[QUOTE="Paliswe, post: 835936, member: 48977"] Hi, I watched Youtube channel "ShutterSpeak" with Joe Nuzzo, talking about making your own CF express card for half the price, just by mounting two pieces together. So I went on to Amazon and bough one Zitay CF Express Type B Card to NVME M.2 2230 SSD Adapter, compatible with Nikon Z6, and one Sabrent Rocket 2230 NVMe 4.0 512 GB High Performance PCIe 4.0 M.2 2230 SSD. It was some struggle with the deliveries but finally it arrived and I mounted the two pieces with some heat dissipation cream between the SSD and the adapter. In the camera, I formatted the new card (full formatting) and started taking photos! No problem! Really fast card, taking 20 pictures per sec "for ever" was no problem. But when I connected the camera to my Mac Mini M1 (IOS 15.6.1) the camera went into transfer mode but was not detected by my computer. So I bought a SanDisk CFexpress card reader but still no card. Even tried an old PC laptop, to no avail. The SanDisk reader lights up a little white diode when attached, the USB hub did the same, but not a sign from my computer. As a last try I started the formatting tool in my mac, but it could not detect the card. Are there any problems doing a initial (full) formatting of a CF Express card in the camera? I have no other CF Express card previously, just two XQD so I have never tried this combination before. [/QUOTE]
