Review on πŸ’¨ High-Performance SanDisk Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Reader - SDDR-F451-GNGNN: Unleash Lightning-Fast Data Transfer Speeds by Shawn Reiter

Reader works great, included cable sucks

Reader works great. I experienced a sustained 400MB/s (3.2Gb/s) read on my Mac Pro. 4 minutes to copy a 93GB file. The cable included in the kit is complete garbage. It didn't fit properly in my Mac Pro's USB-C port (nor did it fit in the reader). I used another good quality USB-C cable that I already had and everything was fine. Why include a cable at all if it's just junk? The 3 stars are entirely due to the cable that came with it (and the fact that it took me a few minutes to troubleshoot). With a good cable it would be 5 stars. Finally, it's not listed, but the connector on the reader is USB-C.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • No insurance
