Key to Fast External Storage
Sonnet's Tempo™ SATA ExpressCard/34 provides eSATA connectivity for the mobile Mac® or Windows® user who needs access to fast external data storage. When speed matters most, eSATA is the interface of choice—it delivers the best performance from storage systems with multiple interfaces (FireWire, USB, eSATA(2)). This Sonnet host controller has two external, 3Gb/s, SATA II ports, and offers scalability through its support for port multipliers. Imagine connecting up to 20 drives(1) to your notebook—Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 makes it possible.
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 can sustain read and write speeds to a single SATA drive of up to 133 Mb/sec, about four times as fast as USB 2.0. With two Fusion D500P 5-drive desktop storage systems connected, you can access up to 10TB of files.
The Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 controller plugs directly into a MacBook® Pro (with ExpressCard/34 slot) or Windows notebook with an ExpressCard slot, and delivers enhanced data transfer speeds for the creative person on the go. Whether you capture and edit video content in the field, the studio, or home, or simply need access to terabytes of files, Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 sets the bar high for mobile storage product performance. |
