Image file size is 121mb, each, uncompressed raw! Yikes!
My original reader is an insignia I bought like 3 years ago. Wanted a new one for a project where the client would like on site image file transfer/delivery. Time is of the essence.
On (z690 motherboard) desktop pc:
Best buy's insignia reader (discontinued) transfer clocks in at about 41mbps. Took 15 mins to transfer 30gb. Sony's clocks in at 121mbps. Took about 5mins to transfer 30gb. Nice!
On my laptop:
Insignia reader craps out and fails to read entirely. Sony transfer rate comes in at about 245mbs! Took 2 mins to transfer 30gb!
The reader is solid built, never got warm and is a nice svelt size that's easy to carry around. It cost a lot but I couldn't be happier with this reader from Sony!
Does a device like this need to be this reliable and well built? Well....depending on your workflow, then yes.
This device is built to be thrown in a camera bag and improve workflow when switching out cards and doing editing out in the field.
And "out in the field" could be a full day of shooting (for fun or work), a full weekend vacation or a week long location shoot.
It's overkill at home, but for working out in the field, it's hard to beat

Reviewed in Singapore on May 5, 2021
It does get warm (but not hot), when in use. When simply plugged-into the computer without a memory card inserted, it does not heat up at all.
Tested and works perfectly with Sony CFExpress A Tough and ProGrade CFExpress A cards. Comes with a 1 foot usb-c to usb-c cord as well as a 1 foot usb-a to usb-c cord.
The usb-c cable provided was faulty and was causing slow read times at first. I thought it was the reader but after changing to another usb-c cable it worked flawlessly.
