Compact Flash to the Power of Four
CompactFlash (CF) memory cards are rugged, offer high storage capacities, and can deliver fast data transfers; that's why HD camcorders from RED® and Canon®, as well as DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon®, use them. Even as the card specs have improved, moving ever-larger files from from cards to computer has remained mostly a low speed affair. If you have ever ingested files from CF cards, you know what we mean. Plug in the camera or a USB 2.0 reader, grab a cup of coffee and relax while all those gigabytes of data are transferred at around 30 MB/s. But what if you need faster transfers? Or want to ingest files from more than one card at a time? Sonnet's Qio CF4 is the answer to all of these questions.
