Pro Dual CompactFlash (CF) Adapter ExpressCard/34 enables digital photographers
to transfer files concurrently from two CF memory cards to a MacBook Pro
computer on-location or in the field, studio, or office. The ability to
transfer data from two cards concurrently, rather than swapping them out of the
adapter, makes for a significantly more convenient and efficient workflow. The
Sonnet adapter uses the 2.5 Gbps PCI Express interface incorporated into
ExpressCard slots, so it delivers performance superior to adapters that depend
on the ExpressCard slot's USB 2.0 interface.
"The
Pro Dual CompactFlash Adapter ExpressCard/34 saves precious time for
professional photographers, allowing them to transfer content quickly,"
said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. "Media professionals
today are expected to produce results quickly, whether working remotely or in
the studio. This newest adapter also allows the photographer to swap a pair of
cards and get back to shooting while the cards' photos are being
imported."
Sonnet's dual-slot CF memory card adapter accepts two Type I (flash memory) cards
or a combination of one Type I and one Type II (hard drive) card. The
high-performance Sonnet dual CF card adapter supports UDMA6 transfer modes with
sustained data transfers up to 133 MB/sec. The Sonnet adapter supports at full
speed the fastest available CF memory cards and future CF cards up to 886x. Its compact size allows it to
fit into a gear bag.
The Pro
Dual CompactFlash Adapter ExpressCard/34 is compatible with MacBook Pro systems
running Mac OS Version 10.5 or higher. The adapter will be shipping in October
2008 at a suggested retail price of $99.95.
