Introducing the MagicLink 4-in-1, touted as the fastest multi-card reader currently available and now seeking support through crowdfunding. Housed in sleek aluminum, this device promises impressive compatibility with various memory cards.
Memory cards, with their rapid data transfer speeds, often outperform traditional magnetic hard drives and can even rival SSDs. Enter the MagicLink 4-in-1, claimed to deliver top-notch speeds for multiple cards simultaneously, boasting an impressive maximum data rate of 2,790 MB/s. Such speeds make quick work of transferring large files, like high-resolution videos.
It’s important to note that the maximum speed is cumulative across all ports. Specifically, CFexpress Type B cards can reach up to 2 GB/s via a PCIe connection, while CFexpress Type A cards operate at half that speed. MicroSD and SD cards, following the UHS-II SD 4.0 standard, reach up to 300 MB/s.
Compact in design, the reader measures 105 x 50 x 30 millimeters and weighs 165 grams. It connects via Thunderbolt or USB-C and features both active and passive cooling systems. The crowdfunding campaign offers the device at a starting price of $119, with estimated delivery in November. As with any crowdfunding initiative, potential backers should be mindful of typical risks, including product delivery uncertainties.
The MagicLink 4-in-1 promises versatility with its four-card reader capacity, paving the way for efficient handling of various storage media formats.
