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.

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 2.0 adapters, when used in combination with storage systems featuring two or more drives. Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 offers great storage expandability—its support for high-performance multi-drive storage systems with port multipliers or hardware RAID controllers enable it to handle up to ten hard drives ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ at the same time! Port multipliers and hardware RAID controllers manage the data flow of up to five drives in one enclosure, transferring files between your computer and drives through a single locking cable. Connect two storage systems, using today's highest-capacity drives, and you can access an astounding 20 Terabytes of storage!

Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 controller plugs directly into a MacBook Pro with an ExpressCard/34 slot or Windows notebook with an ExpressCard slot, and is an essential tool for the professional creative person on the go.
