BENFEI CFexpress Type A Card Reader with USB 3.2 (Gen 2) 10Gbps, USB-C&USB-A 2-in-1 Type A CFexpress Adapter, Compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux/Android

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.

Works great. Plugs right into both connectors without fail. Allows for super fast transfer. No issues with Alexa’s card.

Works with android phones but takes a long time to show up in Total Commander. Also I needed to update to android 14 on one phone for it to work properly. Speed is good but limited by the speed of USB-C port. On many phones USB-C speed is limited to 2.0. If you find a phone with 3.0 supported speeds it is much faster. On a computer it work perfectly and much faster of course. Did not get hot for me with sustained transfers but the phone did. In retrospect I may have gotten a type b reader and used a Type A adapter but I didn't know those existed at the time. I would have liked if the cable was replaceable.

I highly recommend getting a BENFEI card reader as it speeds up your offloading time by a factor of 15.83 times !!! This card has very good packaging, build quality and performance. It also has a USB A converter attached to the USB C connector. If you are trying to save money and still be able to transfer your data quickly this is a great option. Based on my personal experience using the card reader with a Sony CFexpress card, I got 821.48 MB/s Read and 693.72 MB/s Write speeds from CrystalDiskMark on the initial test through USB C Thunderbolt on my laptop when the reader was still cool while I was getting 42.46 MB/s Read and 32.30 MB/s write from Sony A7SIII's USB C port connected to the same USB C thunderbolt input on my laptop. After that I timed transferring a 4,325,727 KB XAVC HS 4K video file using both the camera USB C output and the BENFEI card reader. The results were surprisingly good. It took the card reader only 6.79 seconds to finish transferring while the A7SIII's USB C output took 1 minute 47.54 seconds to finish transferring the same file through the same exact port on my laptop.

DO NOT risk frying your computer or your SD card with a cheap reader. Anyone giving this thing more than 1 star has no idea what could go wrong. Serious design flaw. My brand-new M5 MacBook wasn’t able to transfer any files from my Type A card, playback was glitchy and crashed my entire computer, ejecting it was impossible, restarting my computer did not fix the glitches or crashing. The reader and my card were horrifically hot to the touch. Something is very wrong here. I will be spending 3-4x more on a reliable brand to make sure this never happens to me again. Believe the other 1-star reviews. I’m not risking my files or my sanity to save a few dollars. Neither should anyone else.

Works with my iMac using MacOS 15.7.7. Tested with the USB-C and USB-A connections.

I transitioned to a camera that uses a CF Express Type A card for the first time. I invested a lot of money in gear, and didn't want to spend a ton on a card reader, but wanted one that was quality enough to load at an efficient speed. This is definitely the perfect in-between. Good quality without sacrificing a ton of money.

El beneficio calidad precio es muy bueno, trabaja muy bien y es muy rápido para transferir los archivos de video. Solo tiene el recalentamiento normal de este tipo de dispositivos, por lo demás, funciona muy bien.

I’m really happy with this purchase. It works as intended and the transfer speed to my MacBook via usb-c is extremely fast! The design is a plus, it goes really well with a MacBook Pro.

Really good, specially for the price. Fast data transfer and I love the fact you can use it with a usb c or usb a.

Totally blown away by how fast and simple this thing is. Plugged it in nd boom! Files were flying off my card like magic. No setup, no glitches, no nonsense. Just clean, smooth transfers EVERY time. Been running it with my Sony cam, and even those giant files didn’t faze it one bit. The USB-C and USB-A dual capabilities is a life saver, so I can plug into whatever I’ve got in front of me. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d ever be this excited about a card reader... LOL but here I am. Loving it.

ممتاز اخذته لذاكرة sony cf type A سريع في النقل و فيه مدخلين تقدرو تختارو المدخل الي يناسب الاب عندكم

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.
