CompactFlash card reader with USB 3.0

The PixelFlash CF Card Reader connects CompactFlash media to a computer through a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed interface. Photographers and videographers who need to offload large image, video and audio files from professional cameras can use it with Lexar, SanDisk, Kingston, PixelFlash and Samsung cards. It works on Windows XP and later, macOS 10.x and later, Linux and Android devices.

Sustained transfer performance

The adapter is optimised for UDMA-7 CompactFlash cards and delivers up to 5 Gb/s over USB 3.0. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ports allows the reader to function on older systems, though at the lower speed of that interface. The No-Bend Pins design keeps the electrical connection stable during long copy sessions, preventing the pin damage that can interrupt sustained throughput.

Thermals noise and power draw

The reader draws power directly from the USB port and has no moving parts, so it runs silently and produces negligible heat during normal use. A shockproof, anti-scratch shell with stainless-steel screws protects the internal electronics from physical stress in field and travel conditions. The compact, bus-powered form factor adds no audible noise or thermal load to a workstation or laptop setup.
