Why It’s Better Compared to Market Options

Many card readers for CFexpress Type A are bulky or only partially support full bandwidth. The Angelbird PKT is one of the few truly portable options that delivers full 10 Gbps speeds without throttling. Its metal casing also helps with heat and durability, which cheaper plastic readers often neglect. Because it uses standard USB protocols, it works out-of-the-box across platforms, avoiding driver conflicts that plague generic readers.
