Used Sonnet Qio E3 High-Speed SxS Card Reader Only

The Sonnet Qio E3 High-Speed SXS Card Reader is designed specifically for use with SXS media cards. Providing a cost-effective, high-speed multi-slot alternative to stand-alone card readers for videographers and studios alike, Qio E3's three SXS slots enable you to ingest files faster and more efficiently, with aggregate ingest speed up to 300 MB/sec., much faster than standard USB adapters are capable.

Choice of Interface
Qio E3 is available with your choice of a PCIe interface card for desktops, an ExpressCard/34 interface for notebooks, or a Thunderbolt interface adapter (with included Thunderbolt cable) for any Mac with a Thunderbolt port. With the purchase of an additional Qio E3 PCIe adapter card, ExpressCard/34 card, or Thunderbolt adapter, you can move your Qio E3 from suite to suite and then to location and back again without breaking a sweat. No matter where you use it, Qio E3 will quickly become an essential tool in your workflow.

Flexible Power Options

AC Power
For desktop use, a universal 12V output AC power supply (with wall plugs for US, Japan, Europe, UK and Australia) is included.

Battery Power
For battery-powered operation during field work, Sonnet's optional XLR 4-pin adapter cable interfaces Qio E3 with an external battery pack, such as Tekkeon myPower ALL batteries at an 8-19V setting.

FireWire Bus Power
Alternatively, you can power the Qio E3 by connecting it to a computer with a FireWire port with Sonnet's optional FireWire 400-to-3.5mm power cable.

6Gb/s SATA PCIe 2.0 Host Controller Inside
Qio E3 includes two 6 Gb/s eSATA ports, perfect for connecting media readers with an eSATA interface, such as the RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" and 2.5".

Mac and Windows Compatible
Sonnet's Qio E3 offers Mac and PC cross-platform compatibility, extending its usefulness on location and in the studio. Whether you're using a MacBook Pro, PC-based HP Z800 or Mac Pro, or any Mac with a Thunderbolt port, the Qio E3 fits seamlessly into your demanding production workflow.

Travel and Desktop Companion
Qio E3 pro media reader is small-about the size of three stacked CD cases-and takes up so little space, you can use it just about anywhere. It's rugged, too-the robust aluminum case easily withstands heavy use. This pro media reader even incorporates a slot for Kensington and similar security locks to secure the device and deter theft.
