Switched from Hoodman to ProGrade

When I bought my R5 I also got a Hoodman CFexpress card (128gb) and a Hoodman CFexpress card reader. They ran very hot and appeared to be running continuously while attached to the computer even if the reader was not being accessed by an application.

I stopped using the Hoodman card and card reader. I switched to ProGrade card readers and ProGrade CFexpress cards (128gb). All of my excessive heat issues went away once I switched to ProGrade.
