Product Information

Full details

The PGYTECH CreateMate CFexpress A/SD Reader & Case is for photographers and content creators needing efficient data transfer and secure storage on the go. Its key benefit is combining high-speed reading for CFexpress Type A and SD cards with ample storage for multiple card types and SIM cards, all within a durable, IP54-rated enclosure. A potential caveat is the reliance on an auxiliary power supply for optimal stability during intensive transfers, though it remains functional without it for basic use.

FAQs

Does this reader support CFexpress Type B cards?

No, this specific model (PGYTECH P-GM-164) is designed for CFexpress Type A cards only. PGYTECH offers other models that support Type B.

Can I use this reader with my smartphone or tablet?

Yes, it is compatible with Android and iPadOS devices that support USB-C and OTG (On-The-Go) functionality. No additional app is usually required for basic file access.

What is the purpose of the auxiliary USB-C power port?

The auxiliary port allows you to connect an external 5V2A power supply. This ensures a stable and consistent power flow, which is beneficial for uninterrupted data transfer, especially when working with large files or power-hungry CFexpress cards.

How many of each card type can this case hold?

The case has dedicated slots for up to three CFexpress Type A cards, three SD cards, and four microSD cards. It also includes space for two nano SIM cards.

Is the reader waterproof?

The reader has an IP54 rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and splash water. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

What is the theoretical maximum data transfer speed?

With its USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface, the theoretical maximum transfer speed is up to 1000MB/s for CFexpress Type A cards and up to 312MB/s for UHS-II SD/microSD cards.

Does it come with an adapter for microSD to SD?

Yes, a high-speed Micro SD to SD card adapter is included, supporting SD 4.0 standards for microSD cards.

Troubleshooting

Reader not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the reader and the device. Try a different USB port or a different USB-C cable. If using a hub, connect the reader directly to the computer. Consider connecting the auxiliary power supply.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that your device's USB port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). Ensure the cards themselves are capable of high-speed transfer. Connect the auxiliary 5V2A power supply for optimal performance, especially with CFexpress cards.

Card not reading or ejecting properly

Safely eject the card from your operating system first, then physically remove it. Clean the card slot and the card contacts. Use the provided eject pin to assist with removal if necessary.

Reader disconnects during transfer

Connect the auxiliary 5V2A power supply to ensure stable power delivery. Close unnecessary background applications on your device that might be consuming resources. Check the USB cable for damage.
