The SF3 Series Pro Card Reader is housed in a compact, rugged aluminum enclosure for reliable operation. Its design allows for multiple SF3 Series pro card readers to occupy the same footprint, and its threaded mount points enable secure attachment of two readers side-by-side on a rack tray in just 1U of rackspace.

With its dual-port, 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface, you can daisy chain up to six of these readers together to a single port on your computer. This feature allows you to ingest six cards simultaneously at full speed, completing the process in about one sixth the time required using a single-slot reader.
