Transcend CFexpress Type B Card Reader RDE2
Transcend CFexpress Type B Card Reader RDE2 delivers professional-grade transfer speeds and broad connectivity in a compact, durable package. Engineered for CFexpress Type B media, the RDE2 uses the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface to support up to 20 Gbps transfer rates when connected to a compatible USB Type-C host—drastically reducing offload times for high-resolution photo and video workflows.
Included USB Type-C and Type-A cables provide flexible compatibility with laptops, desktops, and select mobile devices, while the lightweight aluminum body and non-slip silicone cover protect the reader during travel. With plug-and-play operation, certified reliability, and a two-year limited warranty, the RDE2 is optimized for photographers, cinematographers, and content professionals who need fast, dependable media access on the go.
Important notes: The RDE2 does not support XQD cards. Achieving 20 Gbps requires a USB Type-C connection and a host that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
