ProGrade Digital announces dual-slot card readers: the CFexpress Type B / SDXC UHS-II Dual-Slot USB 4.0 Card Reader (PG05.7) and the CFexpress Type A / SDXC™ UHS-II Dual-Slot USB 4.0 Card Reader (PG09.7). Designed for professional creators using CFexpress and SDXC UHS-II media, both readers leverage the latest USB 4.0 technology to deliver data transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s when paired with CFexpress 4.0 (PCIe Gen 4). Both models also feature ProGrade Digital’s patented magnetic base and include an adhesive metal plate for secure mounting to a variety of work surfaces, such as the back of a laptop, and it ships with a certified USB 4.0 cable. The PG05.7 and PG09.7 will be available for purchase by the end of May 2026.

“We are pleased to introduce two new USB 4.0 dual-slot readers to our portfolio of professional workflow products,” said Wes Brewer, founder and CEO of ProGrade Digital. “Working closely with our technology partners, we engineered a low-power, high-performance solution for a bus-powered CFexpress 4.0 + SDXC UHS-II reader. Building on the success of our USB 3.2 dual-slot models, the move to USB 4.0 required significant advancements in architecture, cooling, and packaging. These two new readers represent the culmination of that lengthy development effort.”
