Namely, the ProGrade Digital Gold, Acer, Pro Master Pro Velocity Cine, and Pergear Ultra were slightly slower to fully clear the buffer than the other cards, meaning that a photographer in the field won’t be ready to fire another full burst quite as soon as they would be if they used any other tested card. Actual performance may vary based on memory card, host device, file attributes, usage conditions and other factors. The Sandisk Professional PRO-READER Multi Card is a fast SD card reader that also supports microSD and Compact Flash (more on which below). For the most part, these cards were all pretty consistent in their performance during our benchmarking with the exception of Acer and Atlas Pro, both of which were a lot more frenetic in how much they jumped from high speeds to low speeds during testing, which gives us pause recommending either for video workflows.

The Angelbird reader is also a very high-quality reader with an aluminum casing and comes with a USB-C cable and also a USB Type-A adapter. It’s also USB-C™ connected to use with the latest computers, and comes with a half-meter USB-C™ cable for gUSB-C™ reater flexibility. You have to have to apply your own rubber padding to the bottom of this reader that it comes with, and it also comes with some cable management wraps. With USB Type-C Gen2 speeds* the SanDisk Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Reader optimises the performance of the CFexpress card Type B(1) for smooth, efficient workflow from location to post production.The smaller size of microSD means that you can get away with a smaller reader, such as the Lexar Multi-Card 2-in-1 USB 3. A majority of the cards we tested were able to sustain more than 400 MB/s transfer speeds, with only ProGrade Digital’s Gold series and Acer falling below that threshold.

We then filled the cards at more than three-quarters of each of their capacities and tested the speed again to make sure that adding data to the cards does not affect performance. Thіѕ саrd rеаdеr іѕ соmрасt, hіghlу durаblе аnd рrоvіdеѕ іmрrеѕѕіvеlу fаѕt rеаd ѕрееdѕ, аllоwіng уоu tо gеt уоur рhоtоѕ оr vіdеоѕ аѕ ѕооn аѕ уоu рlug-іn. Our framework was simple, create a stand-alone CFexpress Type B card reader that could offload files at unrestricted speeds, adapt to an on-the-go workflow, and offering a rock-solid build and stability in any situation. s) from both cards simultaneously - you can spend more time creating and less time waiting on downloads.

But if you're dealing with multiple larger cards you might/likely want every bit of speed you can get.

Luckily, sustained burst gives us back a lot of the information we lost by removing the sustained transfer test mentioned above.The best performer goes to Delkin’s Black Series and Lexar’s Diamond series, with the latter edging the former out just slightly. One, it allows older cards to perform better when connected to a host computer than before simply because of more bandwidth. HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories.
