Take Your Workflow Efficiency to the Next Level
The NX-SA1PRO is a CFexpress 4.0 Type A card reader/writer with a 40 Gb/s USB4 interface, whose maximum transfer rate is 5000 MB/s. This standard enables fast and reliable transfer of large data files, dramatically enhancing your workflow environment.
Maximize the Performance of CFexpress 4.0 Memory Cards
USB4 maximizes the high-speed transfer performance of CFexpress 4.0 Type A memory cards. When you use NX-SA1PRO with the NX-A2SE series, which has a max read speed of 1900 MB/s), this card reader can transfer data at speeds up to 1650 MB/s. This significantly reduces transfer times for large data files, streamlining your post-shoot workflow.
Stabilize High-Speed Transfers with Large Heatsink
To support the high-speed performance of CFexpress 4.0, Nextorage developed a large heatsink that enhances cooling efficiency inside the device. This design effectively suppresses any temperature increase of the memory card and card reader under high-speed transfer standards such as CFexpress 4.0 and USB4. Additionally, by minimizing the occurrence of thermal throttling, high-speed and stable data transfers can be realized, significantly improving work efficiency.
Compatible with Existing Devices
The 40 Gb/s USB4 standard delivers high-speed transfers while maintaining compatibility with previous standards, enabling long-term use with a wide range of devices.

Nextorage NX-SA1PRO Reviews

stay cool

The most impressive feature is that this little box stays cool/luke warm after intensive file transferring (300GB+). I had another brand that became burning hot after just a few minutes of usage. I guess it doesn't matter whether or not the case is plastic, as it performs pretty well. Very happy with the purchase!

Great build quality, excellent speeds

I bought this to transfer large files from my Sony FX30. Offloading files from CFexpress Type A cards is through the built-in USB-C port of the FX30 is still faster than using SD cards (~500MB/s), but if you're reading this review, you probably need something even faster. This credit-card-sized Nextorage reader is plastic, yes, but well-constructed and solid with a good heat sink. I didn't notice any heat build-up during large file transfers from my OWC Atlas Pro cards, which is something I was concerned about reading reviews of some other Type-A card readers. The included USB-4 cable is a nice touch, and I'm seeing consistent read speeds of 1500+ MB/s while offloading footage to my Mac. If you're in the market for a Type-A reader and need fast transfer speeds, this Nextorage reader is a great option to consider. I'm happy with my purchase and would buy this reader again.

What would be the IO speeds when used with a 2024 MacBook Pro M4 Max with Thunderbolt 5 ports?
Asked by: William
The Nextorage NX-SA1PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type A Card Reader (B&H# NENXSA1PRO) interfaces with compatible ports (such as those on your MacBook Pro M4) at a maximum speed of up to 40Gb/s), and also with the memory card at up to a theoretical maximum of 1650 MB/s (or 1.61GB/s which is about 12.89Gb/s). However, due to factors related to the communication process, one typically does not see speeds reach such maximums. As such, one might expect the throughput to reach not much more than 10Gb/s if using an especially fast memory card.
