More expensive but this is a combined SD Card and CFE Type B reader.

Beside my older Sony MRW-G1 CFexpress Type B/XQD Reader, I use a Lexar RW520 combined SD card and CFE Type B reader.
Apart from the very short cable that comes with the Lexar, I am completely satisfied with it.

I don't believe that the Z8 supports a card reader. Are you trying to copy files?

Having tried inexpensive readers (the frugal man often pays twice) that failed in due time, I now use only brand-name readers.

For example, Lexar's https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C7JJLWS9

I use the OWC Atlas CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card Reader, which works great-

For SD, I use the reader built into my Mac Studio.

I've tried a bunch, and settled on the Lexar CFE-B/SD combo reader.

It runs cooler than some others, has a nice padded bottom, and is compact.

For about a year now, I�ve been using the Lexar that Vento, Kaplah and Scott mention here

It has significantly more mass than the popular brand that others have been using for so long. And it also has 4 rubber feet so it does not slide at all. I like it a lot.

And I was stupid enough to pay $100 for Sony Reader ( few years back)

Sandisk Pro readers (SD + CFe, CF) have been working fine for me for almost 3 years.
