Avacab Authorized Reseller

Sonnet's SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader is a dual professional CFast 2.0 card reader with Thunderbolt 3 port (compatible with Thunderbolt 3). With the growing popularity of professional digital cinema cameras from Canon, ARRI and Blackmagic Design, the use of CFast 2.0 memory cards has skyrocketed, and the need for a high-speed card reader is undeniable. With the nominal reading speeds of today's CFast 2.0 cards approaching 550MB/s, it is clear that USB readers do not meet that transfer speeds Sonnet's SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro does. With a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, this device quickly ingests images and videos from CFast memory cards to any Mac or Windows computer with Thunderbolt ports in the studio or editing room, at the fastest speeds supported by the card.

As the industry's first CFast 2.0 card reader for Thunderbolt, the SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro card reader uses its dual card slots to take advantage of the enormous bandwidth offered by Thunderbolt ports (40Gbps). Capable of ingesting files simultaneously from two cards at concurrent data transfer speeds of up to 1000 MB/s, it is more than twice the average ingest speed of USB 3.0 card readers. The use of the Sonnet reader makes the workflow significantly faster and more efficient.

The SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader connects directly to the Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac or Windows or at the end of a Thunderbolt 3 device chain. It requires only one cable to connect to your computer and requires no extra power, as it is powered directly by the Thunderbolt connection.
