Unlike all of the ones you can buy on Amazon, this is the only one I could find that worked on Apple chip equipped MacBooks and Macs. The cheapies on Amazon will not recognize on Finder on an Apple device. Expensive, but it's your only choice if you have a Mac.

Card Reader Sony XQD/CFexpress

Works fast, makes downloads quicker and more simpler. Used to wait depending on how many photos were on my card, but this card great reduces that time. Although somewhat expensive, but XQD cards are expensive as well, and you need this card reader to read and download. One great thing about it is that it is also CFexpress ready. As it seems XQD may become a thing of the past.

Hi. This is good product and worked for what I needed it for: Transferring images from my XQD card to my iPad Pro into Lightroom mobile. This is accomplished via USB-C. One thing I noticed is I had to connect directly to the USB-C port on the iPad. I could not connect via the port on the Magic keyboard. Transfer is fast as expected with XOD. There are probably other manufacturers that do the same thing, but I went with SONY since I use the SONY XQD card which are equally reliable. Other benefit: Much easier to use than connect directly to your camera. Transfers with the camera drain your battery in a quick manner and are slow.

I use this with my Nikon D850 because it takes the XQD cards and this is the best one out there.
Backup data and increase productivity with this Sony CFexpress memory card reader. Compatibility with XQD and CFexpress Type B cards provides fast read and write speeds, letting you copy large 4K video files to your computer quickly. This Sony CFexpress memory card reader has a USB port for simple connection to laptops, desktops and tablets.

Although I’d like this to be a bit smaller, it does fit in my bag nicely. This file transfers from this to my iPad are blazing fast!! No software was needed. My Apple Photos sees it and allows for easy import.

XQD and CF Express allows transition

I shoot XQD and CF and camera can’t take advantage of added speed so why invest in CF Express? With a firmware upgrade, my camera should be able to use it but not take advantage of speed except for download to computer. Currently, SanDisk is on sale far below Sony reg price so overall cheaper assuming brands are fully compatible. Many PC’s come with CF slot so getting XQD/normal Cf has no advantage and XQD only solution limits expansion. Lose star for price.

Quality (Sony), fast card reader. Speed is essential for work flow when using a 45 megapixel camera. It does get warm when in use so don't block it's ventilation...just my personal opinion on that!

This Sony card reader for CFexpress/XQD cards works great and it allows me to shoot with either card in my Nikon Z cameras.
Faster downloads when using this card reader rather than connecting the camera to the computer.

I have purchased two of these, one for use with a Mac Studio and the other for use with a Windows PC. If you use CFExpress/XQD memory cards then this is a nice compact reader that can be used at home as well as on the road. The USB-C cable is detachable and so it makes it easy to store the reader and cable in small pockets when on the road. I have tested this with CFExpress cards used in Nikon cameras (Z7II and Z9) and it works as expected.

I was debating on couple options available in Best Buy then decided give this one a try based on its higher rating. It works great, connecting and transferring speeds are super fast compared to all other cars readers I had.
The reason I gave 4 stars is that the cable is very short.

A lot of full frame cameras use XQD and/or CFexpress Type B memory cards. They look the same, but unless your equipment is made to use both, are not interchangeable. This card reader can be used with BOTH cards. Sony has made a great card reader.
