Pros: Wires are long enough to reach in my full atx system. Simple to install if you know how to build a pc, lots of great i/o, and I love how it can be used to do things like mirror hard drives and do huge data transfers from one drive to another without opening up the case and all that. I do that stuff when I'm helping other people out quite a bit.
Cons: no usb-c port is a bummer, no m.2 ssd port is also a bummer, and how it doesn't come with the adapter cable to actually go from the 4 pin to a sata power to be able to do the hooking up of a hard drive externally is really a bummer too. Last complaint is that the cables on the inside are aren't all black, and the thing itself is really lightweight, not deep enough to use only my quick clips, and the fitment isn't exactly great. I've got 1/8" between the top of this card reader and the bottom of my cd drive. And the red light on the front is really bright.
Overall Review: I do digital cameras sometimes for work stuff because it's better than using my phone for 300+ pics in a day and popping in the sd card is better than waiting on a cable transfer. I also do some home studio stuff so all the additional usb ports are great. Plus the main thing is the connectivity for hard drives externally. Makes upgrading or giving files to a friend or making backups easier with spinny disc's or 2.5" ssd's. Plus it's a good way to use some of the additional headers your mobo might have. But it could have more stuff and fit better, although the price was right and I'm pretty happy.
