Lexar Professional Workflow Card Reader and Drive Hub Review

Test Procedure

Test system:

• Gigabyte Z79X UD5H-BK
• Intel Core i7-4790K
• Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2400MHz
• Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB
• EVGA GTX 980 SC
• Dimastech Easy V3.0

Software used:

• Anvil’s Storage Utilities
• ATTO Disk Benchmark
• AS SSD Benchmark
• CrystalDiskMark 64bit

Memory Cards used:

• Kingston SDCA3 64GB Micro-SDXC
• Kingston SDA3 256GB SDXC
• Kingston CompactFlash Ultimate 600x 64GB

I will be connecting the Lexar Professional Workflow HR1 hub to an Intel controlled USB 3.0 port and use Windows 8.1 for proper USB driver support. I will then run a series of benchmarks with Kingston’s great memory cards to see who well the card readers perform and whether they can deliver the performance that the cards are rated for.
