What customers say
Professionals highly value the Lexar HR2 hub for its exceptional workflow efficiency. Its primary strength is the modular design, allowing users to customize four bays with various Lexar card readers for a tailored setup. Reviewers consistently praise the significant time savings delivered by the fast Thunderbolt 2 connectivity, which is crucial for handling large video and RAW image files. This speed and reliability justify the investment for those needing rapid turnaround. While the build quality is robust, some note the reliance on older Thunderbolt 2 technology and the proprietary reader system as minor limitations. Overall, the HR2 remains an essential, powerful tool that dramatically streamlines post-production.
