Review on πŸ’¨ High-Speed XQD Card Reader USB 3.0 - Fast Data Transfer for Sony G&M Series XQD and TF/SD/SDHC Cards by Aaron Collins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lost connection to PC - hangs during file transfer

I have a new PC with decent specs for 4K editing and this USB reader keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to the PC. To make matters worse, removing the card sometimes rebooted my computer (yes, I removed the card using the software beforehand). Another problem when transferring files was that the transfer rate seemed to be high and then stalled for 10-60 seconds without transferring - weird, almost like it was running ahead of the hard drive with the XQD card. Due to a crash and poor transfer speed, I replaced the device with another XQD card reader. Same computer and everything and had no crashes and consistent file transfer speeds compared to stop and go. So for me this device didn't work at all - the potential was there because it had a lot of features that I wanted. I want it to work!
