SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II Reader

New type card reader

As the price of high-speed UHS-II cards has fallen, they have gone from being a luxury to a professional necessity. New memory cards required modern card readers capable of providing the necessary speed.

One of these is the SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II, whose maximum read speed is a cosmic 500 MB / s. However, for this to happen, several conditions must be met, including the presence of a fast memory card and a hard drive capable of reading data at such a speed. In reality, these figures will be kept at the level of 250 – 300 MB / s for reading and 190 MB / s for writing, depending on the memory card.

Reading at maximum speed

And it's still very, very fast. Large archives of RAW photos and "heavy" 4K videos are transferred in just a matter of minutes. After such an experience, returning to UHS-I memory cards is literally physically painful.

Compact size

As for appearance, the SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II looks as discreet as possible and resembles a familiar flash drive. The card reader works via USB 3.0 interface and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. However in the latter case, the data copying speed will noticeably slow down. Of the memory cards, only the SD family is supported.

All in all, the SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II is the perfect choice for professional photographers, cameramen and vloggers who value speed first and foremost.
