GREAT PRODUCT!  My laptop does not have a card reader and the other card reader I had did not connect well.  This works great.

GREAT PRODUCT!

This card reader does exactly as promised. It's compact, build quality is top notch, has cords for PC or Apple, and transfers my photo data quickly from cards to my MacBook Pro or external SSD.

Great card reader

Nice little unit that pairs well with my laptop for downloading the photos from my Nikon z8.

Nice unit for photo download

Great product

Works great with CFExpress type B cards and latest USB connection. No more waiting hours while you download your RAW files.

Works like a charm

I received this as a kit component when I purchased my R5. The Lexar CF reader gets extremely hot when transferring data. I have tried it 3 times with the same result. I cannot recommend this CFExpress card reader.

Gets EXTREMELY HOT

Awesome product, very fast and easily reocognized by MacOS. Transferred large files to the desktop in about 10min where my older sony reader just stuck in limbo

Well worth the money

Fast transfer

Needed new card reader to read this CF express and it works fast!!!

Card reader works flawlessly and fast!

Works great on MacBook Pro with USB-C ports.  It's a USB 3.2 device and works well on newer machines ports but computers with the older pre USB-C ports cannot keep up with it so it will appear to be slow but that's the computer not the card reader.  Has a solid feel and a foam ring on the base that helps keep it from being tossed around every time a cord is wiggled.  However weight and size make it less portable so my MacBooks bag gets the small reader while the Lexar will be the desktop reader.  The style looks incredible among the clutter that accumulates around my computer LOL.

Good Solid CFExpress Reader

Product was exactly as advertised, looked exactly like the pictures and worked great. I did end up returning due to my own ordering error. I was initially skeptical of this site, but have ordered many very expensive items since, and have always had a fantastic experience.

No issues

Wells well, only downside is does not work with XQD memory cards other than that works well.

Works well

The CFExpress was new to me with my Nikon Z6ii so I bought a card with this reader. Having used cameras with the different types of cards and this being the newest form I was expecting it to operate the same but faster. That was not my experience. It works a little differently in Lightroom and it seems notably slower. The difference in operation is no biggy but I?m confused why it seems slower. Maybe with more experience it will be different for me.

Different

Read/Buffer issues- keeps pausing and stopping.

Keep moving... don't even bother

Great memory card reader. Fast, compact and lightweight.

The Lexar CF Express came with the CF card, the cable is included. It operates well and I do not know much about CF cards. I have no way of measuring how fast it downloads. MP4 are very slow to download photos are three times faster to download. Only had it for 3 weeks so far. Definitely it is operational.

It comes with the Card.

It works but some times when i try to disconnect from the computer it won't let me. I keep getting device in use when its not. But serves it purpose for the most part

Works ok

No issues worked the first time and every time after

Works

I don't know if it's the card or the card reader but it gets super hot when plugged in with a card in it.

Hotty

Exceeded my expectations. Well built, extremely fast. I couldn't ask for more. The price was steep in my opinion, but after seeing and using the product, it was money well spent.

Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

It works, it's fast, but it gets worryingly hot even if you're not transferring. To get around this, I transfer and eject immediately, I don't want to cook anything.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Great product and great price.

Piece of plastic junk.  One of my 128G CFexpress cards got stuck in this reader.  I had to break the reader to get to my very expensive CFExpress card.  Do not buy.

Piece of plastic junk

It runs very hot so be sure to unplug it as soon as finished using it.

Might be DOA...plugged it into USB2.0 and 3.2 ports and nothing....ports are good cause XQD reader plugged into same ports works fine...wouldn't recommend this particular unit...

Must be DOA

The data transfer is fine.  It gets very hot and the plastic expands locking the card in until it cools.

This thing is HOT!

This card reader was included with a 64 GB CfExpress card. The card works as expected and the reader is fast and reliable. My only complaint is it gets hot in use. After transferring about 20 GBs, the ejected card was too hot to hold. Other than that, so far so good. Definitely worth it if you?re looking for a card and reader.

Gets the job done

Straight forward

This card reader works as expected. If I were to make any critical comments, I would say that I wish it had a small LED to show that it was plugged in... or at least a small one to show when it's being ejected by the computer. (i.e., like the Sony XQD reader)

Works as advertised.

I'm very happy with this purchase!  This Lexar card reader does just what it's supposed to do.  I like that it's compact, so it fits easily into my camera bag, or pocket of a laptop bag.  I also like the spring loaded fast eject system.
