Whether you’re capturing 4K at 60P RAW video footage or shooting hundreds of photos in a session and saving to CFexpress memory cards, the generated files are huge, and the cards fill up fast. Moving those files to your computer for editing is a must, but if you use the wrong tool, you’ll spend a lot of time waiting around. Get a Sonnet SF3™ Series - CFexpress Pro Card Reader; it’s the ultimate tool for finishing the job fast.
Sonnet’s CFexpress media card reader is ultra-fast, able to ingest files from CFexpress cards at their maximum speeds. Better still, it can ingest files simultaneously from two CFexpress cards — at more than double the average ingest speed of other CFexpress or XQD card readers — to cut your ingest times in half.
Sonnet’s SF3 Series Professional Card Readers include threaded mount points that enable you to securely attach two readers side-by-side on a rack tray in just 1U of rack space.
