Review on πŸ’¨ Lightning-Fast Sonnet CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader with Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity by Jason Martinez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fast, professional quality

I use this reader on set as a DIT and it has greatly improved my workflow. I usually work with the Alexa Mini, Amira and C300 so a good quality c-fast 2 reader is a good investment compared to the slower ones that are usually rented with the camera. Copying to 2 SSDs also connected via Thunderbolt 3, I can offload a 256GB card in about 7 minutes. Almost twice as fast as my previous reader. The build quality of this reader is also worth mentioning. Its aluminum construction gives it a comfortable weight and allows it to be placed on a table or trolley. The swappable TB3 cable is also a nice feature, although the included cable is a bit short.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Low maintainability
