CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II Dual-Slot Memory Card Reader by ProGrade Digital | USB 3.2 Gen 2 for Professional Filmmakers, Photographers & Content Creators

This reader runs significantly cooler than others I have used.When used with the ProGade app, their cards can be identified, firmware upgraded check the performance/life left on older cards.Okay it's not cheep, but it is very good when combined with ProGrade cards.I'm not sure about the use of the magnetic mounting plate around electronic devices, I'll have to update this part for the better or worse in due course and experiance.

As a card reader for cfexpress & sd cards it does its job quickly. I’m pleased that I bought it, it seems like a quality item. The cards fit positively in the slots.

Works well but expensive for what it is. Magnetic base not essential but could be useful. Lead is far too short. - at this price - really?

This ProGrade memory card reader is quite compact, works well and is a decent price. If I have one small complaint it is that the USB lead supplied is a bit short at 48cm, so it doesn't quite reach from the back of my tower computer, but that won't bother most users.The reader is well built and has a magnetic base so it can be attached to metal surfaces. ProGrade have a good reputation so I am confident it will last.

A little pricey be great quality and a necessity for downloading images from my CF-B cards.Fast delivery and well packaged

Bought this along with CF express card. As was first express card needed reader and this paired nicely having SD reader was a bonus. Paired with new c usn cable hooked and and worked well with both cards. Reading and copying fast eny for me in compare with older card reay on SD card. Copied 10.5 GB of express card in less than 1 minute. Magnetic plate allows firm fixing to pc body and size makes it discreet. Happy with product. Price feels right for quality.

New camera... a new card... but my XQD reader doesn't do CFExpress B despite the form factor being identical.The new reader is lovely and reads cards blisteringly quickly.Horrifically expensive for what it is but that's the bleeding edge of tech I guess.Not found a real use for the magneticness yet.

Stackable Memory Card Reader with compatibility issuesPackingComes in a sealed, quality cardboard box containing:1 x card reader, dual slot CFexpress B and SD UHS-II1 x USB C to USB C cable1 x USB A to USB C cable1 x metal sticky pad1 x User Guide1 x Registration / software info cardIn useThis reader has a magnetic base. If you have more than one ProGrade card reader you can securely stack them on top of each other. You could stick the metal sticky pad provided to a laptop lid and then attach the reader to the back of your laptop screen. Seems a bit gimmicky and you only get one sticky pad.As a card reader this will read any brand of CFexpress B or SD card.Warning number 1. If you have ProGrade cards, you must have a ProGrade card reader to use ProGrade’s Refresh Pro software.Warning number 2. If you have a different brand of CFexpress card and need to update that card’s firmware you will need that brand’s card reader. You cannot update the firmware on other CFexpress B branded cards using a ProGrade card reader.So, in general you need to match the brand of card reader to the brand of the CFexpress B card for maximum compatibility. An expensive mistake I made not knowing about firmware updates for CFexpress B cards.What I liked1) Well-made card reader, should survive travel well2) CFexpress B and SD card slots3) USB cables providedWhat I disliked1) Slots are not spring loaded; you have to push in and pull out the cards2) Does not support XQD cards, my camera can read and write to both CFexpress and XQD cards why do card readers in general only work one or the other?3) Not fully compatible with CFexpress cards from other brands4) Inner packaging is black plastic which is not accepted by my road-side recycling scheme5) Magnetic base, I would want to keep this away from hard disk drives.Overall, a good card reader that is a must for 100% compatibility with ProGrade CFexpress B cards. Given the lack of compatibility with other brands of cards and lack of XQD card support I would rate this as three stars, for users with only ProGrade CFexpress B cards I would rate as five stars hence four stars as an average overall.I hope you found this review useful and save on making potential expensive purchases.
