    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.

    I bought this SD card reader to read camera image files from my camera's SD card. I typically shoot in both RAW and JPG, so I end up with some large files (the RAW are about 28 MB). The reader is faster than any other SD card reader I've used. I get fast enough speeds when I am reading the files off (not posting numbers since they are highly system dependent); however, I can read off 100s of files and the reader maintains the same speed for all of them. I can also browse the JPGs on the SD card quickly - the files come up immediately like the are on a local disk.
    This SD card reader is designed to stay plugged into the USB-C port. When you eject the SD card you do NOT have to disconnect the drive from the USB port. This is what I needed (there are others out there that do require the reader to be disconnected)
    I like that the case is solid aluminum. I don't know if it has an impact on the performance, but it looks and feels quality.
    So it may be more expensive compared to other readers, but so far it has been totally worth it to me.

    If you buy a cheap card reader it’ll do the job just as good as this one. But eventually it will break and you’ll have to buy a new one unless you’re very gentle with it. Most card readers are cheap pieces of future trash. This is the premium option so you can skip that problem.

    I don’t think it should cost as much as it does. 60$ max and 50$ would be the sweet spot. That being said, as far as I’ve seen this product has no competition. I thought it would be bigger. The photos I’ve seen make it look massive, which to some degree made the price seem justifiable. It’s not big. My phone is bigger. It doesn’t take up much space at all. But it’s got a little weight on it, and a small light when it’s in use. It was worth the money. it comes with type C to type C, I bought a longer type c to type A and it works fine. If you’re spending money on your camera and buying good Lenses, upgrade your card readers too.

    Have tried several card readers, but this is by far the fastest I have tried and by a pretty large margin. More than twice as fast as some other readers - there are in depth reviews available online if a person wants all the numbers.

    Very well built, high quality materials and it feels that way as well - it's overkill for a card reader, really - but that's not a bad thing, right?
