Sonnet Qio card reader
 
Is anyone using the Sonnet Qio card reader? I would like to know how well it works.

Thanks
Art

It has not arrived yet - maybe December or January...

I see that now. I'm going to keep my eye on it. Seems nice.

Why is it that everything connected with P2 seems to take FOREVER to come out? Kind of like the HVX200, HPX170, all of the larger P2 cards, the QIO, etc. I love the P2 but man, do we have to be super patient to use P2.

Hi Dan,

Yes I think your correct about patience. the "P" in P2 may just signify "Patience".
I'm sure others will have opinions on this..
Lets hope we can have some bench tests on the Qio prior to Christmas. Mine is on Pre Order.

Cheers

Guess - Panasonic just tell about what they are working on, on day one. I do not remember for how long I have been waiting fo the AG-HMR 10 and camera - but it's about a year and it has changed design through that time. Whats with the Sonnet thing - Heard that they are not quite satisfied with it yet. Maybe it has something to do with the release of the new P2 cards that other non-Panasonic P2 readers also have problems with.

Hi Bob,

Sonnet - Qio: Professional Universal Media Reader/Writer Plus Four eSATA Ports
Probably late delivery as far as i know sonnet have packed alot into this multi-card reader, and as I found out with my own efforts towards getting a P2 card reader up and running, OS changes like Apple SL and new windows, must have been a nightmare to deal with.
Sonnet are now saying on their site delivery may be prior to christmas. Lets hope.

Cheers

Panasonic AJ-PCD35
 
Panasonic's AJ-PCD35 is lightening fast in terms of file transfer and comparing its specs to those of the Sonnet, it's more than twice as speedy and, of course, twice as costly. You get what you pay for but, then again, the extra speed may not benefit everyone.

Hopefully the QIO is beng delayed to include USB3 and/or a Light Peak port. Of course I'm assuming the next Macs will have one of those ports as well, which may be a leap of faith on my part.

Dan Brockett November 14th, 2009 07:44 PM

You mean like how Apple jumped all over Blu Ray for the Macs? Always on the cutting edge (NOT).

Why wait for USB3 when Sata offers the speed today...?

Here is an interesting machine on UK e-bay for P2 file management:P2 Workflow Tool with Panasonic AJ-PCD20 (Broadcast) on eBay (end time 21-Jan-10 17:00:06 GMT)

James Ewen January 21st, 2010 01:54 AM

Still nobody with the Sonnet Qio?
 
Looking forwards to hearing how this reader stands up in the real world.

Regards the Ebay auction, I cannot help thinking that the owners of something so specialized would have missed its arrival...

Tom Klein January 27th, 2010 02:08 AM

Looks like not too much longer to wait.... Mac Version shipping very soon...

Who's going to be the first to test drive the Qio, and post some results ?....

Cheers
