Q: 5. I was given this reader as a gift,but when using it with my late 2013 mac pro and uhs-II cards or cards in general it is very slow. In fact my old non uhs-II reader is faster. Is there a solution for this?

A: Currently, using USB 3.1 cables and ports and UHS-II SD memory cards, is one of the fastest ways to transfer photos available. It is likely that your computer does not have USB 3.1 ports available so these high speeds will be slowed by the much slower computer and ports being used. Whichever is the slowest link in the chain will throttle all of the others to its speed.
