it's a very nice design. I love how compact it is. It's made entirely of plastic but doesn't feel flimsy...." Read more

"...I found this little gem from Transcend. I like the sleek black design with rounded corners...." Read more

201 customers mention74 positive127 negative

Customers are mixed about the card slots. Some mention that it's incredibly fast and has a slot for micro SD cards, while others say that the SD and MicroSD ports are open and could easily get dirty. The card slots are always open and exposed when no card is inserted in it. The USB slots are a bit recessed, so bear that in mind. Customers can only use either card port at a time, and it blocks the second USB 3.0 slot next to it.

"...It's a friction fit...." Read more

"...Yes, that's right ... 7 minutes. It's incredibly fast. And the slot for micro SD cards means that I don't need to have an adapter for the micro SD..." Read more

"...The only negative about this RDF5 card reader is that: it does not allow simultaneous usage of both SDHC and microSDHC slots...." Read more

"...It only supports one card at a time, so when I'm transporting it in my pocket with one card already in place, pennies and dimes will sometimes fall..." Read more

Got this years ago and it's still going great.
5 Stars
Got this years ago and it's still going great.
I've been using this regularly since I got it back in 2015 and it has been great for quick access to all my SD and microSD cards. I never expected huge transfer rates since these are usually due to the quality of the SD card manufacturer. I never did any benchmarks on it (until today) and it's not too bad for what it is.I only recently encountered an issue using this on Windows 11 where it would not read some of my cards. I thought maybe it was finally going bad, but then I checked the Transcend web page for this model (TS-RDF5K), and saw there was a firmware update (dated 2017-04-28). So I updated the firmware and voila. Everything started working again. :-)
