Sonnet products are the best--I used their fastest SxS with my XDCAMs and they saved me years off my life in transfer time. Will be ordering this CFast 2.0!

I'll also love to see a CFast card reader like the Blackmagic MultiDock.

Hello again !

Ive received info from gigabytes passport ticket and they told me to download the thunderbolt utility
on their hompage.
so i did and in settings i disabled the overide chain and after a few restarts the controllers from asmedia popped up in devicemanager and the sonett cardreader works fine

All the best
