OWCAtlas FXR Thunderbolt (USB-C) + USB 3.2 (10Gb/s) CFexpress Card Reader

Fast but gets really hot

This is a solid and fast card reader with the only drawback of it overheating - unless you add a heatsink to it.When I originally received the reader, I noticed that this card reader got HOT! Literally, too hot for my comfort. Without the heat sink, it was much too hot to touch comfortably. I would have to estimate it went over 130F. I know that can't be good for the cards.I really liked the speed though so I decided to add an NVME heat sink to it. That did the trick. The heatsink allows this card reader to operated in temps under what I estimate to be 115F. I know the heatsink isn't "pretty", but it's quite effective. Especially when transferring data from 100GB, or even up to 2TB as I often do when unloading huge images/4K Raw video from my Fuji GFX100ii.I like that the card reader is SOLID. It's not flemsy plastic. Point of fact, it did very well for me when I took it to Africa with me last month. I didn't worry about "babying" it everywhere I traveled. I was transferring a couple of TB every day off my CFexpress cards to backup. It's built like a tank. It heats up like one too but that's remedied with the addition of a $20 NVMe heat sink. I absolutely recommend this reader with the only caveat being you need to heatsink this beast. If not for the heat issue, I'd easily give this 5 stars.
