Your habits should keep you safe and happy.
My Fuji cameras start a new internal folder whenever the number of
images reaches an even 1000. This sometimes causes me to miss an image,
which I have to search for. And it leaves two folders to be deleted.
In these cases, I usually do an in-camera format just to clean things up.

I deleted some files on the SD card from the PC while in the card reader, and
the A7iii had problems with the card. It seems to keep a separate index. I
think there is a resync function.
Now I double check I have copied all the files from the card, then I use the in
camera Format to erase the card. Probably an old habit where flash memory had
fragmentation issues when deleting images directly.

Thanks, Ken. I also do a direct cut/paste from the camera storage to a fresh file on my
primary image hard drive. I then import selected images into LR and work from there.Â
The only danger here is that if the transfer doesn't work, the images may be gone. For
important images, I would probably do a copy/paste and then go back and clear the images from the
CF card.

Thanks, Ken. I always suspected that the slow upload from CF cards
stemmed from the cards themselves, not the connection to the computer.
It's a combination of things. I've gone through several card readers.
The ones that were certainly faster than the E-1 and E-3 proved
unreliable and ended up failing or whatever at some point. The one
that I still have is rather slow, but it works without grief. The E-1
isn't the very fastest, by any means, but it's not horribly slow
either. My previous laptop had a built-in CF card slot and it was just
slightly faster with the same cards.
The one thing that I've found that speeds up the process the most is
hand copying the files from the cards to a folder on my primary image
HD and then importing or syncing that folder in Lightroom. If you let
Lightroom do the import from the CF card to the destination folder
there is substantial delay as there is far more back-and-forth
communication going on between the computer and the card than if you
do a straight copy first.
I realize that you may be at a point in your life where you probably
no longer buy green bananas, but I think that you're doing just fine
with the slower downloads from the E-1.
