NEW: Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Flash Drive — This solid-state drive (SSD) storage device is capable of transferring data at speeds of over 2,100 MB/s, and is equipped with 512GB of flash storage. The Fusion flash drive is an ultra-fast alternative to portable SATA-based hard disk drives, SSD storage devices, and USB thumb drives.

The new Fusion flash drive connects to any Windows computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port via a user-replaceable captive 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable. Measuring a compact 2.8 inches wide by 4.1 inches deep by 1.25 inches tall, the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe® Flash Drive features a fanless aluminum enclosure that enables silent operation. The device is bus-powered and so requires no power adapter.

The SF3 Series — CFast 2.0 Card Reader features a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface and dual CFast 2.0 card slots. These features enable the reader to ingest from both cards simultaneously at concurrent data transfer speeds up to 1,100 MB/s — more than double the average ingest speed of USB 3 card readers. The compact SF3 Series — CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader is compact, features a rugged aluminum enclosure, and is bus-powered with no power adapter required. 

Echo 15+ Thunderbolt 2 Dock New Configuration Option — Sonnet will show the Echo 15+ Thunderbolt 2 Dock, a fully featured docking station for computers with Thunderbolt ports. The Echo 15+ enables users to connect multiple devices to a central hub, and then connect to all of them with a single cable. The Echo 15+ features four USB 3.0 ports, two 6Gbps eSATA ports, one FireWire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, two 3.5-mm audio inputs, two 3.5-mm audio outputs, and two Thunderbolt 2 interfaces, plus the space, mounting support, and 6Gbps interfaces for one or two internal SATA drives.
