Lexar Professional CFexpress Type A / SD USB 3.2 Gen 2 Reader, Designed for CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II Cards, High-Speed USB 10Gbps Transfer Speeds (LRW530U-RNBNG)

This little beast surprised me—in a good way. I use it mostly to transfer ROMs to my Anbernic handheld game console and photos from my still cam. For a reader that pushes these kinds of speeds, it’s shockingly compact. I’ve seen other "high-speed" card readers that look like they were designed to double as doorstops. Not this one. It fits in the palm of my hand and doesn’t make my backpack feel like I’m hauling bricks.Transfer speed? Ridiculously good. Like, “wait, that’s it?” levels of fast. I’ve moved gigabytes of footage and project files in what feels like seconds. And unlike my last reader, I didn’t have to go hunting for a micro SD adapter or some cursed dongle from the drawer of lost tech. USB-C plug, smooth sailing.Dislikes? Honestly, none for me. It does exactly what I bought it for and at a price that didn’t make me question my life choices. Some people might grumble about the cable length—yeah, it’s short—but for me, it's actually the perfect size. Long enough to reach, short enough not to tangle with everything else on my desk.Bottom line: If you need high-speed, plug-and-play reader in a pocket-sized package that won’t empty your wallet, this is the one to get. Just don’t lend it to a friend unless you never want to see it again.

This guy will max out with a V90 card around the 220-240 MB/s mark which is a significant jump for the Anker's 80 MP/s cap. That's three times the speed for only a few dollars more.Also love that Lexar made this reader have a pigtail instead of a straight connector. This helps to free up space on laptops or desktops with cramped IO ports.

Very satisfied. I got this when I started using CF Express cards in my camera and needed a better way to download the images. This has worked consistently for me and has been much faster than my older card readers.

I own a Canon R3 and this card reader reads the two card types used in my camera. Sure makes things convenient. I can also put both cards in at the same time and the computer will see them both at the same time lol. Reads fast and makes dumping large amounts of data very quick. I highly recommend it.

I've had this for a few months now and I like the packaging it came with and the cable option it came with. I didn't check the transfer speeds but it gets the job done in a short space of time. I must warn users that after transferring files it does tend to get hot sometimes. So be careful

The reason that I like this product is its durability and ease of use. Its compact size and dual-slot design are very practical. The brand reputation was a major factor for me. With reliable performance and compatibility with both USB-A/C, it's super versatile. The 205MB/s transfer speed is impressive, and the fact it supports both SD and microSD cards is a real bonus. The product really helps to declutter your workspace. Quite satisfied with this purchase.

This is a very solid purchase because of its multiple features. It supports both microSD and SD cards. The USB-A/C compatibility makes this versatile and easy to use, while Lexar's brand reputation assures quality. The transfer speed is quite impressive, and the durability speaks volumes. I appreciate the compact design and the dual-slot feature. And to top it all off, it's portable! This reader really ticks all the boxes.

I really wanted to like this one over the Unitek one because it was a little heavier, had a rubber base, and sat nicely on my desk because of this. The problem is it kept on making windows have an error that said I needed to repair the card. I tested both several times, and the Lexar one kept on corrupting the card whereas the Unitek one did not. I can add rubber feet to the Unitek one if I want to since I have that type of material, so I will be keeping the Unitek one and sending back the Lexar one. Note: These errors came up when using the Type 2 CFExpress card. I have not tested SD cards since my PC already has an SD card slot. The Lexar design is nice.... corrupting my cards is not!
