Built with a modular design that stacks seamlessly with their other card reader models, the CFast 2.0 Memory Card Reader from Angelbird is made for the fast ingestion of CFast 2.0 media. It connects to your host Windows, Mac, or Linux system using a USB Type-C port, which operates using the 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard. If your system doesn’t support USB 3.1 Gen 2, there is backward compatibility with other USB standards. Additionally, since the USB Type-C port shares the same interface as Thunderbolt 3, this card reader be directly connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports. To further aid in system connectivity, both a 19.7″ USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter are included.
Angelbird’s CFast 2.0 Card Reader is bus powered, meaning it receives power directly from your system’s host USB or Thunderbolt port, with no additional cables or power supplies required. Thanks to a durable aluminum housing, their Solid Stack design helps protect your data against energy surges, as well as environmental conditions such as x-rays, freezing temperatures, and the hot sun. Angelbird also built the USB Type-C port with Solid Connect recessed connectivity, which helps to ensure stable, uninterrupted data transfers, as well as protect against cable wear and tear. Lastly, a built-in write protect switch helps protect the content on your CFast 2.0 media from being accidentally erased.
Note: to receive the full limited 3-year warranty, this product needs to be registered on the Angelbird Personal Service Portal within 30 days after purchase. If not registered within this period, the market-specific legal guarantee period comes into force.

Single CFast Memory Card Reader Meets Modular Design
Angelbird’s framework was simple – create a CFast 2.0 memory card reader that could adapt to their workflow and malfunction because it was part of a failed multi-card unit. Inspired by the functionality of mid-century modular design, like those stacking shelves you had in college, Angelbird developed a professional grade, singular CFast card reader that stacks seamlessly with their other card reader models, while still maintaining the freedom to move around as you please.
Improved Protection, Minimalist Design
It is said that the inherent benefit of minimalism is mental clarity and peace of mind. With clean lines and a sleek aluminum housing, Angelbird’s Solid Stack CFast single card reader helps protect your data against energy surges and extreme environmental conditions such as, x-rays, freezing temperatures, or the blazing hot sun. It looks great, is very durable, and offers the mental clarity of knowing that your creative work is protected.
C(Very)Fast Card Reader
By supporting unrestricted offloading speeds, Angelbird’s CFast single card reader will get you moving on your post-production workflow without the painful wait. But its true advantage, however, may just lay with the versatility of its Solid Connect recessed connectivity port, which helps ensure stable, uninterrupted data transfers, while protecting against cable wear and tear. It is even physically and electrically compatible with Thunderbolt 3, along with past and present connection standards and interfaces like 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2, USB Type-C to Type-C, and USB Type-C to Type-A.
