Disponibile l' adattatore da collegare alla porta Thunderbolt con il quale è
possibile ottenere uno slot ExpressCard/34 2.0. L’adattatore è di piccole
dimensioni (53.4 x 94.2 x 19.2 cm), consente di sfruttare vari dispositivi e
interfacce per ExpressCard/34 e supporta l’hot-swapping, in altre parole la
possibilità di collegare/scollegare a caldo le periferiche. Tra le varie
interfacce disponibili in questo formato ricordiamo: interfacce FireWire,
Gigabit Ethernet e USB 3.0. Non manca la possibilità di collegare card reader di
CompactFlash o SDXC, controller eSATA e altro ancora. L’adattatore si collega
semplicemente alla porta Thunderbolt di un qualunque Mac di recente produzione
con questa porta o all’ultima periferica collegata in cascata alla porta
Thunderbolt (sfruttando un cavo Thunderbolt, non incluso nella confezione). Non
serve nessun driver o software e il dispositivo non ha bisogno di alimentazione.
Sonnet afferma che l’adattatore supporta anche dispositivi particolari come Qio
e l’AJA io Express. L’adattatore ExpressCard34/Thunderbolt sarà in vendita da
ottobre ma può essere pre-ordinato sul sito del produttore. Il costo si aggira
sui 140 euro.

The adapter enables users of computers equipped with a Thunderbolt
port, including the latest Apple® iMac®, Mac® mini, MacBook Air®, and MacBook®
Pro models, to connect seamlessly with compatible ExpressCard/34 cards from
Sonnet and other manufacturers. Originally intended for notebook computers,
ExpressCard/34 adapters offer users additional connectivity and functionality
beyond what is available through their computers’ stock configuration.

“With our Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter, users can now extend the
capabilities of their Thunderbolt Technology-equipped Macs like never before.
With a single Thunderbolt adapter, they can instantly add connectivity to their
computers, whether increasing the number of ports, incorporating new interfaces,
or adding peripheral devices that otherwise could not connect through a
Thunderbolt port,” said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. “By
hot-plugging and swapping ExpressCard/34 cards, users have unprecedented
flexibility to change interfaces and devices when needed.”

The new ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter supports most PCI Express®-based
Sonnet professional ExpressCard/34 adapters and specialty adapters from other
manufacturers. Supported cards range from CompactFlash™ and SDXC™ UHS-I card
readers to FireWire® 800 and eSATA adapters. The new Thunderbolt adapter also
supports ExpressCard adapters supplied with specialty devices such as the AJA®
io Express. Sonnet expects other manufacturers’ ExpressCard/34 products to
become compatible as their drivers are updated to be Thunderbolt technology-aware.

Since announcing this product, Sonnet has received many inquiries about this
product’s compatibility with SxS™ memory cards, because they are designed to
interface with an ExpressCard/34 slot. Based on testing in Sonnet’s lab, it is
expected that the Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter will be fully
compatible with, and transfer data at full speed from SxS memory cards once Sony
makes available an updated driver that is Thunderbolt technology-aware.

Developed by Intel® and brought to market with technical collaboration from
Apple, Thunderbolt technology supports high-performance data services and
high-resolution displays through a single compact port. The Echo ExpressCard/34
Thunderbolt Adapter supports PCI Express 1.1 technology with 2.5 Gbps throughput
in both directions. The Sonnet adapter connects directly to a computer or at the
end of a Thunderbolt device chain with a (Thunderbolt cavo non incluso)
