Looking for CFast 2.0 and compact flash card reader

Sportseditor123 — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 13:40:51 GMT

Does anyone know of a quality CFast 2.0 and compact flash combo card reader?

I want one that has both.

The one I bought on Amazon doesn't work with the compact flash card. Have to jam in the card, and a Mac doesn't recognize it. PC keeps beeping that something has been inserted, then taken out. Never shows up. Can't be the card. It fits fine in the camera.
Adorama and B&H don't have any.

You bought one of the cheap, no-name Chinese items, which are numerous on Amazon.

I just did a little looking and found several known, brand name models with just Cfast and Cfast/SD combos. Pay more and get more.

None of those are what I'm looking for.

I want a CFast 2.0 card and a compact flash card reader.

Perhaps the cheap Chinese makers are the only ones making what you want. Maybe the two card types don't work in a combo. Buy a good Cfast reader and a separate CF reader.
