I wonder why this model requires an external power source? The Sonnet SF3 Series CFast 2.0 does not.
The Sonnet SF3 Series CFexpress/XQD Pro Card Reader requires an external power source due to the high power consumption of CFexpress and XQD cards during data transfer. In contrast, the SF3 Series CFast 2.0 reader operates within lower power requirements. The additional power allows the CFexpress/XQD reader to support simultaneous high-speed ingestion from two cards and provide up to 15 watts for connected peripherals, ensuring optimal performance.
