Review: Excellent Speed, Durable, Sci-Fi Masculine Style, Doesn't Burn Up - For some reason my Nikon won't connect to my iMac to transfer my photos from the new Z8 memory stick I got, the CFExpress. So I had to buy a card reader. I wasn't going to go for a cheap one because I'm sick of things being cheap, but this was affordable with the right reviews for me. It only took about 15min to transfer 2400 photos into my Lightroom. And I checked the heat on the reader, and it's not too hot. It's warm, but not enough to burn you and complain on desertcart about it. It is an excellent purchase and well worth the money. I figured it would've taken an hour to import, but no. 15min is nice. Don't know what other readers do and how long it would've taken, but for how many photos I took (including a couple video files!) I'd say if you're on the fence, get this. The one con is the magnet doesn't help us Mac users as there's nothing to use the magnet on. But that's okay cuz it's only temporary and I can put it away when done. ## Features - DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE:​ ​Because the ​ProGrade Digital™​ USB 3.2 Gen 2 ​CFexpress™​ ​Type B and SD​™​ dual-slot memory card reader transfers your data at lightning speed - up to 1.25GB/s (10Gb/s) from both cards simultaneously - you can spend more time creating and less time waiting on downloads. - DESIGNED FOR LIFE ON THE ROAD:​ ​Wherever you go, your included adhesive metal plate attaches the magnetic card reader to your laptop to create a compact mobile workstation.

How does it attach to the computer?** A: It comes with 2 cables. 1. a USB 3.1 Gen 1 A to C-Cable which just plugs into any available USB port. and C end of the cable plugs into the card reader. 2. a USB 3.1 Gen 2 C to C-Cable which plugs into you Computer C port if you have one and the other end plugs into the card reader. **Q: Has anyone else found their CFExpress cards to get ridiculously hot in this thing?** A: Yes. I found they get ridiculously hot also in different readers e.g. Sandisk one, so I don't believe it is specific to this item. No idea why it gets so hot, even when sitting idle and not reading / writing data. **Q: Will this work for uploading photos to samsung galaxy s7 plus tablet?** A: If you have the correct port or an adapter. They make great stuff. **Q: is this reader can read the card 128GB type B ?** A: Hello, Thank you for the inquiry. Yes it will. Just as the product description states. It reads CFexpress Type B cards. as well as SD.

This means that the reader isn't just dangling from the end of a cable and can be loaded/unloaded with one hand while firmly mounted on a PC case. -Reads SD cards. -Has a heavy build and manages heat well. The unit itself does not overheat but the Sandisk 256GB Extreme Pro CFexpress card gets almost too hot to touch at 400MB/s. I think this is a mostly a limitation of the card's heat management not the reader's. I can't imagine how hot the card would get if writing files at the card's advertised write speed of 1200 MB/s. Again, I presume this is a limitation of the card and not the reader firmware design. -The reader mounts the XQD card (status light comes on) but so far does not recognize it in Windows 10. I am hoping that this functionality will be added to the reader with a firmware update by Prograde. There is really no reason that it shouldn't since the Nikon D850 camera can now read both cards. CONS: -I cannot get the reader to recognize the NIKON XQD 120GB card which is the same form factor as the CFexpress card. Hopefully this functionality will be added by Prograde with a firmware update. -Copying 130GB of random photographs from an M.2 drive folder to the reader on a USB C SS10 3.1 (red) port took about 5 minutes. The highest transfer speed was about 400 MB/s. -The CFexpress card gets almost too hot to touch at 400 MB/s write speed. I mostly blame this on the card since the reader stays cool. -The CFexpress card stays almost too hot to touch even when sitting idle in the reader. That is pretty typical behavior of many USB thumbdrives when plugged directly into a workstation port but I'd think that the reader firmware should be able to put the card on idle to avoid this. I count it as a CON unless proven otherwise. Leaving the card in the reader for an extended period of time will damage the card. -I can't really imagine this unit transferring files anywhere near the advertised card write speed of 1.25 GB/s. That is about 3x the speed that I reached but it may be possible for short periods or for a single large file. Also I imaging the heat production in the card would be much higher which is just not healthy for the card. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - ProGrade Digital Memory Card - CFexpress 4.0 Type B for Cameras | Optimized for Express Transfer of Files & Large Storage | 512GB Gold Series - Canon Battery Pack LP-E6P --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/191041750-prograde-digital-cfexpress-type-b-and-sdxc-card-reader-usb](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/191041750-prograde-digital-cfexpress-type-b-and-sdxc-card-reader-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
