This isn't made clear in the manual, so if you wire it up and something doesn't work, make sure you connected both power headers. The SATA powers the pair of USB power only ports, while the Molex powers the USB3 hub.

In order to get full functionality you (slightly annoyingly) need to connect *both* of these, thereby causing more case wiring than you might like.

It isn't made clear in the manual but these *aren't* an either/or proposition. There are two power connectors on the back, an SATA and a Molex passthrough. Also contrary to another review, the USB3 ports *are* fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0 drives, everything works just as it should. Front panel is a nice glossy brushed aluminium finish. The review bit: This is a well made box based on a Genesys Logic G元522 hub and a Realtek RTS5301 card reader. So this is partly a review, and partly some things that should have been in the instruction manual, but aren't. Make sure when mounting a CF card you insert it square to the face of the reader.the pins inside the CF slot look quite long and prone to damage if you insert the card at an angle.
CF cards especially stick out quite some way, somewhere in the region of 25mm, just make sure a card won't get bumped or caught while mounted in the reader Ģ/. Only other things to watch out for with this reader:-ġ/. Theoretical transfer speeds are a scam and one step away from false advertising in my opinion.in theory my Ford Focus RS can do anwhile, in the real world.sure you get my point.Īll of that ansferring at the speed I get with this reader is still quicker than direct from the camera using the supplied cable.

Transferring from a 64Gb CF card Windows shows a transfer speed that tops out at around 120 Mb/sec! Quoted "theoretical transfer speeds" of up to 6Gb/sec from Akasa's own website are nowhere near what you'll get. My biggest gripe with this reader is the file transfer speed. The fact that this reader also has 4 x USB 3 ports and two power charging ports is a bonus. At the time of writing (March '18) this card reader probably takes just about every popular type of card going.įor me, I wanted an internal card reader that would accept CF, SDXC cards, with a brushed aluminium facia to match the front of a Corsair Obsidian 800d case.
Solidly build, great looking card reader.
