Re: Need help with CF Express cards and card reader

The most likely culprit is your card reader, either hardware or an OS issue.  It’s unlikely in the extreme that all your cards are faulty, especially SanDisk.  Try using a USB-C cable of the appropriate type to transfer your images direct from the camera, that would eliminate the reader from your fault-finding process.

I use a SanDisk reader with an Integral 128GB CF-express type B card and have had no issues (Windows PC).

Recently I recovered images from a friend’s CFExpress card which had been formatted, but was not faulty.   I used my SanDisk reader and the free SanDisk recovery software (RescuePro which you should have received with your cards), which worked well.
