Re: Switched from Hoodman to ProGrade

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.

This could be because the ProGrade cards read slower than the Hoodman. I've measured 2 ProGrade CFexpress B cards (128 GB and 1 TB) in both ProGrade and Delkin readers, using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and another app. The ProGrades read (and wrote) measurably slower than my Sony Tough and Delkin Green cards. Slower data transfer should result in lower card temperature.
