Designed for the fast ingestion of CFexpress Type B and Sony XQD media on Windows 10 and macOS 10.12 systems that support 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4, the Blackjet TX-1CXQ CFexpress Type B / XQD Thunderbolt 3 Card Reader from Atech is equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 interface that delivers data transfer speeds of up to 1700 MB/s for CFexpress media, 500 MB/s for XQD and XQD 2.0 media, and 800 MB/s when using CFexpress Type A media via the included CFexpress Type A to Type B adapter. A rugged metal enclosure helps ensure durability and longevity, while vent holes help increase heat dissipation to keep the unit cool. This card reader receives bus power via its Thunderbolt 3 interface and includes a Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Please note that macOS 10.13 and higher is required to support CFexpress cards. Also, XQD cards are supported under Windows 10, but are not Thunderbolt 3 certified. Lastly, please note that XQD cards require the latest drivers from Sony. Also, using XQD cards on M1 and M2 Macs requires Atech's XQD driver, which may be downloaded from their site.
