We planned to use this nifty super fast download docking station as part of our DIT
package - but never got around to building that DIT station because we are too busy doing other stuff...
Package was opened once, card was installed, worked like a charm. Then we pulled it, put it back in the box and
never used it again.
Price: $450 incl. shipping within the continental US.

description:
How many different memory card readers do you have? Chances are Sonnet'sQio Universal Media Readerwill replace them all. Qio reads from and writes to P2, SxS,CompactFlash, SDHC, and SATA storage systems with an eSATA interface, at up to 250MB/sec--much faster than FireWire or USB adapters. It has dual P2, SxS, and CFslots and an included adapter for SDHC cards, allowing you to offload files or copy files between any cards, attached drives or host computer efficiently and quickly.
Qio also has 4 eSATA connectors, enabling you to connect 2 Sonnet Fusion F2 portable 2-drive RAID SATA storage systems (not included) and copy files between themwith ease--you can also connect 4 drive enclosures such as Sonnet's Fusion D400QR5 (not included) and Fusion D500P (not included) with access to as many as 20drives, thanks to Qio's support of port multipliers and integrated hardware RAID controllers.
Since the SxS slots double as ExpressCard/34 slots, and the P2 slots are compatible with CardBus cards, Qio essentially sextuples the number of expansion card slotsavailable to you if you use a notebook computer. If you use a desktop computer, Qio lets you swap adapter cards without opening the case--you can utilize WiwFi,FireWire, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and other adapters as well, because Qio's included interface card extends the PCIe bus outside your computer, basically addingexpansion slots to your computer.
All in a rugged aluminum exterior the size of 3 CD cases--5.9 x 6.2 x 1.2" (14.9 x 15.7 x 3 cm).
Replaces multiple card readers--comprehensive memory card compatibility with support for Sony, SxS, Panasonic, P2, CompactFlash, and SDHC cards (with includedadapter)
Built-In SATA connections--integrated, fast SATA host controller based on Tempo SATA E4P with four eSATA ports supports and powers two Fusion F2 SATA storage systems, or supports SATAdrive enclosures with up to 20 drives(3) total
Fast--uses PCI Express bus interface to deliver superior performance; aggregate bandwidth of 250MB/sec
Small and rugged--strong aluminum case measures just 5.9 x 6.2 x 1.22"
Universal 12V output AC power supply with wall plugs for US, Japan, Europe, UK and Australia is included--for battery-powered operation, the included XLR 4-pin adapter cable can route batterypower to the Qio
