Works on Mac / PC with no issues. Logs into all gov websites without a problem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Plug and play! *by K***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023* The CAC Smart Card Reader is a must-have for anyone who works for the government, especially those in the military. As someone who is not a computer expert, I found this reader incredibly easy to use. Even with my older laptop, I had no issues with compatibility, and both my cards worked seamlessly.This reader is an excellent investment, especially for those who require quick and easy access to government resources. Its reliability and compatibility make it a great buy, even if you're working with older equipment. Overall, I highly recommend the CAC Smart Card Reader. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Customer Service!!! Please Read!! Important Use Instructions Enclosed. *by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015* [UPDATED REVIEW]Wow!! After writing the below one star review Saicoo contacted me to make it right. They credited me the amount of the damage SD card so I could get a replacement and sent me another unit to try out. I don't have to tell you how rare it is to find a company that will do that. They deserve your business.IMPORTANT TECHNICAL UPDATE: The card reader works fine, the problem is there are no instructions and the stencils on it are difficult to understand. That is why my micro SD card got stuck, it was oriented incorrectly. DO NOT insert a micro SD right side up (pins down) in the end port or it will get very stuck.I suggest that Saicoo change the stencil on the side to show pins on the SD card icon and change the stencil on the back to show pins on the Micro SD card icon. This would correct the confusion.Here is the correct way to insert the cards:SD Cards:Must be inserted in the side port upside down (gold pins up).Must be inserted in the end port right side up (gold pins down).Micro SD cards:Must be inserted in the side port right side up (gold pins down). Note: about half of the Micro SD sticks out.Must be inserted in the end port upside down (gold pins up) Note: it goes in very deep and only 1/8" of the Micro SD sticks out.<<<>>>Original Review: This product is flawed, poor design or bad QC. I didn't even get a chance to see if it worked. I opened the package gently inserted my new 64 GB micro SD in the end and that was it. It was stuck, as if it had been glued in and could not be removed. I was so concerned about removing it that I forgot to even plug it in and see if it worked. To make a long story short the $20 micro SD card was destroyed (along with my personal files stored on it) while trying to get it out; it broke into pieces.Afterwards, I did try the other ports. The side Micro SD port accepted the broken Micro SD without jamming, both standard SD ports (end & side) took the SD adapter without jamming, but the end port is not properly aligned with the hole and is deeper than the side one causing the card to get jammed.I will contact Amazon returns for a refund for this reader, but what can I do about the $20 Micro SD that was destroyed because of it? Saicoo should cover the damage that their product caused.<<<>>> --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/30749422-saicoo-smart-card-reader-dod-military-usb-common-access-cac](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/30749422-saicoo-smart-card-reader-dod-military-usb-common-access-cac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
