I have a lexar 3.0 dual card reader that won't work on my I Mac but will work on my Macbook pro. I try to upload new lexar software but I mac won't let me open since lexar isn't a trusted site. any ides?

A suggestion: put the media card into the reader first, then plug the reader into the computer appears to have helped some people. In the past with other readers, and cards, With other brands, the same works for me.

I was given a lexar sdhc 16gb. Why would I want this? I use a MacBook Pro, early 2011, as well as an iPhone 3 or 4 g. I do also have a digital camera but not sure make, model and it isn't with me right now.

A few ideas, there; be sure to check the usefulness before getting shed of it since those cards may work in several brands, and depending on format, are not backward compatible very far. They can be used as a flash drive if you have or get the USB adapter for use as a card reader; then just use it for storage. It would appear on the desktop same as a hard disk drive, but with Fat-32 formatting (or other, above fat-16.)

If you choose to try and reformat the card to some other type, it would not be read by a camera unless the camera can reformat the SD card. I've tried a few things with these and have the card reader, so I know it can work like a USB flash easily enough. But my old Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1 with long zoom liked early SD

Camera cards may be helpful to have on hand and if the reader in your computer (?) sees it, that'd be a plus. Not sure if you could use it as a backup source for offline re-install of Mavericks or another OS X. Being small, it could be great for other content, if not lost or damaged.

Lexar is among the top names in the industry, known for fast and reliable storage media and card readers for digital cameras and other devices. I've known about the Lexar Professional Workflow products for quite a while, but never quite bought into it. Last week I made the plunge into what will fast become an integral and important part of my workflow (no pun intended).

I've been using the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader (and prior to that, the USB 2.0 version) for as far back as I can remember. Both have been reliable and portable, perfect for use while traveling or on location, as well as for desktop use. However shuffling around card readers has become a chore over the years, and I wanted something that would stay on my desk for my file ingress needs.

I had known about the Lexar Professional Workflow line of products for quite a while, and while I loved the idea, I was never really ready to make the investment. Anything modular really catches my eye because of the flexibility and expansion possibilities.

In this article I'll be covering the (cheaper, but no less capable) Workflow HR1, which features a USB 3.0 interface. Lexar does make a (much more expensive) Workflow HR2, which features USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 2 interfaces. The spec for throughput on USB 3.0 vs Thunderbolt is 5Gbps vs 20Gbps, so if you are importing lots of files or video at once and would make use of the extra throughput, that's a decision you'll have to make for yourself. For me, USB 3.0 has been fast enough for my needs, and I did not feel that the much more expensive ($85 vs $255 MSRP) Thunderbolt version was worth the extra speed.

As I mentioned, the modularity of the Professional Workflow series of products is what caught my eye. Working with different devices that use all kinds of different media, having a mess of different card readers and adapters on or around your workspace makes for a lot of clutter. The Workflow HR1 consolidates all of your card readers into a single, attractive media "tower" where you can access and import all of your media. Different modules are available so you can customize the Workflow HR1 to your needs, and stow away any modules you may not need at the time.

This combination will allow me to read and import media from any device I currently own, and significantly speed up my workflow, as you can import from multiple media types at once in a concurrent transfer (and even multiple cards of the same type, with the appropriate configuration). This eliminates a lot of clutter from my workspace, as well as help speed up the ingress of media.

The HR1 is essentially a USB hub that will accept the compatible modules. It simply plugs into your computer via a standard USB 3.0 cable (or additionally, Thunderbolt, in the case of the HR2), and off you go. It should be noted, though, that in the case of using multiple modules, you will need external power for the HR1 hub (supplied, via an AC adapter).

Once you plug in the HR1, you simply plug each of your modules into the hub, and from there, it works like any other card reader. One important thing to note is that Lightroom does not currently support concurrent transfers, so you will not be able to unload multiple cards at the same time into Lightroom (for example, an SD and a CF card) -- but concurrent transfer will work if you are just pulling files off of the cards directly to a folder, or in Capture One Pro 9 or Photo Mechanic, which makes pulling large amounts of data off multiple cards into a library VERY quick. For large-scale culling and selection, Photo Mechanic can't be beat.

Yes, it is quite annoying that the Lexar reader only works on Lexar cards. I too learned that the hard way. However I found it much easier to use a third party CF card reader that plugs directly into the front USB slots - the kind without a cable - as there was less clutter.

By "not compatible", what do you mean? Here is a problem I am having: I also have a Lexar firewire card reader (RW019 rev A) and a SanDisk Ultra II 512 compact flash card. When using the reader to transfer images, some of the images are corrupted during the transfer (even after a fresh format of the card). If these two truly are not compatable, which route did you choose to fix the problem: new memory or new reader?

Are you encountering the problem while using a card in the card reader during file transfers or simply when the reader is connected without any activity? Since the reader is working perfectly fine on another computer it shouldn't be the cause of the problem.

I have Lexar Professional Workflow CR2 card reader and a 256 GB Lexar Professional 3600x, but it seems like my card has an issue, when I insert the memory card inside card reader and plug the card reader's usb to computer, nothing happens except the blue light from card reader. I can see the card reader as a device in my computer but I can't see or explore my files as a drive. But, interestingly when I list the drives on my windows PC on command prompt; I can see an extra drive. But when I try to enter it via command prompt (by writing it's letter only like E:) I get "Device is not ready" as an answer.

Despite being a fan of the functionality and stability of Windows 7, I chose to install Windows 10 on this new computer. I stuck with my previous computer for seven years, and I intend to use the new computer for 5-7 years as well. Not wanting to update the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (or whatever exists) a few years from now, I went with the most-current version of Windows.

About 2-3 weeks into my use of the new computer, I was watching a YouTube video and noticed those stupid notification sounds kept playing every few minutes. I did a Google search of the symptoms and one forum post mentioned going through the Windows sounds list to determine which event corresponded with the sound. It turned out to be the Device Connect and Device Disconnect sounds that I kept hearing.

One member of a forum suggested downloading a tool called USBDeview. It shows what is connected to your USB ports as well as what has been connected in the past. It also shows when a device was connected or plugged/unplugged.

My SD/CF card reader of choice has been the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot reader. Specifically, the older version (LRW300U) that does not support UHS II. I have been using these card readers for several years and they have performed well.

I did some troubleshooting. First I tried using different USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard and case. The disconnect/reconnects kept happening. I then tried a different USB cable. The connection problems still occurred, but they were less frequent. I suspected an issue with the card reader.

In summary, if your Windows 10 computer keeps making random notification sounds, see if you can trace them to programs or devices being used. Consider getting a USB port monitoring program to see if any devices are connecting or disconnecting. Try different USB ports, different cables, and make sure drivers are up-to-date. Be methodical about isolating the problem and trying solutions.

Lexar makes a range of flash memory cards and drives and now it has announced the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Reader. This card reader has been specially designed for photographers who demand the fastest transfer speeds, even when on the go.

The new card reader can offload large batches of high-quality images and RAW 8K video from CFexpress Type B cards to a computer at USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds, boosting workflows from location to post-production.

This professional-level reader includes both a 2-in-1 USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable and USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable for port-to-port connection with laptops and desktop computers. It's compact enough to slip into a pocket and, thanks to plug-and-play functionality, it can offload content at high speed, even on location.
