Sonnet eSATA ExpressCard/34

Sonnet's Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 ushers in a new level of higher disk performance capability for the mobile professional. Whether you capture and edit video content in the field, the studio, or home, Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 sets the bar high for mobile storage product performance.

The Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 controller has two external, 3Gb/s, SATA II ports, and plugs directly into a MacBook® Pro (15" or 17") or Windows notebooks with an ExpressCard/54 or ExpressCard/34 slot.

Imagine connecting up to 10 drives(1)(2) for high-performance applications, such as Apple's Final Cut Pro®. With Sonnet's Fusion F2 portable 2-drive SATA storage system attached, and its drives configured as a RAID 0 set, the Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 can support sustained write and read data transfer speeds of 131 and 133 MB/sec, respectively, which is about three times as fast as USB 2.0 or FireWire connections to the same drive setup.

Offering native SATA speed in a compact mobile package, Sonnet's Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 redefines the definition of data transfer speeds for the creative person on-the-go.
