The reader is bus-powered and it features an integrated cable that tucks into its base.
The Atlas Dual SD Reader is conveniently ready for portable use with USB-C equipped Macs, Windows PCs, iPads, and Chromebooks.
The reader has claimed read speeds of up to 300MB/s on two cards simultaneously for a combined bandwidth of over 600MB/s. According to OWC, you can transfer 250GB in less than seven minutes vs over 14 minutes with a single slot UHS-II reader.

Innergize Software
Innergize helps professional photographers, videographers, and content creators effectively handle ever growing higher resolutions, framerates, bit depths, codecs, and the need to store all that increased data. Normal use of flash memory slowly degrades its ability to write at maximum speeds. When you need to use your camera’s most demanding settings, that’s when flash memory really gets stressed, and problems can occur.

Over time and use cycles, flash memory does wear out. Innergize verifies and reports the percentage of use life remaining. Now you can work with full confidence your OWC flash memory product will deliver the reliability you can trust.
Sanitize
Writes, deletes, and formatting all take their toll on memory cards. Innergize cleans and restores the flash memory performance of OWC memory cards so you can get the best results on every use.
