There are not a lot of external USB 3.0-equipped card readers out there. This means that users who require such a device do not really have much of a choice. While readers in the US may need to fork over a bit more money than their European counterparts, the card reader does deliver everything one could ask for. The biggest issue is actually the lack of really fast memory cards. At this time, professional users will grab the fastest CompactFlash- or SDHC units they can get their hands on, which the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader can easily handle. But users with this card reader should still be ready for technology progressing as it does, as they should still be able to get the most out of even faster memory cards once they become available. This is naturally only the case as long as the industry stays with the standards the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader is able to read. Couple that with a solid 5-year warranty and there is not much you should have to worry about.
