Review on Ritz Gear Video CFExpress Adapter by David Banks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More for less: computers and accessories

I really like this CFexpress kit and PCIe card readers because for the price I get 256GB and compared to SanDisk, Lexar and ProGrade cards I have to pay more for it and even less because these cards don't have a reader to be delivered. Also, the readers offered by these brands work over USB 3.0, not PCIe, and you don't get full transfer speeds due to USB limitations. This is why I get full high speed transfers with PCIe and you will see in my screenshots the speed tests I ran. One with an XQD card with a USB card reader and one with a Ritz CFexpress and a PCIe card reader. The speed difference is day and night and the 4K 30fps N-Log transfer from my Nikon Z6 is insanely fast and I haven't had any issues so far. I think the only downside is that you need a desktop to use and set this up. It's not like plug and play and obviously you can't take it with you, but I edit my shots and images when I get home so it doesn't bother me. Save money and grab this set. It does the same compared to other big brands and offers more

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
