Does not work on Mulitple computers and OS
Disappointing -- Did not work out of the box.
Tried Win7, Win 10 , Laptops & Desktops. Nothing...LED was lit though .
Sorry to hear that you've been having difficulties with our CFASTRWU3.
This adapter should be plug and play and work right away out of the box. Please contact us and we would be happy to help get your setup working for you as quickly as possible.
Simple, Easy to use, Solid construction
I found this cFast reader to be very fast and work without issue. If you have ever used a CF reader you will love the speed difference in these newer readers. My Large files transferred quickly with no issues. A simple usb connection there is not much to go wrong.
The cable length is great for a laptop, If i was using my desktop I would need and extension or something longer.
Overall Great little Cfast transfer.
I received this in exchange for an unbiased review.
Great!!!
Plug and Play installation worked great. The data transfer speeds are great.
Works great!
Plug and play, just as it should be. Picked it up at a local camera store (Shutterbug in Eugene, OR). Only place around that I found that had a CFExpress card reader in stock. This thing was doing full 350MB/s onto my RAID SSDs, so 256GB were a breeze!
