The newly unveiled OWC Atlas CFexpress 4.0 Type B Card Reader is set to revolutionize data transfer times for photographers and various professionals. Operating at the upper limits of Thunderbolt's transfer capabilities, this device significantly slashes the time it takes to move large files. When used in conjunction with an OWC Atlas Ultra memory card, it achieves astonishing real-world transfer speeds exceeding 3300MB/s.
Not just high-performing, the OWC Atlas CFexpress Card Reader is also designed for portability.

To ensure stability during use, the card reader is equipped with non-skid rubber feet. Additionally, it comes with an OWC ClingOn, a stabilizing accessory, to secure the USB-C cable connection. The ClingOn uses adhesive to attach to both the cable and the device port, providing a secure and stable linkage, thus enhancing the overall reliability of the data transfer process.
The card reader operates without a fan, featuring a design optimized for thermal efficiency to ensure silent performance. Additionally, its operational status is easily monitored through an integrated LED indicator.
