Lexar has just announced a range of flash storage products and accessories at COMPUTEX 2021.
Professional CFexpress Type B
Many professionals in the industry should be familiar with Lexar and their CFexpress Type B products.

Utilizing the latest and fastest USB protocol, the CFexpress USB 3.2 Gen2x2 reader is capable of transferring large media files very quickly. It is rated with speeds of up to 1.70GB/s, which will reduce the file transfer time between devices significantly. It also is designed to be very compact, allowing users to carry them in bagpacks and storage boxes easily.
