 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 USB 3 read and write speeds. So there you go. So it supports SD, SDHC and SDXC, compact flash, micro SD, micro SDHC, micro SDXC, M2, MS Duo, okay, so this is all good stuff. And it comes with an included super speed USB 3 cable. So why don't we open this baby up? This is the FCR-HS3, or as I will call it, USB 3 card reader, because that's what I need it to do. FCHS3, sure, why not. Alright, and it comes in that impossible to open style of clamshell packaging. It 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 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 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 USB 3 interface. So remember, USB 3 cables, while backwards compatible with the USB 3 ports on your computer, so you can, oops, wow, just whacked the camera. Way to go, Linus. 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 make contact with those front 4 pins. But if you plug it into a USB 3 port, there's actually 5 more pins at the back that it will make contact with, and that's what's going to give you that extra power and extra transmission speed that you need for USB 3 devices. So there you have it. That's my unboxing of the Kingston FCR-HS3 USB 3 flash card reader.
