SanDisk Professional PRO-READER CFast Card Reader, with super-fast media transfer

All good

Sandisk Pro CFexpress Type B reader/writer. Bought this for transferring photographs from camera to phone/desk top PC. It maybe more expensive than alot of others but the build quality and speed of file transfer is well worth paying for. 10/10. You pay for what you get, can't recommend this or the SD Card reader enough.

Excellent form factor, amazing speed. I’ve checked many card readers before. This one is the best I’ve seen so far

This is a great piece of equipment

Two caveats to this review - it is early days - only had it a month or so - and of course as you can tell this is pricey.Ok I like this - feels solid and well-made, metal case gives confidence for both robustness and heat dissipation. They will clip together with other models in the range ( I have an sd reader too) - this makes it feel even more solid and stable on the desk.Transfer rates? Well using a Sandisk extreme pro CF express and cheap USB 3.1 cable - around 500-700 MB/s down and 400 plus MB/s.I note of caution - do use a suitable cable and plug it into the correct port. Goes without saying I guess - but yours truly used a 'found in the cupboard' cable and the download rates was about 40 MB/s - my bad.I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy one (and appropriate cable - the supplied one was too short to go round the back of my pc). It certainly gives more confidence than the plastic things you normally get.Pricey tho'. - hence only 4 stars.I'll update this review if anything changes.

Looks good and build quality is great however it was outdated even before it came out.Most CFexpress readers read both XQD and CFexpress, for some reason this only does CFexpress. This is designed to work stand alone or with the PRO-DOCK 4. Even the PRO-DOCK 4 came out after the TX-4DS by BlackJet it's far inferior and more expensive. It's Massive and doesn't support as many options as the TX-4DS which is replicated in the Sandisk CFexpress reader. When Sandisk are good it's good, when it's bad it's just downright confusing.

Had high hopes for this reader, unfortunately, the unit appears to have failed and repeatedly ejects the memory card during ingests. I'd ideally like to return for a refund or repair but cannot see a way to do so.

Don't buy this item, it is not worth your money. Look for a cheaper alternative - this one kept crashing and has now been returned. It will crash your computer.

Al momento lo probé con una tarjeta lexar de 512 GB y ala velocidad de copiado fue de menos de un minuto para un archivo de 64 GB en menos de un minuto con MacBook Pro M1 PRO MAX

Ich habe den CFe und den Multicard-Reader aus der Professional-Serie von SanDisk. Beide Geräte sind hervorragend. Ausgezeichnete Verarbeitung, schnelle Lesegeschwindigkeit und gutes Temperaturmanagement durch den großen Kühlkörper sind m.E. die Stärken dieser Serie. Sehr empfehlenswert.

This reader is super fast and does not heat like others. I'm very happy with this model.

Parait aux premiers abords solide. N'ayant pas à l'utiliser pour le moment, je reviendrai ultérieurement donner mon avis quant à son utilisation sur le terrain.
