[Aluminum] Works great as expected with no need for plugins or drivers or any of that mess. I appreciate that it comes with both USB C and A cables so I never have a compatibility issue with older edit bays. 10gb/s is fast enough for my Sony Alpha and FX3 footage and love the small size and aesthetic that matches my MacBook Pro computer and can fit in the smallest pockets of my bag or in my own pocked if need be. It feels very durable in my hands and doesn't have the cheap plastic reflection look like a lot of other junk that feels disposable. In the end this would be a perfect card reader at this cost to keep in all my camera bags or laptop bag as primaries and backups to speed up a day and prevent forgetfulness [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[USB Bus Power] Second slot for the card reader does not work. Pretty pricey for a card reader for such a faulty product.

[USB Bus Power] Great price no problems on Sony FX3

[0.305 lb] Great cards for quick and reliable file saves. Lots of room for your larger digital files and easily transfers with the Prograde card reader.

[USB Bus Power] Best card I've found for a9iii

[0.305 lb] This reader works just as advertised, right out of the box. I've had zero issues. Plug it in and the computer sees it right away. There's no need for downloading drivers, it is truly plug and play. And I love its size, nice and small. You could easily put it in your laptop bag or even a pocket if you needed to do so. It provides fast transfer speeds; specs say the USB 3.2 Gen 2 gives speeds up to 10 Gb/s. It's been more than enough speed for my needs. The build quality is fantastic. It is made of aluminum which keeps it very lightweight but still very strong. It is very sturdy. The aluminum material also helps to dissipate the heat. The ports also seem well-made. The USB-C cables fit snug and secure. It has a soft material bottom that keeps it in place on your desk and prevents any scratching. It has a little blue led light that lets you know it is communicating with the computer too, which is very helpful and I appreciate. If you've had a reader without an LED indicator, you know how annoying that can be. Both card slots have a push locking system that is receptive and responsive. The reader itself has a bus powered USB-C port, but the reader comes with both a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-A cable. This is very helpful. Most of my computers have the faster USB-C ports, but my older MacBook Pro only has USB-A, so to have that flexibility is appreciated. This is a great card reader, well-made, easy to use and has fast transfer speeds. It's working great for me. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[Aluminum] Did continuous shooting test with it on Canon R3 (CR3C) mode , 30 Fps approximately 440 continues photos with it and when it hits the buffer max the delay time is not that bad (1 sec to 2 secs) and it starts shooting , in case of other CFexpress cards the delay time way more maybe up to (3 secs and up) and u feel the camera completely stops for recording and approximately 350 of continues shooting with 30 fps , for the 15 fps and (CR3C) the camera doesn't stop shooting at all with this card

[USB Bus Power] Works wonderful on a Z8 does not seem to get hot at all

[0.305 lb] Works as expected. Small and compact. I didn't notice any extreme heat but it did get warm. However, I download my images then disconnect. Downloaded fast to an SSD.

One of the cables was INOP on the first reader so returned everything and B&H replaced it all without a problem.

[USB Bus Power] I have had issues with other readers in the past with inconistent speeds or connectivity but this one has been rock solid so far.
It it is as fast the fastest I had tried but much more consistent reading and writing to the cards during all my tests.
