Sonnet Technologies Tempo SATA Pro Express Card/34
Pure Performance to Go
When file transfer speeds in the field can make or break a project, call in the pro—Tempo™ SATA Pro ExpressCard/34. This Sonnet exclusive two-port eSATA adapter delivers the highest available throughput performance from a SATA host controller for notebook computers—40% faster than standard SATA controller cards—and is ideal tool for video capture and editing in the field, studio, or office. Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34's exceptional sustained data throughput capability of up to 200 MB/sec empowers it to support more simultaneous video streams during playback, and enables faster file transfers for content of any kind.
Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 is FIS-based port multiplier-aware—used in high-performance storage systems like Sonnet's Fusion D500P, a port multiplier manages the data flow of up to five drives in an enclosure through a single cable—enabling you to connect up to ten SATA hard drives(1)(2) to your computer. Based on Sonnet's acclaimed Tempo SATA E4P SATA host controller for desktop computers, Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 delivers significant gains in read and write data transfer speeds over earlier-generation eSATA ExpressCard adapters, with remarkably higher throughput than FireWire® and USB adapters, when used in combination with storage systems featuring two or more drives.
Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 controller plugs directly into a MacBook® Pro (15" or 17") or Windows notebook with an ExpressCard/54 or ExpressCard/34 slot, and is an essential tool for the professional creative person on the go.
