Can't find a card reader

[markyboy.1967]

im looking for an XQD card reader which also does CF cards so dual card slots. There are loads with various card slots but none that I can find that does both XQD and CF cards. Surely it would make sense for Sony or Lexar to produce a reader which does both their products. Anyone know of any card readers that do both?

Perhaps at the moment you'll need something like this ?

You can add the readers you wish - not sure about size, portability etc

Thanks for the reply. Looks a good bit bigger than i was wanting. Might need to have 2 seperate card readers.

Yes - I think they've got there measurements mixed up some...

Especially if you look at the main photo on Lexar's site, next to a laptop.

I have one of the four bay Lexars. Very fast and great for multiple downloads.

Good thing is you can buy the individual readers separately and use them on their own or in the hub. They are just plug and play USB 3.0. I tend to take one out with me if I am away, but the multi is useful at home for multiple downloads.

and they fit in the palm of your hand.

You can get them in CF, XQD and SD varieties and mix them up too.

The hub is now in iteration HR2, but there is little difference from HR1 except for thunderbolt compatibility.

Just note the hub at Amazon does not automatically include any actual card readers. They are an extra, but unless you have need for multiple fast downloads then just buy the readers themselves. Interestingly the advert above doesn't mention XQD but they do make a reader. Try Calumet or someone similar.
