Travel and Daisy Chain Ready
When you need a CFexpress Type B card reader that simply works wherever you take it with whatever device you have, the Atlas FXR is the Plug and Play solution.

And its bus-powered single port design makes it perfect for use at the end of a daisy chain when you are back on a desktop editing 8K RAW video!

Details matter when it comes to obtaining the highest performance from your CFexpress card. That’s why the Atlas FXR is built with aircraft-grade heat dissipating aluminum and non-skid rubber feet. This ensures a highly effective and silent cooling airflow around the entire reader so your memory card won’t overheat and throttle your speed.
After intensive stress tests with multiple full capacity cycles, the Atlas FXR reader still delivers consistent sustained 1400MB/s read and 1200MB/s write performance from a 650GB Atlas Ultra CFexpress card while maintaining a safe temperature.
