!!!2023 Update!!!: This thing must have been a complete flop. The upside is currently priced at Amazon for the main hub + USB-A/USB-C mini-hub for ONLY $49 USD!!!
Been watching a few of these videos and you actually addressed my concern about multiple cards transferring at the same time... ie: everything slows to less than just transferring one card at a time. Solution you might want to play with is TeraCopy (no I'm not shilling)... it can queue up your cards to transfer one after the other. The only fly in the ointment is that it will only queue things up so one card is downloading at a time. You don't benefit from the full transfer speed per mini-dock. There's ways to finesse it so worth having a play but figured I'd share that thought as I'm seriously considering how to improve my workflow for all my multi-cam video content.
This would be PERFECT if they: - Have "3-4" slots per module, for example two Micro-SD and one SD slot. The modules are FAR "too big" while doing so little. - Have more modules for different card types. Ridiculous they only provide SD and Micro-SD modules. - Fix the data being cut in half when using more than one slot at a time per module. - Add UHS-III support... This standard and cards have been out forever now, I don't get why you can't get a reader for it. So they would be really popular doing so. - Reduce the price some. We get it being more expensive, but make it more manageable. They might have to reduce the SIZE of the product some. If they do these things EVERYONE would want this product, it's so nice in all the other ways you indicated.
The problem is, Thunderbolt is only available under Intel CPU based machines, if you run a Ryzen machine, you are stuck with USB 3, or 3.2. I don't think that's the issue unless mistaken, more to do with how they implement the speeds with 2 card readers.
TB is also available for Ryzen platforms now depending on the motherboard, but that's not the problem in this particular model. I talked with Kingston and they said they said unfortunately it is what it is... :(
@@johnhpalmer6098 Actually Asrock and Gigabyte both make mobos for AMD that have thunderbolt ports on them. I just picked up a Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P and it has 2 thunderbolt ports on the I/O. I also heard that soon most of the mobo vendors will be coming out with X570 mobos with thunderbolt ports as version 2 of their current mobos.
@@theTechNotice Thank you. I did not know that as I am not in the position to built a fresh box but had heard of TB not being available for Ryzen users, let alone Threadripper users. Glad it's not becoming available, now to get the GPU graphics situation solved and we'll be golden.
