The Delkin USB 3.2 CFexpress Type A & SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader combines a compact design with high-speed transfers. It supports both CFexpress Type A and SDXC UHS-II cards, and includes two connection cables to fit common computer ports. The reader is built for photographers and videographers who need fast offloads and simple, portable storage for one CFexpress Type A card.
The reader uses a USB 3.2 interface that supports transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps on the CFexpress Type A slot. This bandwidth lets you offload large files—such as high-resolution RAW images and 8K, 4K, HD, and 3D video—more quickly than with older USB standards. The SD slot operates at USB 3.1 speeds and supports SDXC UHS-II cards. Overall, the reader helps reduce transfer times and streamlines your workflow when using compatible high-performance cards.
Note: XQD, CFexpress Type B, CFast 2.0, and CompactFlash memory cards are not compatible with this reader.
Delkin built the reader from anodized aluminum to provide stronger material durability and longer life. The design includes multiple heat sinks to help manage temperatures during sustained transfers. In addition, the reader offers internal storage for one CFexpress Type A card and ships with a rubber end cover to protect against bumps, impact, water exposure, dust, and other debris.
The reader measures 4.5 inches long and weighs less than 1/4 lb., making it easy to carry in a backpack, camera bag, laptop case, or small pouch. Because of its small size and included cables, you can access and transfer files in the field without carrying extra adapters.
Connect the reader directly to any USB-A or USB-C port using the supplied cables and access your files immediately. The device requires no drivers or external power for standard use. It is also backwards compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though transfer speeds will be limited by those older interfaces.
