Just ordered the 2 versions of the Sandisk Pro based on the strength of this review. The other model has the same matching cabinet design and dimensions and reads CF Cards type one: SD Cards UHS type ii and microSD UHS type ii cards: reader has 3 separate slots for the above. Type ii cards are backwards compatible which means type 1 cards can be read (and used) as well. These look like $$ well spent. 😊😊😊
Just found your channel! And its came at the best time possible, the sandisk professional does the job i need, to offload cards fast and not heat up the card like its in an oven! Your review has definitly made me happy in my purchase with a reader for my sandisk 512gb cfexpress card for my R5! Appectie it dude :)
Let’s go!!! So happy to hear that, Zach! I use that exact same setup and it’s so help offloading data from the R5 quickly. Glad this video helped, thanks so much for watching! :)
this video came up on YT when I searched "cfexpress type b reader" it was one of the top 3 shown so I wanted to leave that info here. Nice video, I just got the R5 (2 days ago) and I'm loving it as my EOSRP upgrade. I also wanted to say that I bought a CHEAP reader also on Amazon- returning tomorrow- and I might go for this one now. Nice videos man, keep them up!
Hey that's awesome to hear! Thanks for letting me know, Yves, and thank you for watching, too! So stoked to hear you're loving your R5, it's one of my favorite cameras I've ever used. Appreciate you man!!
I would love to see a test where a strong fan is blowing on the ProGrade to get some sort of indication if heat might be responsible for the slow down.
Would be curious to see the results between the ProGrade Thunderbolt 3 Reader and the Sandisk Pro. ProGrade offers 2 types of CFExpress readers, but the TB3 one is almost always sold out.
i would proffer that the difference may be down to SanDisk QuickFlow technology, which i know that that reader has, and IF your card is also QuickFlow enabled then that will likely be why.
Hey John! I’ve only had positive experiences with SanDisk. Their CF Express cards are super fast and reliable, and everyone I know who uses them, loves them. I agree though, it’s important to do deep research on these things! Thanks so much for watching!
Will the sandisk reader work with Angelbird cards? I've heard that some readers have issues with different brands. Will read one brand but won't read another one.
That totally works too! I actually used to do that for a long time just so I didn't take the cards in and out of my camera so much. But from personal experience, the in-camera transfer speed is a lot slower than using a CFExpress reader.
Terrific review. Hope you can review a iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) w/magic keyboard + pen sometime soon. Would love to hear your evaluation of these…Many thanks for this incisive review. 🙏😊
I just thought my CFexpress was hot after transfer because all the fire I shot on that card.

@@StevenSchultz Ayyyy G!!! Let's goo!! It helps so much being a content creator/CZcamsr, hopefully startimg next May when i travel for YT dude
may be cache on a mac. what you need to do is create two 256gb with different content of file for each reader then try to transfer again.
Anyone else notice that Strymon folder? 👀 Cool idea for a video, Steven!
Good EYE, Joe!!! That might make an appearance in a future video 👀 thanks so much for watching dude!!
So glad I’m not the only one

Also ordered mine based on this video. Thanks for testing stuff so we don't have to. :D
You’re going to love it! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I want more Future Steven in my life please
I would love to see a test where a strong fan is blowing on the ProGrade to get some sort of indication if heat might be responsible for the slow down.
Nice Test Steven - Thanks
Thanks for watching, Marc!!
i get confused w/memory cards & readers especially when I'm copying verses just moving, the speeds are all over the place
Thank you for that test!
Would be curious to see the results between the ProGrade Thunderbolt 3 Reader and the Sandisk Pro. ProGrade offers 2 types of CFExpress readers, but the TB3 one is almost always sold out.
Absolutely! I’ll look into that one for a potential future comparison. Thanks for watching, Luke!!
The ProGrade Thunderbolt is the one to go. Stefano
i would proffer that the difference may be down to SanDisk QuickFlow technology, which i know that that reader has, and IF your card is also QuickFlow enabled then that will likely be why.
so what about sandisk card? are they reliable? cfexpress are expensive so better to make a deeper research

Which model prograde reader did you use ? was it the dual slot usb 3.2 gen 2 ( 10Gbps) ? or ?
Doesn't your computer tell you the transfer speeds? I know 4 minutes is faster than 8 minutes.... but WHAT IS THE TRANSFER SPEED?
i have this sandisk reader and the fast Angelbird sx160 pro but only have 600MB/s. I will buy the prograde tb3 reader
Will the sandisk reader work with Angelbird cards? I've heard that some readers have issues with different brands. Will read one brand but won't read another one.
Great test... thank you.
How about just plug the usb cable from your camera to your laptop and transfer that way with the card inside your camera?
That totally works too! I actually used to do that for a long time just so I didn't take the cards in and out of my camera so much. But from personal experience, the in-camera transfer speed is a lot slower than using a CFExpress reader.
Very slow
Shit!
I am using that Prograde reader!
I hope any firmware update for it.
Any update?
Can I transfer to android phone and what can I expect sped and quality of footage??
You think the cf express card type B there wouldn't be such a massive time issue.
Is there any readers you recommend for usb 3.0 ? My iMac and MacBook Air do not have usb c unfortunately
Mac doesn't even show the transfer speed when you transfer files 🤯
Nope 😭😭
But we need you to use a type a!
It's reading cfexpress A or B ? Or both of them.
This reader is for cfexpress type B!
Will the San Disk CF Express Pro-Reader work with SD cards?
This one only works with CF Express! SanDisk makes a separate Pro-Reader for SD cards.
Terrific review. Hope you can review a iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) w/magic keyboard + pen sometime soon. Would love to hear your evaluation of these…Many thanks for this incisive review. 🙏😊
Here for techy short videos! Nerd alert
My man!! Glad someone else out there appreciates these :’)
I almost bought the wrong reader because of you! You didn’t tell us wtf is a cfexpress card my camera takes Dd cards not this crap.
