Only 60MB/S on UHS-II cards

Nice quality but low transfer speed on UHS-II make it useless. Unfortunately I damaged the packaging and can’t return it.
It's a UHS-II card reader....

..... it reads UHS-II cards. It's not fancy. It's a little metal brick. Be sure to use the cables it comes with though. They are high speed cables and using your typical cell phone cable will drag the speed way down. Used correctly, it's quadrupled how fast I can strip down and SD Card and I like that.
