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

There are always pros and cons... Changing from GH5 to GH6 cameras meant CFe-B cards and a new reader - I bought the generic one in the pic - from Amazon. It was great - then it was horrible - extremely slow. So, I bought a new one and because I like PROGRADE cards I bought the PROGRADE reader - it is excellent - really fast. THEN I thought - maybe?... and I tested the 'Generic' using the PROGRADE cable - it was great again - a shade faster the the PROGRADE. I did some tests... First CrystalDiskmark - results in the pics. The slowest one is the Generic reader with a 'generic' usb C cable from my charging station (this is why I was getting really frustrated) The '1039' image is the PROGRADE reader with the included cable and the ever so slightly faster '1043' image is the Generic reader with the PROGRADE cable. I shoot video as 3 camera setups and with a 4th as Run & Gun usually between 50GB and 100GB per camera. I used the Run & Gun cards for the tests. There was 50GB data in 234 files on the cards I tested, my 'work' drive is a 2TB Pcie NVMe card in a Dell Precision 3650 with 64GB ram. * The 'Generic' CFe B card reader with the PROGRADE cable transferred in 1min 23secs * The PROGRADE CFe B card reader with the PROGRADE cable transferred in 1min 57secs So, even in the real world the 'Generic' shades it. The next test I did was with SDXC UHSii cards - this time it was the PROGRADE reader Vs an Integral reader. This was using the same file set (I shoot the Run & Gun stuff to both cards in the GH6) * The Integral card reader transferred in 3mins 31secs * The PROGRADE card reader transferred the files in 4mins 4secs The BIG lesson for me in all of this is that not all cables are equal and I need to find the cables that came with the 'Generic' reader and stop using what I have just lying around!!! Despite discovering my foolishness I'm very happy to have made the purchase. The PROGRADE reader is well built, the cables are the correct connectivity, it looks as if it will be durable. I'm also happy that is says PROGRADE on it - emotions eh!? Once I find the other cables I'll have two fast CFe readers and get the ingests done in half the time - always assuming the usb busses on the PC aren't using the same channels... hope this helps

Use for canon r5 cards and reads fast and great to use Feels heavy and sturdy Feels made to last

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?

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.

Excellent in nearly every respect. Fast and reliable. Only point to watch is for is the magnet, you don't want that near a storage drive, silly idea.

This is a very good quality card reader much faster than my old old one, plus it's magnetic too. Highly recommend.

I use this card reader with an Apple MacBook Air and it does its job exactly as you would want it to. It has travelled to many countries with me and gets used a lot. Appears to be really well made and the original cable is still fine although I often use a longer third party one. I would definitely buy another if I needed to

Spot on bit of kit. Perfect companion for my Nikon D850. Super fast transfer rates and a magnetic base that holds tight to my BenQ PD2700U Monitor.

De card reader is binnen twee jaar defect net zoals al twee cf kaarten van Prograde digital maar de service is geweldig na deze melding contact met Prograde digital en kreeg na vermelding van de serie nummers kosteloos een nieuwe reader en card op gestuurd Grote klasse en geweldige aftersales complimenten

This reader stopped working after 1 month, how do I get a replacement, very unhappy.

Fast and design to meet its expectations! I’m using with both, SD card & CFexpress Type B to move large files. Working perfectly and love the magnetic option as well.

カード類もPROGRADE製品なので同メーカーで安心して利用しています

I purchased this card reader mainly for my SD cards as the readers I have weren't fast enough. The bonus with this one is that it has a Type B reader as well which I already have one, but doing speed tests with this new reader, it is much faster than my other readers. So this is my go to reader now. I am very impressed with the download speeds from this reader. If your in the market for an awesome reader go no further than this one, a lot more expensive than some but it certainly gets the job done at blistering speeds.
