Portable USB-C CFexpress Type B Card Reader with 10Gbps Transfer Speeds for Fast Image and Video Offload from Professional Cameras The StarTech 1B-USB-C-CFE-ADAPTER is a CFexpress card reader that connects CFexpress 2.0 Type B and XQD memory cards to any USB-C-enabled device at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10Gbps (1.25 GB/s). The bus-powered aluminum housing weighs just 1.80 ounces with an attached 7.8-inch USB Type-C cable, making it a pocket-sized companion for photographers and videographers who need to offload high-resolution RAW files and 4K/8K video in the field. Unlike multi-slot readers that add bulk and cost, this single-slot CFexpress Type B card reader is purpose-built for speed and simplicity. It requires no drivers or software installation, working immediately on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux across Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and Apple Silicon platforms. Backward compatibility with USB 3.0 (5Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480Mbps) ensures it works with any USB-C host regardless of generation. Where the StarTech CFexpress Card Reader Fits On-location photo and video professionals transferring CFexpress Type B cards where the 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection delivers 1.25 GB/s throughput for rapid offload of high-resolution RAW stills and 4K/8K video footage between shoots, cutting transfer time significantly compared to USB 5Gbps readers Travel photographers needing a lightweight, cable-free card reader where the 1.80-ounce aluminum body with attached 7.8-inch USB-C cable eliminates loose accessories, fits in any gear bag pocket, and bus-powered operation means no external power source required in remote locations Multi-platform workflows spanning MacBook, Chromebook, and Windows laptops where driverless plug-and-play compatibility across all major operating systems and processor architectures means the reader works instantly on any USB-C device without software installation or configuration What the StarTech CFexpress Card Reader Delivers USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps: Transfers data at up to 1.25 GB/s through the USB-C connection, moving a 128GB CFexpress card in approximately two minutes. Backward compatible with USB 3.0 (5Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480Mbps) for universal connectivity. CFexpress Type B and XQD Support: Single-slot design accepts both CFexpress 2.0 Type B cards used in professional cameras from Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic, plus legacy XQD cards for older Nikon bodies. Bus-Powered Aluminum Build: The 1.80-ounce aluminum housing draws power directly from the USB-C port with no external adapter needed. A power/activity LED provides real-time transfer status feedback. Driverless Universal Compatibility: Works out of the box on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux with no drivers or software required. Supports Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and Apple Silicon platforms. Attached 7.8-Inch USB-C Cable: Integrated cable design eliminates loose accessories and prevents mismatched or forgotten cables in the field. Compact enough to slip into a shirt pocket. Does a CFexpress Card Need a Special Reader? Yes. CFexpress Type B cards use a different physical connector and interface protocol than standard SD or CompactFlash cards, so they require a dedicated CFexpress Type B reader. The StarTech 1B-USB-C-CFE-ADAPTER provides exactly this: a single-purpose reader built specifically for CFexpress 2.0 Type B cards (and backward-compatible XQD cards) that delivers the full 10Gbps bandwidth these high-performance cards are designed to utilize. Using a purpose-built reader rather than a multi-format adapter ensures maximum transfer speed and reliable card detection across all supported camera brands.
