'USB is the most popular connectivity option for PCs, and it's critical that
professional photographers and videographers have convenient and versatile
tools to maximize their workflow and fully leverage the performance of their
high-speed memory cards,' said Manisha Sharma, director of product marketing
for cards, Lexar Media. 'The Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader
combines extremely fast performance with a versatile, innovative design to
provide pro and hobbyist shooters with a reader that dramatically reduces image
transfer time. The speed offered by the reader enables users to move large
volumes of high-resolution images and HD video faster than ever, allowing them
to spend less time at the PC and more time on other activities.'

interface operates at 60MB per second*. The Lexar Professional USB 3.0
Dual-Slot Reader takes advantage of the performance of high-speed cards.
Real-world tests prove that today's high-performance cards can be read more
than six times faster with the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader than
with previous generation USB 2.0 card readers, and future high-performance
cards are likely to enable an even faster data transfer experience. The reader
can transfer content from both SD and CF cards simultaneously, and allows for
easy file transfer from one card to another. The USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader also
features an innovative, pop-up mechanism that lets users close the reader when
