This B&H Kit combines the Lexar Professional Workflow HR2 4-Bay Thunderbolt 2/USB 3.0 Hub with the Lexar Professional Workflow 512GB Data Storage Drive. Compatible with Windows and Mac, this kit includes 512GB of removable data storage that may be used separately or directly integrated with the Workflow HR2 Hub. While this kit is designed to take advantage of Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 transfer speeds, it is also backwards compatible with Thunderbolt and USB 2.0.
The Lexar Professional Workflow HR2 4-Bay Thunderbolt 2/USB 3.0 Hub is a 4-bay hub that supports Lexar's Professional Workflow line of USB 3.0 storage drives and Thunderbolt 2/USB 3.0 card readers that are compatible with SDHC/SDXC UHS-I and UHS-II, CompactFlash UDMA 7, XQD, CFast 2.0, and microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I cards. You can connect this hub using either Thunderbolt 2 or USB 3.0 technology, as well as add up to four flash-based storage drives to this hub and store transferred files. However, even if you connect this hub to the computer with Thunderbolt 2, the drives and readers will still operate at USB 3.0 speed. However, because Thunderbolt 2 supports a faster overall speed, you can use all four devices in the bay simultaneously, without suffering any degradation in transfer speed.
The Lexar Professional Workflow 512GB Data Storage Drive is a flash-based storage drive that can be used solo or added to a Professional Workflow hub to quickly and easily store transferred files. Leveraging USB 3.0 speeds, the drive provides read transfer speeds up to 450 MB/s and write transfer speeds of up to 245 MB/s. It offers high-capacity 512GB storage, so that you have the space to back up large media files. The drive also comes with LED capacity indicators, so that you can see available storage space at a glance.
The configurable structure of the hub allows users to insert a variety of card reader types or storage based on personal needs. Please note that that this kit does not include any card readers for SDHC/SDXC, microSDHC/microSDXC, CompactFlash, CFast 2.0, or XQD cards. However, Lexar-compatible card readers that support these card formats, as well as the Workflow HR2 Hub, are available and sold separately.
