Supports SxS PRO X Cards at Full Speed

Superior Ingest Performance
Co-developed by Sony®, SxS™ professional memory cards are the onboard recording media used in many past and current Sony and ARRI® pro digital video cameras and camcorders. The latest generation of exceptionally fast memory cards — SxS PRO X — offer a nearly 3x increase in maximum read speeds of the previous generation. If you use SxS media in your workflow, you should use an SxS card reader capable of supporting SxS PRO X and every other SxS memory card at maximum speed. For the fastest ingests, get a Sonnet SxS PRO X Thunderbolt™ Single-Slot Card Reader; it’s the best tool for the job.

Small and Ultra-fast

Ingest at Maximum Read SpeedsThe SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader is small, ultra-fast, and easily reads all SxS memory cards at their rated speeds.

The Perfect Travel Companion

Bus-Powered Operation
When you need to travel light and don’t have a large stack of cards to ingest, extra power bricks and cables take up extra space and can weigh you down. Sonnet’s SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader is bus-powered, operating off its Thunderbolt connection so there’s no need to plug in a power supply or power cable.

Supports all SxS Media

Broad Card Support
The SxS PRO X Card Reader supports all generations of SxS media up to the latest PRO X cards. Additionally, this reader supports SD cards with Sonnet's SDHC Adapter for SxS Slot (sold separately).

Compact, Rugged and Portable

The Single-slot SxS Card Reader for Digital Imaging Technicians (DITs)
Equipment size and design features matter. Sonnet’s SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single-Slot Card Reader measures just 2.8 inches wide by 4.1 inches deep by 0.8 inches tall (about the size of a deck of playing cards), making it suitable for use in any workspace and workflow. Featuring a rugged aluminum enclosure, the Sonnet reader packs easily into a computer bag or backpack. Its single-port Thunderbolt interface and bus-powered operation make it perfect for use at the end of a daisy chain (such as multiple Sonnet SF3™ Series dual-slot pro card readers).

40Gbps Thunderbolt

Fastest External Interface Available
Featuring a 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface, this reader ingests footage from all SxS memory cards to any Mac or Windows computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports — on location, in the studio, or in the edit suite — at the fastest speeds the cards will support.

All the Right Connections

40Gbps Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok 3 Included
Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable that supports Thunderbolt’s full 40Gbps bandwidth, and is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 computers. Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok™ 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip that prevents accidental cable disconnections — just slide it over one end of the cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the reader by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use.

Compatible with Thunderbolt 4 Computers and Apple M1 and M2 Macs

Sonnet pro media card readers are fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 computers. Sonnet’s media readers are purposely designed with a Thunderbolt 3 controller and its four lanes of PCIe (not available in a Thunderbolt 4 peripheral) to achieve maximum simultaneous ingest speeds.
