Get one whose type (A or B) matches the card type your Nikon Z uses. (I think that "Nikon Z" may be the name of an entire series of cameras, not the full name of any particular one.)

Many card readers have USB 3.* interfaces that run at up to 10 Gbps. A few have USB4 interfaces that run at up to 40 Gbps. (Actual speed depends not just on the connection, but on the memory card. Unless you are in the habit of importing huge batches of photos at once, there may not be much practical advantage to 40 Gbps speed.)

Your tag line suggests that you have an Apple Silicon Mac that could work with either type of interface. (All Apple-Silicon-based Macs with the exception of the MacBook Neo support USB4 40 Gbps. No Intel-based Macs do.)

You can connect your Nikon Z directly to your Mac via USB.

Or you could purchase a card reader that supports CF Express cards. Be sure to verify the kind of CF Express card you have ... Type A or Type B ... before purchasing a card reader. (I believe the Nikon Z uses Type B cards.)

You’ll need to find a different way to connect the camera by cable or purchase a card reader that you can plug into your Mac
