Used Lexar CFexpress Type B USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Reader

2025-12-25T04:44:03

Extremely fast and did not overheat while transferring over 15 GB of photos from a CFExpress Type B to a Samsung SSD. All 15gb photos transferred in less than a minute or two. I'm very satisfied with the speed and quality.

It's plug and play on my MacBook. Reads the CFExpress card blazingly fast, but it does warm up quite a bit if plugged in for a while. I normally just work with photos so I don't have to leave it on too long.

Works great. Bought this to replace another reader that was very hot when using. This is fast and doesn't heat up

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Read/Buffer issues- keeps pausing and stopping.

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 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

No issues worked the first time and every time after

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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