SanDisk Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Reader - SDDR-F451-GNGNN

Card readers are simple. Plug in the card, and your card should show up as an external drive. You can then add or delete files.This card reader reliably connects, and transfers files quickly. I didn't rend any speed tests, but it transferred files about three times as fast as attaching a camera (Canon R5) and downloading.Well built, no complaints.

I have used this to download massive amounts of data since purchasing it from my CFexpress cards and have to say that it is crazy fast and very reliable. I haven't had a single issue with it. I would have liked to found a cheaper option, but I'm certainly glad I went with this one because it just works so well.

I use this to read my SanDisk 128GB CF Express card from my Nikon D500 (20MP, crop sensor). I shoot sports and wildlife at 10fps with this camera body, so I always have hundreds to import into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. It comes with a USB C cable that works excellently with my CyberPower PC laptop (Tracer III 15Z, 2.60GHz, 1TB WD Blue SSD, 32GB Mem) to quickly import my RAW files to LR. My most recent import was about 425 RAW files from my 20MP D500 and it took a few minutes. I waited longer for LR to convert the files to DNG and build previews. Excellent reader for an excellent card!

The product does the intended job of reading and writing on a CF-Express Type B cards. However, the cable connecting the reader to the computer could have been a little longer. For the price the adapter could have provided support to other type of cards as well.

This thing is SO fast. it can download a 128GB CFExpress to my laptop in about 4 mins. It's a bit bulky, but it feels better made and sturdier than other, smaller readers. It also doesn't get nearly as hot as the smaller metal ones do. It's pricy, but the peace of mind and speed are worth it.

It gets the job done. It has the Sandisk name behind it which I prefer to use their cards.... So I know quality is there. For the price I really wish that it was a multi card reader like an SD card or A CF cardIn addition to the CF express. For the price point I think it's a bit high but it gets it done.

It didn't work at first, then I called SanDisk customer support. They informed me that I needed to assign a drive letter to it in Disk Management in Windows. They walked me through what to do.

I don't find any of the problems indicated by users of this and similar CFexpress Card Readers. Mine is fast, doesn't get hot, and is recognized by my system (Mac OS13) every time I plug it in.
