SD UHS-II Dual-Slot Memory Card Reader by ProGrade Digital | USB 3.2 Gen 2 for Professional Filmmakers, Photographers & Content Creators

I bought this to replace my 3.0 speed card reader and I’m glad that I did. It’s very sturdy and well-made, it’s about 25 or 30% faster than my previous version and has a nice magnet that attaches easily to my file cabinet, which was a bonus.

I would never have guessed that a simple card reader would make such a difference. Like many, I have basically half a drawer full of SD readers. When I heard about this one, and the transfer speeds possible, I had to get one. It's seems easily twice as fast as any other reader I have. While not a professional photographer, I take many photos of just about anything with 3 Nikon DSLRs. (6000 on a recent trip to Germany) Waiting while they import to Lightroom has always frustrated me. Not so much anymore. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it, if you value your time. It's a solid, heavy for it's size, device. Has 2 SD slots that show as 2 external drives, so if you need to move files between cards it's perfect. Uses a USB-C cable so you don't need something proprietary. The magnetic back is an awesome, yet simple touch, keeps it where you put it. Overall, I'd say buy one, then you'll believe it too.

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.

I went back and fort between this and other slower/cheaper card readers. I work with a TON of photos (a weekend I copy + cull about 10k photos) and due to the amount of images and large file size I shoot at, I needed a USB 3.2 Gen reader to help get the photos off my SD card. It's built really well, had no trouble connecting and I use it constantly with 0 issues.

I purchased this card reader after seeing the fstoppers review saying how fast it was. It is indeed much faster than my Lexar (the black square one). I was surprised that my Kingston (silver USB 3.0 multi reader) was only very slightly slower, which makes it the better value by quite a bit. That said, the Prograde reader does perform well, feels extremely well made, has a magnetic base that’s very convenient, comes with both USB-C and traditional USB cables, and even comes with a nice silver metal “sticker” so you can stick the magnet to anywhere you’d like, such as the lid of a MacBook Pro. It also has 2 SD slots, which is very useful for someone like me who shoots with 2 camera bodies often. Overall I’m happy with it, but if you’re looking for almost the same performance on a budget, the Kingston multi reader (ASIN: B00VAGX6MW) is hard to beat since it’s most of the performance for 1/3 the price... with only one SD slot.

This card reader comes with everything you need with USB a and USBC. The magnet is a really nice feature. Just make sure you don't use it too close to a hard drive or other device that magnets can disrupt. Amazing product a little bit pricey

Go for it… One of the best card reader

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 writeMSI B450 USB 3.1 Gen 2:273 MB/s read & 172 MB/s writeMSI B450 USB 3.1 Gen 1:274 MB/s read & 172 MB/s writeAsus Z97 USB 3.0:264 MB/s read & 180 MB/s writeUSB 2.0:39 MB/s read & 39 MB/s writeThe 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.
