### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo prodotto!
*by F***) on 4 February 2025*

Costa un pò ma cm al solito, se costa di più è perchè è stato Prodotto come si deve. Ho avuto un lettore prima di questo che mi era costato €8,99. Mezza cinesata. Mi è durato nel tempo, ma a livello costruttivo, si era dimostrato una cinesata! Questo Lettore invece si è dimostrato essere di qualità. Basti pensare alla differenza di prezzi, l'altro che ho reso €8,99, questo costa €24,11! Una "Piccola" differenza eh? Questo lettore costa di più ma credetemi, vale il prezzo pagato! Funziona, molto più solido di quello che avevo prima e di cui ho fatto il reso! StarTech.com, un Marchio da tenere bene in considerazione!! ;-)
