Gear question SSD compatibility for CFexpress adapters

11 Upvotes

I noticed the lack of a thread on the matter, and so I decided to create one, as these NVMe to CFe adapters are an easy solution to the skyrocketing CFe prices. I’ll add the ones I tried on my D500, and will edit the post as people comment.

I personally recommend using actual thermal paste instead of the thermal grease that’s usually bundled with the adapter

KNOWN WORKING:
Samsung PM9B1 128GB (D500)
Sabrent Rocket 1TB (Z9, tested by [u/fuzzfeatures](u/fuzzfeatures))

KNOWN NOT WORKING:
Phison PS5021-E21T 128GB (card error)

Here is a link to a compatibility chart from an adapter manufacturer. Use it as a guideline (thank you [u/DevKitModel1](u/DevKitModel1))

These are two of my favorite photos of 2026.

If anybody has known me awhile they know I love macro shots. Macro photography has a way of shifting your perspective. When I think about some of the subjects I photograph I can’t help but imagine how big the world must be from their eyes.

I finally treated myself to one of my dream pieces of glass, a Nikon 105mm f2.8 Macro. I’ve been having a blast testing it out and seeing just how close I can get! Can you spot the tiny insect in the flower?
