Details
The Sonnet SF3 Series CFexpress/XQD Thunderbolt Pro Card Reader allows you to transfer content quickly and efficiently from your CFexpress Type B and XQD media to Windows 10 (64-bit) or macOS 10.12.6 and later systems. This card reader is compatible with Thunderbolt 3, but Mac users can also use it with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt connectivity by using a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and a Thunderbolt cable.
Dual Card Slots, Less Waiting
The SF3 Series CFexpress/XQD Pro Card Reader is fast and able to ingest files from CFexpress and XQD cards at their maximum speeds. Better still, it can ingest files simultaneously from two CFexpress cards to cut your ingest times in half. When working with one CFexpress card, speeds reach 2750 MB/s. Dual CFexpress cards reach speeds up to 2600 MB/s, and dual XQD cards max out around 800 MB/s.
