Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by connecting the Sony Card Reader to your computer using the included USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable. Plug the USB connector into an available USB-A port on your desktop, laptop, or workstation. The reader requires no external power supply and will be recognized automatically by Windows, macOS, or Linux operating systems. Once connected, the reader will appear as external storage devices in your file manager or Finder window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInsert your CFexpress Type A card into the primary slot and your SD\/SDHC\/SDXC card into the secondary slot. Both cards can be accessed simultaneously, allowing you to copy files from either card independently or perform parallel transfers if your storage system supports it. For optimal performance, ensure your computer has sufficient available storage space and that you are using USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatible ports to achieve maximum transfer speeds. After data transfer is complete, safely eject both cards through your operating system before physically removing them from the reader to prevent data corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes this reader support CFexpress Type B cards?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this Sony Card Reader is specifically designed for CFexpress Type A cards only. CFexpress Type B cards have different physical dimensions and pin configurations and are not compatible with this reader. If you require Type B support, you will need a dedicated CFexpress Type B card reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the maximum capacity of SD cards supported?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reader supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards with capacities up to 2TB in theory, though current market availability extends to 1TB SDXC cards. The reader automatically recognizes card capacity and formats without requiring manual configuration or firmware updates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this reader with USB 2.0 ports?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the reader will function with USB 2.0 ports, transfer speeds will be severely limited to approximately 35-40 MB\/s due to USB 2.0's 480 Mbps bandwidth limitation. To achieve the full 312 MB\/s read speeds from CFexpress Type A cards, you must use USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher compatible ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the reader support simultaneous reads from both card slots?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the dual-slot architecture enables simultaneous reading from both CFexpress Type A and SD card slots. However, the total transfer bandwidth is shared between both slots, so simultaneous transfers may not achieve the full 312 MB\/s speed for each card individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this reader compatible with UHS-II SD cards?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the reader is fully compatible with UHS-II and UHS-III SD cards. The reader automatically detects the card type and operates at the appropriate speed. UHS-II cards will achieve faster transfer rates compared to standard SD cards when used with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhen will I receive my order?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 1-5 business days from our Bengaluru warehouse.
