Questions & Answers for Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader

I noticed several people asked this question back in 2015. No one has answered any of them in regards to supporting the read speeds for UHS-II SD cards. Since there is a second row of connectors on these SD cards, it should be simple for Apple to check whether the card reader supports using both rows of connectors on the card. Wouldn’t we all like ~240-300Mbps transfer of our photos & videos from UHS-II SD cards to our iPads & iPhones?

I was thinking about purchasing this accessory to check several game camera footages. I figure I remove the SD card from the game camera & download the images to my iPhone 6s. Once this is accomplished, will it remove the images from the SD card so I can place it back in the game camera & start over? Or will I have to still take the SD card back to a computer for reformatting or deleting the images.

Can I use this to take pictures off my iPhone/iPad and put them onto the SD Card, for safe storage? I'm trying to find a safe place for my photos, without adding them to a computer. I want to free up space on my Apple devices.

Mine is unable to see anything on the micro SD card. When I view on a PC, I can see the DCIM folder and said photos/videos.

There are 2 ways to use Garmin Topo Maps with Garmin Basecamp software. You can plug your handheld GPS into a USB port every time you want to use Basecamp, or you can have the SD card with the maps on plugged straight into the SD slot. My old MacBook Pro had an SD slot, so I just left a Garmin SD in that to save plugging in the GPS every time I wanted to look at the maps. My new Mac Mini has no SD slot and wondering if the lightening to SD reader is the equivalent of the old SD slot in the MacBook.

Can you transfer back to the SD card as well as upload. Also can you upload other files e.g. numbers or pages files?
