Review: They are very reliable and fast - We have two of these. They are very reliable and work great. We use them at the racetrack to download our CF cards to edit the photos for our newspaper and site coverage articles.
Review: doesn't seem to overheat or get overly hot during use - Seems to work very well in my iMac desktop and MacBook Lappy. Transfer speeds are pleasantly fast using the usb 2 to usb c connection. I have had overheating issues with some cf Express B card readers using the double ended usb c connections with Mac systems. This one does not overheat or get overly warm when transfers are taking place. This unit is not heavy but it has some heft so it stays put on my desk without getting in the way of anything I am doing. I am finding it to be a solid purchase that works very well. I am a photographer and transfer hundreds of images at a time an have had no issues thus far.
