FAQs
Does this reader support CFexpress Type A cards?
No, this reader is specifically designed for CFexpress Type B cards.
Do I need to install any drivers?
No, the device is plug-and-play and does not require external drivers for standard operations.
Is the cable included?
Yes, the reader comes with a 0.3-meter cable.
Can I use this with a USB 3.0 port?
Yes, it is backward compatible, but you will not achieve the maximum 40 Gb/s speeds on older USB standards.
Why is the aluminum casing getting warm?
The casing is designed to act as a heatsink to dissipate heat from the card, which helps prevent thermal throttling during long transfers.
How long is the warranty?
The Wise Advanced RD-40CXB comes with a 2-year warranty period.
Troubleshooting
Device is not recognized by the computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the reader and the host port; try a different USB port on your computer.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify that you are using a USB4 or Thunderbolt-compatible port on your computer and that the cable provided is fully seated.
Memory card gets very hot during use
This is normal given the aluminum housing's design as a heatsink; however, ensure the reader is placed on a flat, solid surface to assist with heat dissipation.

Compatibility: This device is exclusively compatible with CFexpress Type B memory cards. Ensure your host computer features a high-speed USB port to take full advantage of the 40 Gb/s transfer potential.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the card slot free of debris and dust to prevent data corruption or physical damage to card pins.
- Store the reader in a protective case when traveling to prevent impact damage.
- While the aluminum housing is designed to get warm, avoid obstructing the device during use to maintain effective heat dissipation.
