I'm a real estate photographer and drone operator and I was having so many problems with downloading all the 4K Drone videos for YouTube from my card to my computer.Also , the 50 megapixel pictures that the drone was putting out, That I thought I was gonna need a new computer, and I had this one built for video and photography editing. I got this card reader and it completely changed the speed of my downloads, not a problem at all, no stoppage, no glitches. Best thing ever! Like I always have said, this is my go to store for everything.Thanks B&H
