SMOKING FAST

Just used it for the first time on my Mac desk top. It loaded instantly with 350+ RAW and JPEG photos. Very impressive and I would replace it in a heart beat if and when it may fail. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Card reader supelative

Works like a charm. Even though it says USB 3, it works just fine in USB 2 ports.

I Like It

I have been using this for years. My old one quite working and I ordered a new one just like the old one. No need to change when this works so good. It is fast, and does what it is supposed to do.

Nice card reader.

This reader works great. The cable I had been using with my camera (the same type of interface) did not work with the reader, but another cable did work, so I assume it was a cable issue and not the reader.

Compact, sturdy, fast

So far so good. Limited to only two card sizes, but meets my needs (Compact Flash). File transfer is fast over USB 3. Time will tell in terms of reliability. My previous reader (other brand/model) failed after about 1 year of light use. Would rate 5 stars if I know that it will last for several years.

Great Card Reader

This card reader works well and is well-designed. I like that it can be closed when not in use so dust doesn't get inside.

Good piece of kit. Works. Every time. Glad I got it, but I'll have to replace it soon, so the new memory units will fit.

A CF card reader that works with Mac OS

My old CF card reader (usb 2.0) wouldnt read the newer CF faster and higher capacity cards on my Mac. Went through several brands and this is the one that works accross the board, no problem! Reads the 16 and 32 GB 150/160 MB/s UDMA 7 cards I use without a problem and fast, works with Mac High Sierra OS along with Windows 7 and 10. Faster with usb 3.0, but backwards compatible with 2.0 (little slower). Takes power from usb to power card for transfer. Like it so much I ordered a second on for my iMac pro to take on trips. Small form factor but sits well. Not to forget also has SDHC slot and they work well also. I would recomend this to my friends that continue with the CF cards in their cameras as I do.

Worked fine -- for a while

I bought the predecessor to this model, the LRW30. It worked fine for a couple of years (of not very heavy use) but then started disconnecting and reconnecting every 20 to 30 seconds or so. Of course LR aborted the download each time that happened. Tested multiple cards, USB cords and ports to confirm the reader is at fault. Lexar will RMA the unit, but only if I pay to ship it back. I thought I was buying a premium product, but apparently not. Not getting premium customer service from them either. BTW, my older, less expensive Transcend dual card reader continues to work fine. Glad I still had it.

Great option for both CF and SD cards

Bought two of these to replace less expensive product - which turned out to be pretty worthless. This one ... months down the road, the second one is still happily in the box. Very happy with this reader.

CF Lexar Reader

Very compact - contacts are protected which is very good in dusty environments - USB 3 makes the transfers rapid

LRW400 Card Reader Review

I have not use the reader yet. I would not have bought it if I known that Lexar has sold there memory card division to a company in China. The article that I read was in the December issue of Shutterbug by Scott Kelby. I will not buy any more Lexar products.

Solid and Reliable

The build quality is good, the reader pops up and stows flat without a hitch, and I've had zero trouble with it being recognized or reading either CF or SDHC cards (macOS Sierra). Bought a second one and have had the same positive experience, so quality control appears to be good. Two thumbs up.

Lear card reader

By Sandy S.

My old card reader kept disconnecting, and I ordered the Lexar dual slot reader to replace it. My camera uses the compact flash card and it was difficult finding anything local that would read it. What I especially like is how fast it reads my files! I'd definitely recommend this product.

Sweet!

By ERIC E.

This well designed unit is made of durable material which is perfect for the photographer on the go. I love the protective shield that prevent damage to the pins while it is in your bag. The shield also helps to reduce dust buildup on the pins. It fits nicely in your camera bag. I would recommend this unit to by best friends.
