The flat, but fairly wide metal case is meticulously crafted, makes a robust impression and not heard visually certainly among the ugliest its class.
Technically, it provides the opportunity as I said UHS-II memory cards to address with full speed. Can be used for both normal SD cards and the smaller MicroSD cards, even simultaneously. The connection to the PC or the notebook is done by USB 3.0. A use the USB 2.0 port is of course also possible, the maximum data rate is then but the usually limited to 35 MB / s.
In practical use fall mainly first two things:
1. Depending on the interface device to PC / Notebook, neighboring ports can be blocked by the extra wide housing. This small disadvantage can be circumvented by a USB 3.0 extension.
2. The case barely heats up in sporadic operation, the permanent transfer after some time felt, but without assuming alarming proportions.
Data transmission I've tested with a Toshiba EXCERIA Pro UHS-II (16GB), an integral INSDX646G10-95 / 60U1 UltimaPro SDXC (64GB) and a Transcend microSDXC (64 GB) under Windows with AS SSD. In addition, I have the Toshiba UHS-II card also checked with ATTO.
Test Results
Toshiba EXCERIA Pro UHS-II (16GB)
Read: 182.5 MB / s (AS SSD), 214 MB / s (ATTO)
Writing: 47.4 MB / s (AS SSD), 205 MB / s (ATTO)
Integral INSDX646G10-95 / 60U1 UltimaPro SDXC (64GB)
Read: 86.03 MB / s
Letter: 57.37 MB / s
Transcend microSDXC (64GB)
Read: 85.4 MB / s
Writing: 54.9 MB / s
Conclusion:
With the correct memory card slot in the transmission rates of over 200 MB / sec are no problem. Moreover, like processing, features and price. If you like working with the fastest possible memory cards, should the Kingston MobileLite G4 Multi Card Reader in any case, look at it. In my opinion, highly recommended.
