High-speed Data Transfers
If you need to add internal storage to your computer setup and high-speed data transfers are critical to your work, don’t look to 2.5″ SATA SSDs—you need an NVMe SSD-based upgrade. Today’s NVMe PCIe SSDs offer tremendous performance, easily outclassing 2.5″ SATA SSDs. Sonnet’s M.2 4×4 PCIe card enables you to mount four M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs(1) onto a single x16 card slot—it can transform the way you work.
eGFX Breakaway Box- High Performance Graphics Card Acceleration
Connect a High-Performance Graphics Card or Other Bandwidth-Hungry PCIe Card to a Thunderbolt 3 Equipped Computer. There’s no need for you to carry a heavy and expensive gaming laptop to have a great gaming experience—just plug in a Breakaway Box and add the GPU power you want when you need it.
For pro audio and video production media professionals, use of audio and video I/O, DSP and transcoding cards is essential to keeping up with recording sessions, as well as on-set and post-production timelines. The eGFX Breakaway Box is ideal for supporting the acceleration of special effects, animation, colour grading, rendering and editing workflows.
xMac Pro Server

Pro Media Readers
Sonnet’s pro media readers for SxS and CFast 2.0, featuring a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, offer a truly high-speed interface for ingesting high frame rate and 4K footage – on location, in the studio, or in the edit suite – at the fastest speeds the cards will support.
These readers feature an extruded aluminum shell that make them lightweight, yet rugged enough to be transported in an equipment bag without fear of damaging the case. SF3 Series card readers are designed to be stacked, allowing multiple readers to occupy the same footprint. The SxS reader enables you to daisy chain multiple readers to ingest four, six or more cards simultaneously, taking advantage of Thunderbolt 3’s 2,750 MB/s bandwidth.
