Our editorial take on the OWC Atlas FXR Thunderbolt CFexpress Type B Card Reader
The OWC Atlas FXR offers a portable solution for offloading CFexpress Type B media. Its Thunderbolt 3 interface facilitates transfers up to 1600 MB/s, making it suitable for professionals working with large video files or high-resolution images. The device is bus-powered, which enhances its portability for fieldwork.
While Thunderbolt 3 provides the fastest performance, its backward compatibility with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s) at up to 900 MB/s means it can still offer good speeds on a wider range of devices. An included USB-A adapter further broadens connectivity options. Weighing under 3 ounces and measuring 3.5 by 2 by 0.5 inches, its compact design may appeal to creators who prioritize a small footprint.
Consider this model if your workflow demands high-speed CFexpress Type B transfers and you utilize compatible Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C ports on your host devices. Its broad operating system compatibility, including macOS, Windows, Chrome OS, iPadOS, and Android, makes it versatile for a variety of users.
