Ultra-Compact CFexpress Type B Reader

The OWC Atlas FXR is an ultra-compact CFexpress Type B card reader built for content creators, professional photographers, videographers and filmmakers who need fast offload speeds on location or in the studio. It connects via Thunderbolt or USB to virtually any equipped computer or tablet. Buyers who need a reader for CFexpress Type A or SD cards cannot use this device.

Bus-Powered Operation With 12-Inch Cable

The reader draws power directly from the host port through a tethered 12-inch Thunderbolt cable and included USB-C to USB-A adapter, so no external supply is required. Its small form factor adds minimal bulk to a mobile kit. Users who prefer a longer detachable cable or a desktop dock form factor will find this design limiting.

Sustained 1600MB/s Transfer Performance

The Atlas FXR sustains transfer rates up to 1600MB/s, allowing 100 photos averaging 25MB each to move in roughly 1.6 seconds. It maintains this throughput across large video ingest sessions without thermal throttling. Workflows that demand speeds beyond this ceiling or support for multi-card simultaneous ingest are not addressed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CFexpress Type B card reader, and what step is often missed?

Connect the tethered 12" Thunderbolt cable to your computer, then insert the CFexpress Type B card into the slot. The step often missed is ensuring the USB-C to USB-A adapter is firmly attached if your port requires it.

What maintenance or replacement will the card reader need later?

The unit has no user-serviceable parts. Keep the Thunderbolt cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter free of debris. If the cable or adapter becomes damaged, replace the entire reader.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers?

The reader delivers up to 1600MB/s over Thunderbolt. Sustained speed is limited by the CFexpress Type B card's own write performance and the host computer's Thunderbolt or USB 3.2 10Gb/s controller.
