Questions & Answers

JAY W : Is this a simple plug and use?  Does it require any formatting or downloading of an app?RANDALL W : Yes, just insert the card into the reader, plug the reader into your device, and upload the photos or videos. Simple. I use iPhoto and Lightroom mobile on my iPad. It shows up as a device or my camera name. I did not need to download any software, apps, or perform formatting (other than formatting my cards in my camera body prior to use). Use the cable provided for the highest transfer speed; I’ve used my iPhone charging cable a few times, it works, but is slower. This is the best Card reader I’ve owned and better quality than older versions. Always ensure the upload is complete prior to removing the card or detaching the device, the Orange light will be solid. When the device is uploading, the Orange light is blinking. If you remove the card or disconnect the device while the Orange light is blinking, you risk irreparably damaging the card. I ruined a card several years ago with another device when I removed the card while it was still uploading (though have not tested for that failure with this device). You should also receive a message on your device stating the upload is complete.
DAVID C : Will I be able to fully maximize the 4.0 speeds when connecting this to my M1 MacBook Pro?

Mfg's warning and magnetic problems. Firmware upgrade required

Manufacture's Warning Danger to Hard & Optical Disk Drives from Magnetic built in. From the ads I assumed the magnetic was in the base. It is part of the reader making it very danger-est to carry around in your catch all bag. What kind of hard drive are they talking about???? Paper clips, USB cords etc. are always attaching themselves to the reader. I do not see a non-magnetic version available. To top it off even if I were to use the mounting system I threw away the 1/2" logo name plate which I assumed was some kind of costly Apple like packaging. The box is too big to use as an anti-magentic container. I find the Prograde Digital CFexpress Type-B cards very hard to get out of my Nikon z8. Some times it takes 2 seconds and at other times it take 30 seconds of wiggling to get removed from the camera with repeated reinserts etc. There is a catch when inserting the Prograde memory into the reader so you think it is all the way inserted and you get computer notices of bad connections leading you to believe it is the wrong cord etc. Might be the same for other cards? To use you are advised to up grade the firmware before using it due to failure problems. "It is recommended that you update your firmware if: The PG05.5 reader's serial number has a "0", "1", or "2" in the fourth digit from the left. The PG05.6 reader's serial number has a "0" in the fourth digit from the left." pasted from web site. I had several screen hang ups for the firmware till I found another web page that worked. They brag about their software maintenance download that only works with Prograde, However you have to open an sales account to get to the download. Personal information required. Another click bait e-mail arrangement. Hopefully this a scamming because I find no reader comments in reviews 's about their cards in other readers and on Nikon. NEF's run faster than on my laptop solid state drive using NX Studio.

Great reader, poor service

The reader worked wonderfully for about a year, then the CFexpress ejector stopped working. I asked for a repair or replacement through the manufacturer's website and never heard back.

Solid build, Small and Fast Transfer speed

This thing has a solid build and its fast. Its about half the size of a deck of cards so pretty small and out of the way, and easy to stuff away when on the go. USB-C cables comes with it as well - bonus! I would definitely recommend this.

Gets scary hot but seems to work fin so far. When I removed my card it burned my finger tips. You have to let it cool before you can even touch it!

Awesome Card Reader

I love this card reader. It feels super durable and love that it reads both cfexpress type an and SD cards at the same time. Considering having a second one to keep in my backpack for when I am at a shoot

Solid, reliable, fast

I got this for the CFE-A chip needed for the FX6, not realizing it had the SDXC function. When I found out the FX6 will do 95% of the work with the much cheaper SDXC cards, I was delighted to find that it worked for those too. It transfers on USB 3.2 at over 300MB/s, so transfer speeds are as advertised. I think I'll order another soon.

Decent CF/A SDXC reader

This is a good CF/A and SDXC reader. I needed it to expand on my iMac. Unfortunately, it takes up one of only two USB-C slots on the iMac. Why Apple?! 2? I digress. It won?t work with a USBA-USBC cable either. I think it has to do with the data transfer speeds of CF/A cards which need the USBC bandwidth. Other than that, it seems reliable for only being 2 weeks old.

Fast. I do a lot of videos that must be published quickly. This is a great tool to speed emptying of the cards.

Went from 80Mbs or so to 125 to 225Mbs with my V90 cards. Recommended!!
