PGYTECH CreateMate CFexpress Type B/SD Reviews

Only worked well for a year

By Paul
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-06

Loved the Design, fast transfer speeds and memory storage all-in-one of this unit. Great for travel photography. But after only a year of use (maybe 10-15K photos) I'm having issues transferring photos onto my laptop and desktop computers. Somedays it works like a tank. Somedays I have to eject and reconnect 3 or 4 times to get it to work properly. someday not at all. I don't mind paying up for a smart well designed, solidly built piece of Tech, but for $100 bucks I expected it to last a lot longer then a year.

Performs well but is a bit clunky

The transfer speeds have worked well for me. It will definitely keep your cards secure. It is a bit bulky when it is open for transferring files and the cable is a bit short. But overall does what it needs to do.

Does this "require" a power supply? Says "An external auxiliary power supply port supports up to 5V/2A of power"
Asked by: James
The PGYTECH CreateMate CFexpress Type B/SD Card Reader Case does not require an external power supply. It is able to get power from the USB-C port. The external auxiliary power supply port is there because there are some phones or tablets that are not powerful enough to power the card reader via USB-C then you need to use the external power supply, but that usually only happens when using an adapter from USB-C to a lightning connector to be used on older iPhones or iPads.
