The perfect SD card reader - watch the cable length
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020
I shoot a lot of video and find myself having to offload multiple high capacity UHS-II SD cards at a time. Every other card reader I've tried slows WAY down when offloading concurrent cards onto your computer. This is the first one I've found that doesn't.Offloading (2) 128GB Sony "M" cards, I'm getting a combined 480MB/s to my computer. This is close to the maximum rated speed of the cards and much faster than any other multi-reader I have ever used. Note that I am offloading to an NVME SSD with a very high write speed. Offloading to a slower SSD (or a mechanical hard drive) will result in much slower speeds.I received two cables with reader - USB 3.1 gen 1 A-C and a USB 3.1 gen 2 C-C. I am using the gen 2 C-C cable and getting the expected speeds to my computer.Be aware that these cables are only about 18.6" long and were intended for use with a laptop I guess. I found I could not extend the cable from my office desk to my computer tower, so I had to put the reader on top of the tower instead. Not an ideal solution, but the product works so well I don't care too much. A 3 foot long gen 2 C-C cable is about $16 if you decide you need a longer cable.If you're only offloading one card at a time, other readers are a better value. But if you need to offload fast cards at a time, this is by far the best option I've found.

The UHS-II card reader is seriously awesome! The case is nice... it is durable, attractive, heavy (which equals a quality build) and has a magnetic bottom to attach to a metal PC case.
Regarding performance. I tested this SD card reader with a Transcend V90 card and was extremely pleased with the performance. I'm confident this card reader will be able to max out all V90 cards' advertised read/write speeds when utilizing the proper USB port. The aforementioned card has an advertised read speed of 285 MB/s and write speed of 180 MB/s. I saw SUSTAINED read speeds of 282 MB/s and write speeds of 176 MB/s.
I tested the card reader with the following motherboards and their corresponding USB ports:
Gigabyte X570 USB 3.2 Gen 2:
282 MB/s read & 176 MB/s write
MSI B450 USB 3.1 Gen 2:
273 MB/s read & 172 MB/s write
MSI B450 USB 3.1 Gen 1:
274 MB/s read & 172 MB/s write
Asus Z97 USB 3.0:
264 MB/s read & 180 MB/s write
USB 2.0:
39 MB/s read & 39 MB/s write
The test was performed by cutting and pasting approximately one dozen 1 GB files from the SD card to the desktop and back to the SD card. My assumptions based on the tests is that any USB 3.1 Gen 1 or better will max out the V90 cards' advertised performance. What is interesting is the USB 3.0 write test sustained 180 MB/s better than any other port. There could be other variables though including chipset, CPU, etc.
Anyhow, this card reader is definitely worth it. I'm confident it is future proof regarding UHS-II standards.
