BENFEI CFexpress Card Reader 10Gbps, USB-C/USB-A 2-in-1 Type B CFexpress Adapter Compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux/Android

Superb so far. Use with my Canon R5 II and the integrated USB-C connection is perfect for a fast, reliable plug & play soluton with my MacBook Pro; handling files super quick in transfer. It can get a little hot when transferring a large number of files, but this is to be expected and nothing out of the ordinary. It's sleek in design, feels robust and durable and the USB-A adapator makes offers compatibility for those looking to use it on Windows devices. Would definitely recommend for those using Type B CFExpress cards in their photography setup.

Works great, haven't had any issues and i like that the design has the cable built in. Because it's made of metal it acts as a heat sink as the cards get pretty toasty when you're offloading a lot of data. I think this might be an essential design choice for a CF express card reader. I'm very happy with it.

well made, fair price and works well. recommended

Now been using this for several months. Despite being a, to me, unknown brand, this is working well and feels solidly made with positive engagement with the memory card. Download speeds are very fast, it and the CF card have reduced my backup times by 75%.

This card reader is perfect for my needs. Having both USB-C and standard USB connections makes it really practical, as I can use it with different devices without any adapters. It works quickly and reliably, and it’s small enough to keep in a bag all the time. I mainly use it for transferring photos and it has been spot on so far. A very handy little tool to have, especially if you work across laptops and tablets. Highly recommended.

This BENFEI CFexpress Type A reader is a smart, no-fuss accessory. It delivers speedy USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfers (up to 10 Gbps), which really helps when moving high-res footage. The dual USB-C/USB-A cable means it just works with whatever port you’ve got on your rig. Its aluminum shell and braided cable feel tough — like it’s built to last. Setup was painless, and it's compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux—even Android for those on-the-go transfers. A solid bang-for-buck pick if you're working with CFexpress cards.

Fast works with all cards I have - can’t fault

I'm using this card reader to transfer photos to my Ipad Pro. Blazing fast speeds, convenient type c and a connection, nice build quality, zero issues. Recommended

I cannot speak to longevity but this item costs about a fifth what my old Ritz card reader that I lost cost, and as a bonus it comes with both USB-C and USB-A connectors, which was a pleasant surprise! Speeds seem comparable to my older Ritz model. Worked immediately in Windows 10 plug n play with no software or configuration. I'm using it with FastStone Image Viewer and Nikon Studio NX, as well as directly through Windows file explorer. It is lighter weight which normally indicates cheaper components, but it's just a circuit board in a protective case and they used a plastic case vs my old metal one. Even if it fails after a year I would be happy with the purchase at this price. Works great for my Nikon Z9 and again the dual USB-A/C plugs was a great design choice giving you maximum flexibility and compatibility.

Ich habe den BENFEI CFexpress Typ-B Kartenleser bestellt, da ich regelmäßig große RAW-Datenmengen von meiner Kamera sichern muss und nach einer zuverlässigen, schnellen und unkomplizierten Lösung gesucht habe. Nach rund vier Wochen im Einsatz bin ich wirklich zufrieden und möchte meine Eindrücke teilen. Der Kartenleser wirkt hochwertig verarbeitet, liegt gut in der Hand und macht auch optisch einen soliden Eindruck. Besonders praktisch finde ich die 2-in-1-Lösung mit USB-C und USB-A, da ich so flexibel an meinem MacBook, dem stationären PC und gelegentlich sogar am Android-Tablet arbeiten kann — ohne ständig Adapter mitschleppen zu müssen. Die Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit ist absolut überzeugend. Ich habe mit einer CFexpress Typ-B-Karte von 128 GB mehrere große Video- und Bilddateien übertragen und erreiche dabei konstant Geschwindigkeiten von 800–900 MB/s (gemessen mit Blackmagic Disk Speed Test und CrystalDiskMark). Damit ist der Reader spürbar schneller als mein vorheriges Gerät, das deutlich teurer war. Die Plug & Play-Funktionalität funktioniert unter macOS, Windows und sogar am Android-Smartphone problemlos. Karte rein, wird sofort erkannt, keine Treiber notwendig, kein lästiges Setup. Genau so sollte es sein. Auch nach längeren Datentransfers bleibt das Gehäuse angenehm kühl — ein Punkt, der mir wichtig ist, da manche andere Kartenleser gerne mal sehr warm werden. Ich vergebe hier 5 Sterne, weil der BENFEI-Kartenleser in Sachen Geschwindigkeit, Kompatibilität und Verarbeitung absolut überzeugt und sich im Alltag als verlässlich und unkompliziert erwiesen hat. Für den aufgerufenen Preis bekommt man hier ein sehr solides Produkt, das sich vor deutlich teureren Markenlösungen nicht verstecken muss. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die regelmäßig große Datenmengen von CFexpress Typ-B-Karten übertragen müssen und Wert auf ein zuverlässiges, schnelles und flexibles Arbeitsgerät legen. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Great quality and works perfectly. The materials are solid. Been using it for nearly a year and have not noticed much wear and tear. The card clicks in and must be pushed in to eject out. Love that it has usb-a and usb-c for options. It transfers hundreds of GBs quickly.

Although this will read and write A type cards, the card bay is too small to accommodate full size UDMA7- CF cards. I will keep it regardless as I have other applications for it as a reliable product. The quad reader of the same name, (BENFEI) will read, simultaneously Micro SD; MS; intermediate & full size CF-A cards as a four in one USB-C ~ 3.0 device. (UHS-1 speeds of up to 104MBS). In my opinion this footprint is compact enough to fit in a camera bag and covers most cards for the average end user. BENFEI products I have purchased have all performed flawlessly over the long term, years of service in fact and therefore qualifies BENFEI as reputable brand in my experience. My technologies include iOS and PC / android devices. I prefer these robustly constructed BENFEI devices over other branded manufacturers that are often far more costly. {Disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with BENFEI or its subsidiaries and do not benefit in any way from this post.}

Je suis très satisfait
