SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader
Compact Professional SxS PRO X Card Reader for Computers with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 Ports

Supports SxS PRO X Cards at Full Speed
Superior Ingest Performance

Co-developed by Sony®, SxS™ professional memory cards are the onboard recording media used in many past and current Sony and ARRI® pro digital video cameras and camcorders. The latest generation of exceptionally fast memory cards—SxS PRO X—offer a nearly 3x increase in maximum read speeds of the previous generation. If you use SxS media in your workflow, you should use an SxS card reader capable of supporting SxS PRO X and every other SxS memory card at maximum speed. For the fastest ingests, get a Sonnet SxS PRO X Thunderbolt™ Single-Slot Card Reader; it’s the best tool for the job.

Small and Ultra-fast
Ingest at Maximum Read Speeds
The SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader is small, ultra-fast, and easily reads all SxS memory cards at their rated speeds

The Perfect Travel Companion
Bus-Powered Operation
When you need to travel light and don’t have a large stack of cards to ingest, extra power bricks and cables take up extra space and can weigh you down. Sonnet’s SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader is bus-powered, operating off its Thunderbolt connection so there’s no need to plug in a power supply or power cable.

Superior Ingest Performance
Ingests footage from any SxS card at maximum supported speeds; up to 1250 MB/s with SxS PRO X, and up to 440 MB/s for SxS Pro+ media(1).

Bus-powered
Ideal for use with a laptop computer when no power outlet is available.

PCIe 3.0 x4 Thunderbolt 3 Device
This Thunderbolt 3 card reader provides 2 lanes of PCIe 3.0 to the SxS PRO X card slot. A Thunderbolt 4 device would be limited to one lane total. Learn more about Thunderbolt 3 performance benefits over Thunderbolt 4.

Broad Card Support
Supports all SxS media, including SxS PRO X and SxS PRO+ E Series cards. SD™ cards are supported when used with adapter(2).

The Single-slot SxS Card Reader for Digital Imaging Technicians (DITs)
Equipment size and design features matter. Sonnet’s SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader measures just 2.8 inches wide by 4.1 inches deep by 0.8 inches tall (about the size of a deck of playing cards), making it suitable for use in any workspace and workflow. Featuring a rugged aluminum enclosure, the Sonnet reader packs easily into a computer bag or backpack. Its single-port Thunderbolt interface and bus-powered operation make it perfect for use at the end of a daisy chain (such as multiple Sonnet SF3™ Series dual-slot pro card readers).

40Gbps Thunderbolt
Fastest External Interface Available
Featuring a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, this reader ingests footage from all SxS memory cards to any Mac or Windows computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports—on location, in the studio, or in the edit suite—at the fastest speeds(1) the cards will support.

All the Right Connections
40Gbps Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok 3 Included
Sonnet includes a 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 3 cable that supports Thunderbolt's full 40Gbps bandwidth, and is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 computers. Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip(3) that prevents accidental cable disconnections—just slide it over one end of the cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the reader by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use.

Superior Performance
Thunderbolt LogoWith the increasing popularity of professional digital cinema cameras from Canon, ARRI and Blackmagic Design, the use of CFast 2.0 memory cards has soared, and the need for a truly high-speed card reader is undeniable. With current CFast 2.0 cards’ rated read speeds near 550 MB/s, it’s clear that USB readers don’t fill that need. Sonnet’s SF3™ Series - CFast™ 2.0 Pro Card Reader does. Featuring a 40Gbps Thunderbolt™ 3 interface, this device quickly ingests footage from CFast memory cards to any Mac or Windows computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports—on location, in the studio, or in the edit suite—at the fastest speeds the cards will support.

Efficient
As the industry’s first CFast 2.0 card reader for Thunderbolt 3, the SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader employs its dual card slots to take advantage of the tremendous bandwidth offered by Thunderbolt 3. Capable of ingesting files simultaneously from two cards at concurrent data transfer speeds up to 1000+ MB/s—more than double the average ingest speed of USB 3.0 card readers—using the Sonnet reader makes for a significantly more convenient and efficient workflow.

Bus Powered by Thunderolt 3 Port
No Power Adapters Required

The SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader connects directly to your Mac or Windows computer’s Thunderbolt 3 port or at the end of a Thunderbolt 3 device chain. Requiring only a single cable to connect to your computer, this high-performance Sonnet reader is bus powered (no separate power supply required).

Compact and Rugged
Measuring a compact 5.75 inches wide by 1 inch high by 3.5 inches deep, the SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader is suitable for use in any workspace, even where space is tight. The reader’s shell is made from extruded aluminum, making it lightweight, and yet rugged enough to be transported in an equipment bag without fear of damaging the case.

Replaceable Captive Cable
Through the use of a captive cable, the SF3 Series - CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader’s Thunderbolt cable remains firmly connected to it at all times. Should the cable ever break, it can easily be replaced by Sonnet or a Sonnet-authorized service center.
