I've read a lot of reviews, some say it works well, some say it jams... If it jams, does that jam cause damage to the card itself? Thanks

We play a game using 5 decks with friends. We all have a one, and have never had it jam.

It does have an occasional jam but does no damage to your cards. I am happy with the one I have.

i haven't had any jams that damage cards. They are jams that are easily repaired. If your batteries are fairly new it works super.

Jeremie, I got mine about a month ago and for the most part it works well. I have found that if you do not put the cards in the top kind of neat and squared off you may have an issue of them getting shuffled against each other forming a steeple of cards in the tray. When that happens, you just stop and fix it. We have not had any bent or ruined cards to date. My grand-kids are the hardest on it and so far they only steeple the cards. I like the machine a lot - much better than the smaller version. Be sure you do not leave the whole stack of cards on the shuffle tray cause it may weaken the spring. I put the cards under the tray on the hard plastic. Hope that helps you out. Jeremie, I got mine about a month ago and for the most part it works well.

It jams sometimes, but it doesn't damage cards. It seems to be jamming more often lately. Any suggestions on how to prevent jamming?

I have found that the cards stop sliding into the middle part of the machine now and then but it is not a big deal, you just lightly touch the side that is not sliding into the middle and they start shuffling again. I have used it many times and love how it works. Such a minor glitch that is easily handled compared to having to divide up the cards and hand shuffle them to get well shuffled cards. VERY worth the cost. Oh, and this does NOT cause any damage to the cards at all.

I have not had a problem with paper jamming with this copier, I own two of them. But I took note that at the very outset, both copiers were guilty of crumpling the edge of documents being fed. I detected that aligning the documents edge to the right side of the feeder eliminated that problem. Overall, the copier is easy to use, time saving, copy & printing quality is great, one or two instances of paper jamming over a two months period which I consider to be normal. Hope I was able to assist.

I actually had the same issue at first, wasn't a big deal for me tho, however it seemed like after I put my cards in the slots it started turning off. Might have been a coincidence tho because since then I tried taking then off and still works so not sure what really fixed it

Had ours now for almost a year. No problems but share in your concern. It seems very easy to damage since that is the access for the SD card.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

i used it with several different cards didnt have any problems with the cards but the device failed completely after about a week i returned it.

Have never had a problem with the card. Write speed is more than adequate for video and quick response for stills as well. I have several of these and get good use from them.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

Mine has jammed up when I tried to. It can take the card separately with no problem, though.

it does run hotter than most cards. It is made to withstand hotter temps as well but the downside it gets can get loud when under heavy load.

I am using a Kingston card and have no problems at all. I haven't used others so can't say how they would work. For phones, cameras, and other things I have used Kingston and SanDisk and have never had problems with either. For legal purposes like having proof in an accident, any size card is good really but 16 and 32 gb might be overkill but I am using a 16 since it is cheap enough and why not... Remember to not get a class 10 or higher as all I have read is it won't work properly. I have a class 4 and it works just fine.

I am afraid I can't answer that. All I can say is that it is a strong mid range low profile card. Under heaviest loads, in small form factor boxes, it will heat up. For my purposes - to deal with this I added extra fans and moved the power supply outside the box. Obviously I am a fanatic - and work to keep my system components running under listed normal ranges.

J.E., I have used this card reader with Windows 7 and, up to now, have not experienced any issues. I hope this helps.

Send it back. I have music on the card and the player and haven't had an issue.

The bigger the card you put in it, the longer the "refresh" cycle takes every time you add or delete anything. As a matter of fact, when you put a loaded card in, the first time you turn it on after that it will do a "refresh".

I have never had a problem with this card. That is to say, the card has played every game I throw at it. I only have an i3 dual core processor also. I think with a good processor and a decent amount of ram you will be satisfied. Also, I recently discovered that if you play through a tv with a 120 or better refresh rate then the frame rate will increase much.
