OWC Atlas FXR: Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C Card Reader for CFExpress Type B

re: CFExpress Type B

MPG will test the OWC Atlas FXR soon with various CFExpress Type B camera cards.

The use of USB-C limits download speed to 1GB/sec (pretty darn fast!), but with Thunderbolt 3, CFExpress cards should be usable at their full rated speed of up to 1.7GB/sec. This might not matter for most users, but for video shooters, it may play into a more efficient turnaround for download/backup.

UPDATE 2023-06-03: incredibly fast OWC Atlas FXR.
