Key Features
  • 2 x CFast 2.0 Card Slots

Built using extruded aluminum for greater durability, the SF3 Series CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader from Sonnet features dual CFast 2.0 slots and 40 Gb/s of Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth to quickly ingest footage from CFast 2.0 and CFast 1.0 memory cards. Thanks to this bandwidth, both card slots can be used simultaneously at speeds up to 1000 MB/s. When only one card slot is being used, data is transferred at speeds up to 550 MB/s. This card reader connects to your compatible Windows or Mac system using a user-replaceable Thunderbolt 3 cable, and is powered using the Thunderbolt bus, which means that no external power supplies are required. Should the Thunderbolt 3 cable break, it can be replaced by removing the reader's back cover plates, unplugging the cable, and then plugging in a replacement.

question

Has anyone used this with the Apple thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter to plug into a Mac with thunderbolt 2 ports?
Asked by: Daniel
In order to use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter you would need the device to have a female Thunderbolt 3 port. Since the cable is attached on the Sonnet SF3 Series CFast 2.0 Pro 3 Card Reader B&H # SOSF32CFST, it will not be able to connect to the adapter.

Under key features it says the cable is user replaceable. What does that mean? I thought the cable was permanently attached.
Asked by: Peter
You can unscrew the back which gives access to where the cable is connected; it's a regular Thunderbolt cable plugged into a regular Thunderbolt female connector.

What is the length of the cable on this unit? Looks awfully short.
Asked by: Peter
The included cable is about 20 inches long. It is not built in so you could buy a longer cable if needed.

Will this work with a thunderbolt 2 connection on my 2014 iMac? What cable do I need?
Asked by: Basil
I can't say every thunderbolt 3 dock will work but it works 100% with the caldigit dock when using the apple adapter between the dock and a thunderbolt 2 MacBook pro.
