LexarProfessional CFexpress Type B USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Reader, Up to 1700MB/s Read, Designed for CFexpress Type B Cards (LRW550U-RNBNU)

Bought this for my photography use. Works perfectly with my Sandisk CF express Type B card. The reader is super fast. Really small and PortableComes with USB-C to C cable and USB-A to C. The build quality feels really good. It had a good weight to it with a rubber pad on the bottom so doesn’t slide around.Really good price to some of the others I’ve seen.This product did get pretty hot when being used So be cautious to not overheat your memory card or the reader itself.

People have complained about it getting hot, but I have not experienced this. CFExpress cards do run naturally hotter on sustained read and write due to the data rate, but I’ve experienced none of the overheating while just plugged in issues that others have mentioned. I suspect this is something to do with the USB implementation on their computer.

I have an older Nikon D800 which takes high speed Compact Flash and SD cards. My previous card readers were the previous Lexar reader which was USB2.0 and had a terrible plasticky body. After 6 years of use, it has stopped working altogether. But 6 years of real-world use is actually really good. Therefore, another Lexar Pro reader made sense to get. To my surprise, this isn't just a replacement. It's a big upgrade.The triangular design looks good on my desk and it's easy to just face the card type I am using. CF on one side and SD on the next.Transfer speeds are really good and I was pleasantly surprised to see USB-C on the actual device. It comes with a USB SS cable (super speeds for USB 3), but having a USB-C interface is a logical next step to have. These cards can't got to Thunderbolt transfers so SS is appropriate. In other words, the limiting speed factor is the card's read/write speeds. In a BlackMagic Disk speed, I got about 82MB/s in a CF card that is rated at 90MB/s, and about 255MB/s (read) on a SD card rated at 300MB/s. That's quite impressive.Finally, the value for money is a no-brainer. 6 years ago, I would have had to spend at least $100 for a SanDisk equivalent (made with a robust metal enclosure). At almost a fifth of that price, if I knew about this product sooner, I would have purchased it already. Thus far very pleased.I did see a review reporting issues with bent pins. That can happen with any card reader if the CF cards are inserted without any care. My gear is getting pretty old, but I still get amazing performance from them. That's largely because I treat my gear with care and respect and, in exchange, expect the best performance. I hope to have this card reader for many years to come.

Works well and feels solid. Usually I only use the original manufacturer equipment sold from Red. Happy with this purchase.

Using it with a SanDisk Extreme Pro® CFexpress® Card Type B 512GBHuge raw files from my R5 transferred in the blink of an eye.• Grippy underside• nice textured surface on top• useful backwards compatible USB/C cableI wish it could be a bit smaller but overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

This thing works great. Can transfer from my cfexpress2 at 800mb/s without any slowing in speed. However I have two complaints. One, the cable is like 12 inches long which isn't great in a desktop environment but is probably fine for the travelers plugging into their macbook. Two, this thing NEVER goes to sleep and gets very hot when plugged in but not in use. Makes me worry about the longevity.

I just love this card reader with both the CF Express Type B, and SD card slots. It is so much faster than my previous card reader and you can copy from both cards simultaneously. I will buy it again, if i need to.

This reader is very fast. The previous type of Lexar reader I bought was not recognized by my computer/ This one is fast and works every time.

Super fast, great build, always reliable

It's very fast and quite useful. You should definitely have this in your toolkit if you are a photographer or work with anything that has a Mini SD. In my case I have a couple of drones and so I extract data and this is my go-to since it's really fast.Note. I haven't tried this with an adapter for USB 3 so I wouldn't know how fast or good it is. If you don't have USB C , than check other reviews before buying.

Quizá no sea el lector más barato pero con este tipo de tarjetas los costos en general se elevan. Es un lector rápido, incluye un cable de alta velocidad de transmisión de datos super práctico que ya tiene incluido un adaptador USB-C a USB-A en el mismo cable sin tener que cargar nada extra. El producto está super bien diseñado y super bien construido. Es de esas cosas en las que no hay que escatimar cuando necesitas trabajar con fotos o video en este tipo de tarjetas.

Works as it should. Got in on sale and it’s performing well. Have used Lexar memory cards for two decades. Genuine and competitive brand with right price.
