I would like to buy a card reader to read CFexpress, XQD, and SD. Reading the reviews on Amazon leads me to think many products are not reliable.
Has anyone found one that works?

One that is "more dependable" in my experience has been the Blackjet readers. Not sure if they have one that reads all 3 cards:

Prograde Digital as well.

I’ve never tried one that reads all 3. My only XQD card went with my D500 when I sold it. I think a good, dependable multi-card reader might be more expensive than separate readers.

Chances are you already know this, but make sure you are specifying CF express B. "A" is a different animal.

When I bought my D850 in 2018, I bought Sony XQD cards and a Sony XQD/SD card reader. Model number is MRW-E90. Both the cards and the reader are still going strong. There were some claims that Sony cards would not read in a non-Sony reader. I cannot speak to that, and I haven't heard it mentioned recently.

After Nikon updated the firmware to enable the D500 and D850 to utilize CFExpress Type B cards, I bought a Delkin reader and gradually bought some Delkin cards. Mine is a Delkin DDREADER-54. These cards and readers also have been serving without incident for several years.

Each of these readers also has a slot for SD cards. I do not know if they are still current models.

As noted in this discussion, a few folks seem to have found combination XQD/CFE-B readers that they say work for them. I have never had sufficient faith to use a device from a manufacturer or seller whose name I don't recognize as part of a critical link in a data management chain. Your risk tolerance may be higher than mine.

Good luck as you search.

I have a Delkin reader I've used the past couple of years for CFExpress and SD cards. It has performed flawlessly. Plugs into USB-C port and transfers quickly.
