SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND

Usually card readers are like trasnparent devices... we use them b/c we ne need to copy stuff, we drag and drop and just leave them unattended until it finishes copying stuff.... well... that is b/c they are usually DAM* DOG SLOW... so, figured I'd give this Sandisk a shot... and sure enough... its blazing fast... Well.. not at first... So, make sure it is plugged to a true USB 3.0 port, and then check that the cable its also a true USB 3.0 cable, most cheapo A-to-C cables are NOT true 9-pin USB 3.0 cables, so performance will SUCK... as in < 30 MB/s ElSuck which is USB 2.0 trashland...Once you sort that, this thing will peg the USB 3.0 port to 500 MB/s burst on my NAS (an older Broadwell E5 Xeon with a C612 mobo...) but then it will quickly fall down to whatever the SD card can read... some cards will reach well over 200 mb/s sustained, others much less.. anyhow, so unless you have a very old card this thing will deliver.Again, MAKE SURE your cable is a TRUE USB-3.0 cable... especially when using A-C adapters or using cables that are A-to-C just make sure the device is operating at USB-3.0 speeds.This Sandisk also works on an older computer with Windows 7, not that many people care these days... but figured I'd share.

Worth every penny. Stays super cool because of the aluminum enclosure, has great transfer speeds, and I love that i can use the card slots simultaneously if I want to transfer content from one card to another.Typical SanDisk quality that will last me forever. Or until the onset of UHS-II cards starts being more practical. I also love how this looks just sitting under my All-In-One HP PC. Just a short USB C cable to connect it, so it stays uncongested and looks really neat and OCD.But I bought it for fast transfer speeds and the ability to keep my cards cooler during transfer. I feel like I got my money's worth and couldn't be ANY happier. This should last me for many, many years to come 🤞

Love it. Plug and play. Built like a tank.

I like to screen my GoPro footage from the card before copy it to my laptop to avoid storing useless videos. Playing videos from my laptop card reader was super choppy and slow. Playing the video from this card reader is perfectly smooth and fast. I also did a test copy from my laptop card reader to my hard drive and it took 45 seconds at 27 mbs. This card reader ripped through it in 5 seconds at 145 mbs. Super happy with the performance.

Solid performance. Built sturdy.

I use this with my photography business and it has not let me down. Built very well! Highly recommended!

Do a search for "SD Card reader". It's pretty much impossible to find one without a short USB cable integrated into it. That's fine if you want to plug it into a laptop, but my computer is under my desk, and I want to use one of the fast ports on the back.For a long time, I was using one of those readers, but had to plug it into a USB hub. Which resulted in having to wait 45 minutes + to get footage off of my FX30's SD cards after a couple of hours of filming.But this solves the issue. I can have this on my desk with a decent USB C cable that can go right into a USB 3.2 port, and my footage is on in a fraction of the time.It's well made too. If you don't use a laptop, this is the SD Card reader to get.
