Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B & SD UHS-II Card Reader – 10 Gb/s Dual-Slot Transfers

The difference is immediate. The Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B Card and SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader is built for photographers, filmmakers, content creators, editors, and production professionals who cannot afford to waste time waiting for massive files to transfer. Combining CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II card support in one compact dual-slot reader, this professional-grade device streamlines your workflow by eliminating the need to carry multiple readers for different media formats. At its core is a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with up to 10 Gb/s bandwidth, giving you the connection performance needed to move high-resolution RAW images, 4K footage, 8K video, Full HD content, and other data-heavy media efficiently between your memory cards and computer. The dedicated SD slot supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC media with UHS-II technology, offering an interface speed of up to 312 MB/s, while the separate CFexpress Type B slot accommodates the high-performance cards widely used in modern professional cinema and mirrorless camera systems. This two-format design makes the Delkin DDREADER-56 especially valuable for hybrid shooters whose cameras use CFexpress Type B for demanding video or burst photography while retaining SD media for backup, secondary recording, or everyday shooting. Whether you are transferring a full day of production footage, ingesting thousands of RAW photographs, backing up client work, or preparing files for post-production, this reader gives you a faster and cleaner way to move your content from camera media to your editing system.

Built for real production environments rather than occasional consumer use, the Delkin Devices DDREADER-56 CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II Card Reader combines performance with a durable, travel-ready design. Its anodized aluminum housing offers a more robust alternative to lightweight plastic card readers, while multiple integrated heat sinks help manage heat during prolonged file transfers—a particularly useful advantage when working with high-performance CFexpress media and large video projects. Even more practical is the reader's integrated CFexpress Type B card storage capability, which allows a card to remain stored inside the reader when it is not being used for data transfer. A protective rubber end cover helps shield the stored card from everyday bumps, dust, debris, accidental impact, and environmental exposure while you are traveling between locations. This clever design allows the reader to function as both a professional transfer tool and a convenient protective carrier for your valuable CFexpress media. Connectivity is equally flexible. The reader uses a USB Type-C host connection and includes both a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and USB Type-C to Type-A cable, allowing you to connect it to current USB-C workstations, laptops, and editing systems as well as compatible computers that still rely on traditional USB-A ports. Because the DDREADER-56 is USB bus powered, there is no bulky external power supply to carry, no separate wall adapter to connect, and no unnecessary setup when you need to offload files in the field. Simply connect the reader to a compatible computer and start working. Its plug-and-play operation also keeps the workflow straightforward, making it an excellent choice for studios, production crews, DIT stations, photographers working on location, videographers traveling between shoots, and creators who need a dependable portable card reader in their camera bag.

Buy the Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B Card and SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader if you want a versatile professional reader that brings speed, durability, convenience, and dual-format compatibility together in one device. Measuring approximately 4.5 × 2 × 0.7 inches (115 × 50 × 18 mm) and weighing only around 4 oz / 0.1 kg, it is compact enough for mobile production kits without sacrificing the rugged aluminum construction professionals expect from equipment used every day. Its USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gb/s interface, CFexpress Type B compatibility, SD UHS-II support up to 312 MB/s, dual supplied USB cables, passive thermal management, internal CFexpress storage feature, and bus-powered operation create a compelling package for anyone looking to upgrade from slower or single-format memory card readers. The reader also supports Delkin's FIXED and REMOVABLE operating modes, providing additional workflow flexibility for users who need to balance maximum transfer performance with applications that require removable-media behavior. In FIXED mode, users can prioritize performance, while REMOVABLE mode can provide more direct file-management flexibility in compatible software and workflows. Backed by a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty, the DDREADER-56 adds another layer of confidence for professionals purchasing equipment that may see frequent use in demanding photography, filmmaking, broadcast, studio, and post-production environments. Instead of buying separate CFexpress Type B and SD readers, carrying extra hardware, switching devices between cards, or settling for an entry-level reader that may not match the demands of modern high-resolution media, choose a solution designed to consolidate your workflow. If faster file offloads, fewer accessories, professional construction, flexible computer connectivity, and convenient card protection matter to your production setup, buy the Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B Card and SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader today and upgrade your media-transfer workflow with one powerful, dependable dual-slot reader.

Features:

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Interface Delivers Up to 10 Gb/s Bandwidth

The Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B Card and SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader uses a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with up to 10 Gb/s of theoretical bandwidth, providing the connectivity needed for demanding professional media transfers. This is particularly valuable when offloading large RAW photo libraries, high-resolution image sequences, and 4K or 8K video footage. Faster transfers can reduce the time spent waiting for media to copy and help photographers, videographers, and production teams move more efficiently from capture to backup, editing, and delivery. Actual speeds depend on the memory card, computer, destination storage, cable, and other system factors.

Dual-Slot CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II Card Support

Instead of requiring separate readers for different camera media, the DDREADER-56 combines one CFexpress Type B slot and one SD UHS-II slot in a single compact device. This makes it especially useful for professional and hybrid camera workflows where CFexpress Type B serves as the primary high-performance recording medium while SD cards are used for secondary recording, backup, or everyday photography. Consolidating both formats into one reader means fewer accessories to purchase, pack, connect, and manage.

High-Speed SD UHS-II Interface Up to 312 MB/s

The dedicated SD slot supports UHS-II technology with an interface capability of up to 312 MB/s, allowing compatible high-performance SD cards to operate beyond the limitations associated with conventional UHS-I interfaces. For photographers working with large RAW files or videographers routinely filling high-capacity SD cards, this higher-bandwidth interface can make media ingestion more efficient when the card and host system are capable of taking advantage of it.

Professional CFexpress Type B Media Compatibility

A dedicated CFexpress Type B slot makes the reader suitable for modern professional cameras that rely on high-performance CFexpress media for high-resolution photography, fast continuous shooting, and data-intensive video recording. Rather than relying on a generic multi-card reader built primarily around consumer media formats, the DDREADER-56 provides a purpose-built interface for CFexpress Type B workflows.

Built for High-Resolution RAW, 4K and 8K Workflows

The reader is designed for demanding professional media workflows involving high-resolution RAW photography, 4K video, 8K video, Full HD footage, and other large media files. These applications can generate substantial amounts of data during a single shoot, making an efficient card-to-computer transfer workflow essential. The DDREADER-56 helps bridge the gap between high-performance camera media and editing or backup storage without forcing creators to manage multiple dedicated readers.

Anodized Aluminum Housing for Professional Durability

Delkin equips the DDREADER-56 with a durable anodized aluminum enclosure, giving it a more robust construction than basic plastic card readers. The metal housing is particularly beneficial for professionals who regularly transport equipment between studios, client locations, sets, and outdoor shoots. Its construction helps make the reader better suited to repeated use while maintaining a compact, professional design.

Multiple Heat Sinks Help Manage Transfer Heat

Sustained transfers from high-performance memory cards can produce significant heat, particularly with CFexpress media. The DDREADER-56 incorporates multiple heat sinks to improve passive cooling and heat dissipation during operation. Better thermal management is an important advantage for workflows involving large volumes of data, where transfers may continue for extended periods rather than only a few minutes.

Integrated CFexpress Type B Card Storage

One of the DDREADER-56's most distinctive practical features is its ability to store a CFexpress Type B card inside the reader when the card is not being actively transferred. This combines two pieces of essential production equipment—the reader and card storage—into one portable solution. For photographers and filmmakers moving quickly between locations, having a designated place for a valuable CFexpress card can also simplify equipment organization.

Rubber End Cover Adds Protection During Transport

The integrated CFexpress storage design is complemented by a rubber protective end cover. When fitted, the cover helps shield a stored CFexpress Type B card from common travel and handling hazards such as dust, debris, bumps, and environmental exposure. This feature makes the DDREADER-56 particularly convenient for field production, although it should not be interpreted as an official waterproof, dustproof, or IP-rated enclosure.

USB-C to USB-C Cable Included for Modern Workstations

A USB Type-C to Type-C cable is included, allowing the reader to connect directly to compatible modern laptops, desktops, and professional workstations equipped with USB-C ports. This makes it easy to integrate the reader into contemporary photography and video-editing setups without requiring an additional adapter or separately purchased USB-C cable.

USB-C to USB-A Cable Expands Computer Compatibility

Delkin also supplies a USB Type-C to Type-A cable, providing additional flexibility for computers and workstations that use conventional USB-A ports. Having both cable types included means professionals working across multiple computers can carry a single reader rather than maintaining different readers or adapters for different host connectors. Available performance will depend on the USB standard supported by the connected port.

USB Bus Power Eliminates a Separate Power Adapter

The DDREADER-56 receives its operating power directly through its USB connection, eliminating the need for an external AC adapter. This reduces cable clutter at a permanent editing workstation and, more importantly, means one less accessory to carry when working remotely. Connect the reader to a compatible computer and it receives both power and data connectivity through the USB interface.

Plug-and-Play Operation Keeps Setup Simple

The reader is designed for straightforward plug-and-play operation, with no additional driver installation required for normal use. For professionals moving between workstations or working under tight production deadlines, this minimizes setup time and makes it easier to integrate the reader into an existing media-management workflow.

FIXED Mode Prioritizes Maximum Reader Performance

The DDREADER-56 supports Delkin's FIXED operating mode, which is intended to prioritize maximum reader and card performance. This gives performance-focused users an operating option suited to workflows where fast media ingestion is more important than modifying files directly on the card through applications that expect removable-media behavior.

REMOVABLE Mode Provides Greater Workflow Flexibility

A REMOVABLE operating mode is also available for workflows where applications need the memory card to behave as removable storage. This can be useful when working directly with card-based files in compatible software. There is a performance tradeoff: Delkin states that REMOVABLE mode on a PC can reduce read performance by up to 50% and write performance by up to 20%, making the selectable modes useful for choosing between maximum performance and specific workflow requirements.

Compact Design Packs Dual-Format Capability Into a Portable Reader

Despite accommodating two professional card formats and an aluminum enclosure, the reader measures approximately 4.5 × 2 × 0.7 inches (115 × 50 × 18 mm) and weighs around 4 oz (0.1 kg). Its compact footprint makes it easy to add to a camera bag, laptop case, mobile DIT station, or travel production kit without introducing significant bulk.

One Reader Reduces the Amount of Equipment You Need to Carry

Combining CFexpress Type B, SD UHS-II, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity into one device can significantly simplify a professional media kit. Users who shoot with cameras employing both CFexpress and SD media can avoid carrying two dedicated readers, while the included cables reduce the need for additional adapters. The result is a cleaner desktop workflow and a more efficient field kit.

Designed for Photography, Cinema, Broadcast and Content Production

The combination of high-bandwidth USB connectivity, CFexpress Type B support, UHS-II SD compatibility, thermal management, and durable construction makes the DDREADER-56 particularly suited to professional photography, filmmaking, broadcast, studio, DIT, and post-production environments. It is designed around workflows where large media files need to be transferred reliably and efficiently rather than simply serving as an occasional consumer SD card reader.

Five-Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty Adds Long-Term Value

Delkin backs the DDREADER-56 with a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty, adding an important value consideration for professionals investing in equipment expected to see frequent use. For buyers comparing professional card readers, warranty coverage complements the reader's aluminum construction and workflow-focused design by providing additional manufacturer support over an extended ownership period.

A Complete Dual-Format Solution for Faster, Cleaner Media Management

The strongest overall selling point of the Delkin Devices USB 3.2 CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II Memory Card Reader is how many workflow requirements it consolidates into one compact device. Users get CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II support, a 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, UHS-II capability up to 312 MB/s, aluminum construction, multiple heat sinks, integrated CFexpress storage, protective card coverage, USB-C and USB-A connectivity, bus-powered operation, selectable operating modes, and a 5-year limited warranty. For professionals who want to carry less equipment, simplify media ingestion, and build a more efficient photo or video workflow, the DDREADER-56 provides a compelling alternative to juggling multiple single-format readers.

It is so nice to see a small family owned shop instead of these big box stores. I generally felt cared about when getting my blackmagic cinema camera. Love the quality of the images and how easy it is to use.

Abriana Carnes

This small business has the best customer service HANDS DOWN!!

Lucas worked with me diligently to help me find a camera that would fit my needs and that would arrive in time for my trip. I take photos, but wanted a smaller, more compact camera to take with me when traveling. He even reached out to other camera experts to make sure he was giving me the best advice for the equipment that would accommodate my needs!

Lucas was patient with me and was in constant contact with the camera supplier to keep me updated on the status of my order and when the items would be ready for shipment. Once my order arrived to the store, it was in my hands in less than 2 days. I would give 10 stars to this business if I could!!

SHOP SMALL! :)

Raymond Mora

AMAZING SERVICE!
In short: I was able to receive the black colorway below retail and free next day shipping with the promos that they offered for being a new camera web-shop based from AZ.

Long story: Lucas who is prolly the only rep for the company cuz they're so small is the best dude ever. Since i ordered he responded on emails and updates quicker than some of my friends texting me back about where am at on the list as people just kept cancelling their order. I went from 9th place in line to 4th place in line for the silver. And he hit me up saying that they were still waiting on Fuji to send shipping updates and that no company knows what they get on their weekly fuji shipments other than from a 24 hour window of receiving shipping details.

He then noted that there were two black X100Vs available that were reserved to customers who ordered but have not confirmed. I said if they dont confirm please let me know and ill take that instead of the silver. The next day he hits me saying the customer said to cancel and he sent me an invoice. I ordered accessories for the camera on amazon right after and my package for the camera came before my amazon package. Lucas was super nice and transparent about everything. Dope experience from NUZIRA.

Lucas was so incredibly helpful!!! I’ve genuinely never had better customer service. They offered to stay late so I could get my order and were so patient with all my questions. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

NUZIRA MADE MY MONTH!

I was a little concerned when I first came across this small business but I am so so thankful I di! They have the NICESt staff and customer service. I have been on the waitlist for this camera for a few months now so when Lucas called saying they had it back in stock I was so freaking excited! Made my whole month. This camera absolutely lives up to the hype. I love how lightweight it is. I can pop it into any bag and head out the door. the images are crisp, high quality, and stunning. I use film sim and not film sim. The film simulations are nearly identical to real film. I have another fuji camera that does film sim but it can't even be compared to this one. I love my Fujifilm X100v so much! Amazing camera! Thanks you Nuzira!
