Qio Reader/Writer
By Sonnet
Designed for in-studio or on-location applications, the Qio universal media reader/writer features P2, SxS, and CompactFlash slots and the ability to transfer data from two cards concurrently. For almost any other memory card type, including Memory Stick, MMC, SD, and xD-Picture, the Sonnet 21-in-1 multimedia memory card reader and writer is included. The Qio connects to a computer through an included cable and either an ExpressCard/34 (for notebooks) or a PCIe (for desktops) interface adapter. The included adapter extends the computer's PCIe bus outside the box, providing faster performance than USB and FireWire interfaces. The reader/writer's SxS slots also double as ExpressCard/34 slots, while the P2 slots are compatible with CardBus cards, including Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, USB, FireWire, and more.
