RoySmith Posted January 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a new MacBook Pro which only has thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. I purchased a Sandisk EXTREME PRO SD UHS-II CARD USB-C READER for it. My daughter is accompanying me on an upcoming trip so I needed a CF card reader for her camera and purchased a Faracent 3 in 1 USB-C Card Reader I thought I would do a read speed comparison with the two. For the test I copied 53 GB (1192 DNG files) from the card to the computer. The results are: Welcome, dear visitor!

If you are using a UHS-II card the UHS-II reader is significantly faster. If you are using UHS-I cards the difference is small. The Faracent reader feels okay in quality, but the Sandisk Reader feels very solid. I'll bring both on the trip.

Chuck Albertson Posted January 23, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2019 That SanDisk UHS-II reader is a cracker; I don't download nearly as many images, but the time relative to a UHS-I reader is a fraction.
