The Sonnet SF3 Series - CFexpress/XQD Pro Card Reader (SF3-2CFEX) provides two high-speed media slots for professional CFexpress 2.0 Type B and XQD workflows.
Both slots support CFexpress 2.0 Type B and XQD cards, allowing two cards to be accessed simultaneously. On compatible iPad Pro systems, Sonnet specifies CFexpress card support only.
The reader uses a 40Gbps Thunderbolt bus interface with PCIe bandwidth suited to high-performance professional media. Multiple SF3 readers can be daisy chained for larger ingest stations.
The compact aluminium enclosure is designed for desktop, cart and location work. SF3 Series readers can be stacked to minimise footprint, and compatible Sonnet rack hardware can mount two readers side-by-side in 1U.
One Thunderbolt port connects to the host while the second supports daisy chaining of additional Thunderbolt peripherals and compatible SF3 readers.
Sonnet supports compatible Mac and Windows systems, with CFexpress support also available on supported M-series iPad Pro models.
