BoYata CF201Input PCIe Card Reader 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-HZ5S-V5FXZ MPN CF201Input

PCIe card reader with CFexpress slot transfers images and 4K video at up to 16 Gbps

  • Protects cards with unique voltage and current overload safeguard
  • Works with OS X and Linux without extra drivers
  • Plug-and-play installation enables automatic identification and stable operation
  • Reads camera files at high performance for fast image transfer
  • PCIe specification delivers up to 16 Gbps theoretical speed

PCIe card reader for photographers

The BoYata CF201Input installs in a PCIe slot and adds a CFexpress Type B reader to a desktop workstation. It targets photographers and videographers who offload high-resolution stills and 4K footage directly from camera cards. Plug-and-play operation works without extra drivers on supported operating systems. The card follows PCIe specifications with up to 16 Gbps theoretical throughput.

Thermals noise and power

The adapter draws power from the PCIe slot and has no active cooling, so it adds no audible noise to the system. Overload protection guards the inserted memory card against voltage and current spikes during transfer. Passive operation keeps temperatures in line with surrounding components under normal workloads. No external power connector is required.

Build integration

A single PCIe slot provides both the data path and the power the reader needs. The CFexpress Type B front port frees up USB ports and avoids cable clutter when ingesting large 4K video files. Compatibility with OS X and Linux lets the card slide into mixed-OS studios without driver hunting. The bracket occupies one expansion slot at the rear of the chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CF201Input PCIe card reader, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard, secure it with the bracket screw, then boot the system; the step often missed is fastening the bracket screw, which keeps the CFE port aligned for reliable card insertion.

What maintenance or replacement will the CF201Input need over time?

The CFE port springs can fatigue after repeated card cycles; if cards become loose or read errors appear, replace the add-in card — no firmware updates or driver reinstallation are required.

What limit appears first during sustained 4K video transfers on the CF201Input?

The PCIe interface caps theoretical throughput at 16 Gbps, so sustained large-file copies will hit that bandwidth ceiling before the CFE media or the host CPU becomes the bottleneck.
