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

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.

Works, really good price is perfect.No issue so far.

Compared to what I paid for my Sony version of this, I should give this 10 stars. Sure, the name brand one works fine, but it actually seems slower than this, AND it gets fairly warm after use.. I have only done one test with this and it seems to work just as well if not faster. I downloaded about 50 gig of raw and jpg files but didn't time it.. Just kind of seemed fast enough. For the price, its a great deal.

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.

This reader does NOT work on my Windows 7 computer, even though the Benfei web site says it will. I loaded a Windows 7 driver from their web site and that did not fix the problem. The reader does work fine on a Windows 11 computer. I have another card reader that has both CFexpress, type A and SD slots and that reader works fine in both Windows 11 and Windows 7 computers; I believe that's because the reader has the SD slot.

Does the Job without hiccup or issue plugging into my Dell XPS. No need for another or to pay any more.

I’ve been using this card reader since june 3 with my Nextorage 480GB CFexpress Type A card. It works exactly as expected -super fast transfers, no connection drops, no weird glitches. I’ve already transferred over 400GB of video content through it, and it handled everything smoothly. One thing I really like: it comes with both USB-C and USB-A built-in, so I can easily use it with different devices without carrying extra adapters. I’ve tested it on Windows and Mac, and it was plug and play on both. The build quality is also surprisingly good - it doesn’t feel cheap. The casing feels solid, and the connectors are firm and well-made. No complaints at all.

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.}

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.

Ho acquistato il lettore BENFEI CFexpress Type A con USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) e doppio connettore USB-C/USB-A principalmente per lavorare con la mia Sony FX30, e la differenza rispetto al passato è davvero notevole. Fino a poco tempo fa scaricavo i file usando il lettore SD integrato del mio Mac mini M1 o un piccolo lettore USB-C per le mie vecchie SD V90 e V60. Con le normali SD i tempi erano accettabili, ma appena ho iniziato a usare schede CFexpress Type A (sia Pergear che Sony) il trasferimento diretto dalla camera o con il lettore SD diventava lentissimo: per svuotare una scheda da 256 GB piena di 4K 120p S-I servivano tranquillamente 18-20 minuti. Con il BENFEI tutto è cambiato. Un test concreto: 254 GB di footage 4K 120p All-I trasferiti sul Mac mini M1 in 1 minuto e 57 secondi (circa 2,1 GB/s reali sostenuti). La stessa quantità di dati, se fosse stata su una SD V90, avrebbe richiesto oltre 11 minuti. In pratica sto risparmiando 9-10 minuti ogni volta che scarico una scheda piena e, considerando che in una giornata intensa ne uso 3 o 4, recupero facilmente 30-40 minuti di tempo utile. Il lettore è compatto, realizzato in alluminio color argento naturale (aspetto pulito e professionale), non si scalda quasi mai anche dopo trasferimenti lunghi e funziona perfettamente plug-and-play su Mac mini M1, iMac, PC Windows 11 e persino sul tablet Android con USB-C 3.2. Nessun driver da installare, si collega e parte. Molto comodo il cavo integrato con adattatore USB-A rimovibile: se capita di dover usare una porta vecchia basta agganciare il connettore A e il gioco è fatto. In poche parole: se usate CFexpress Type A su FX30, FX3, A1 o simili e volete trasferire i file alla velocità che le schede effettivamente permettono, questo BENFEI è la soluzione più pratica e conveniente che abbia trovato. Costa poco, fa esattamente quello che promette e mi ha fatto dire addio alle attese infinite. Lo consiglio senza alcuna esitazione a chiunque voglia risparmiare un sacco di tempo ogni giorno.
