CFexpress Type B Card Reader, USB 3.2 10Gbps Up to 900MB/s Speeds 2 in 1 USB C & USB A Port for CFE Type B Camera Card Reader Adapter, OTG for iPhone 15 Pro/iPad Pro/PC/Laptop/Smart Phone/Tablet

I haven't had this reader long enough to determine its long term reliability, however I did run the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on it and it worked great (USB C). Its read and write speed were slightly faster than my ProGrade reader which cost considerably more. Since this reader is small and does not require a USB cable, it will replace my ProGrade reader in my travel kit. I recommend giving it a try.

Gets the job done, I would imagine others are faster but it's really good for the price!

Pros✅ High-Speed Transfers – With USB 3.2 Gen technology, this reader delivers blazing-fast read and write speeds, making it ideal for handling large 4K/8K video files and high-resolution photos.✅ Plug-and-Play Convenience – No need for drivers—just plug it in, and it’s ready to use on Windows, macOS, and other compatible devices.✅ Compact & Portable – The small, lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a camera bag for on-the-go use.✅ Durable Build – Many models come with a solid aluminum or reinforced plastic casing to ensure longevity and heat dissipation during extended transfers.✅ Wide Compatibility – Works with CFexpress Type A cards commonly used in high-end Sony cameras, including the Alpha series.Cons❌ Limited to CFexpress Type A – If you need to read CFexpress Type B or SD cards, you’ll need a separate reader.❌ Can Get Warm During Extended Use – Some users report that prolonged file transfers generate noticeable heat.❌ Slightly Expensive – CFexpress readers tend to be pricier than traditional SD or microSD readers, which might feel steep for casual users.Final VerdictThe CFexpress Type A Card Reader (USB 3.2 Gen) is a must-have for photographers and videographers who frequently deal with large file transfers. It’s fast, reliable, and convenient, but if you work with multiple card formats, a multi-card reader might be a better investment.

The plastic end caps fall off allowing the circuit board to slide out. Finally happened to me when unplugging the reader from my computer. The little glue that had held it together has failed and there is no mechanical mechanism to keep the case together; just adhesive. -1 point. Other than that, read on. I still like this thing.This thing works exactly as you'd expect it to. I'm using it with a hand-assembled cfexpress type b (xqd) card (a samsung nvme drive from a PC, in a metal enclosure). It's one of my favorite devices now even beyond the photography use that it was intended for. Transferring lots of data between servers? No problem. This works in a pinch and is fast. Would buy again if I needed another. Thanks! Also, this is not a paid review. I just really like this thing.

I didn't bother benchmarking this but can say without question that between this and the proper card, I've never seen anything this fast. It transferred 2 4K movies in a couple of seconds! The convenience of USB C & A along with the size make this a must have.As far as build quality: The case is metal for durability and heat displacement. It feels solid!Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. So the GH6 went to a big sale this year and I decided to purchase it as an upgrade for my GH5. Using a SD Card on the GH6, it stopped recording a few times due to slow read times and buffering. So I had to get a CFexpress card which can record those crazy rates on the camera. Now most pcs like mine don't have a CFexpress reader and I purchased this one. It works great. You plug your card in, plug the unit into a USBC or USB slot and it lights up. Reads the card and transfers data with no problem. I don't know this company but they made a very good product, with two slot covers to protect the connection. I can't attest to the fast read times due to my slow USB interface but I believe on a modern PC it should be blazing.

Connectivity option smart design works well

Easy to use, but it gets extremely Hot when connected to the USB port. I returned the product, don't recommend it.
