There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've had this for a year, and it's done its job of transferring data from the card to the laptop. No issues. No hiccups.
I won't (can't) speak to its transfer rate because I'm just a user, not a techie.
The main reason I chose this over less expensive readers is because I have Angelbird cards. The only way I can update the cards' firmware is by using this Angelbird reader.
The one thing that I'm not keen on is the recessed port for connecting the supplied USB-C cable. The depth should be shallower or the rectangular end-blocks of the cable should be longer. As it is, you need to push/pull the short, semi-rigid tail to seat/unseat the cable. Not great for long-term reliability. (You teach kids to connect/disconnect an electrical cord by pushing/pulling the PLUG BLOCK. Not by pushing/pulling the cord.)
The recessed port also limits you to Angelbird cables. The rectangular end-blocks on generic USB-C cables are too short. You need to push/pull the flexible cable to connect/disconnect. That's asking for trouble.
If you want/need a longer cable, you have to buy Angelbird's (frankly, OVERpriced) cable.
*** As a side note, if you ever need support for any of Angelbird's products, they are GREAT. I've had no problems with the reader, but I've had to contact them a couple of times about my AV Pro cards. They were easy to reach and responsive. Their Customer Support/Service is excellent. Just remember that they're in Austria...
it works fine however I was not able to update the firmware as illustrated by Angelbird website and guidelines, this didn't work on Mac-ventura unfortunately.
but the cf card worked as expected and even copying the videos on the computer was fast.
************************STAY WAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND*********************************
So not only did the Angelbird NOT maximize my 20 Gbps connection it was SLOWER.
2nd, when I went to use a longer (36" vs the included 18") the "hole" that you have to slide the cable into is a "proprietary" flat shape that only accepts Angelbird cables. I tried 3 other "official USB I/F certified cables" USB 3.2 Gen2x2 cables (They tend to be much thicker than "generic" USB-C cables) and all of them did not fit and thus you are required to buy a $26 Angelbird proprietary cable (https://www.amazon.com/Angelbird-USB-3-2-Cable-100cm/dp/B07RQQ2RJN/ref=sr_1_4) if you want to get from the back of the desktop to the front.
The only reason I did not give it 2 stars was that Angelbird support did reply, but said that was the "expected" performance.

(出品者に写真を更新したほうがいいと連絡しておきました。)
使用方法も単純でPCにケーブルつないでカードを差すだけでよいので簡単です。
もう10日程度データ移行(データ数だと100近いかも)しましたが特に問題なく使えています。
(この商品の問題ではないので括弧書きにします。
CFカードでの保存データは自ずと10GB超えてくると思いますが、このデータをスムーズに移行するには
かなりのマシンスペックが必要だと思います。マシンスペック最低くらいのPCだと10GBのデータ移行に
5分くらいかかっているかと思います。)
ただし単純に高すぎると思います。Angelbird製のCFカードを購入したのでやむなくこのカードリーダを買いましたが、他社から出ているカードリーダと比べるとこの値段は最高値くらいになっています。もう少し値を下げないと売れなくなるのではないでしょうか?
(他社のCFカードの性能とか知らないので、値段の妥当性とは分からない人が勝手に書いてます。)
