Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 Reviews Sonnet Tempo SATA Express 34 ExpressCard eSATA Adapter  "Some Mac users will, not unreasonably, claim they don't need eSATA because Firewire 800 does the trick. That may be true for now, but as Apple showed with its first MacBook Pros, Firewire 800 isn't a given. It's not widely supported beyond the Mac niche, whereas we're seeing eSATA on more and more high-speed external drives and on PCs. eSATA is going to become cheaper - Firewire 800 isn't.…Want to take advantage of eSATA and RAID on your MacBook Pro? Sonnet's Tempo SATA Express 34 is an easy way to make it happen." reghardware.co.ukTempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 Reviews High Performance Marvell Based ExpressCard  "The innovative Marvell 88SX7042 PCIe to Serial ATA controller chip design found in the Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 provides the highest eSATA ExpressCard/34 performance that AMUG has recorded. Users that desire the ultimate performing eSATA ExpressCard/34 for their MacBook Pro will purchase this card as the performance is substantially higher than any other currently shipping 3rd party eSATA ExpressCard solution." amug.comSonnet SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 for MacBook Pro  "The new kid on the block (Dec 2008) is the Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34. It uses a Marvell chipset, the same one used in the Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P for the Mac Pro; this chipset offers significantly higher performance. Both cards are excellent performers." "The Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34… is the speed champ as of December 2008: speeds are substantially higher than with my former favorite…" diglloyd.com |

"I really like the 2fit. It provides some much needed protection to your MacBook Pro while it sits inside the backpack notebook case that I bought for it. I’ve come to rely on it so much, in fact, that I don’t take my MBP anywhere without it. If you have a MacBook or a MacBook Pro, then this is probably the best $30 bucks you’re every going to spend on an accessory."
"Sonnet is an experienced player in storage technologies, and they have not missed a trick with this remarkable little unit. The drives are mounted side by side not just to create a more portable unit for your computer bag but for an important design reason. Drives mounted on top of each other can create a “cross-coupled vibration” which could drop frames. Increasing the footprint also allows for fanless and thus quiet operation of the unit. The use of FireWire power is ingenious. Of course, keep in mind that the F2 could also work on a desktop Mac with a compatible eSATA card.
"The MacCuff Pro offers several benefits. It keeps your Mac Pro or Power Mac G5 elevated and away from scampering dust bunnies. It also makes it easy to vacuum under and around the pro desktop. What’s more, the MacCuff Pro helps deal with cable sprawl. [It also] secures a Mac Pro or Power Mac G5 to your desk or table…There’s something satisfying in that." 
"The two killer features of the unit are speed and the fact that two CF cards can be inserted into the adapter at the same time. Transfer of files is quick, kills USB for speed, and if you tend to go through loads of CF cards for photographic or video work, insert one or two cards, and then offload the data." 
"For transferring photos from a CF card to your MacBook Pro, the Sonnet Pro Dual CompactFlash (CF) Adapter ExpressCard/34 is certainly fast and offers the option of mounting two CF cards at the same time. As stated earlier, it uses the 2.5Gbps PCIe interface standard so it doesn't run out of bandwidth when you use the fastest 300X CF cards (or the future 886X CF cards). It supports UDMA6 transfer modes up to 133MB/s."
