Overview
This CFast Card Reader/Writer is the ideal solution for connecting any CFast
media to any computer via the latest SuperSpeed+ USB 3.1, USB 3.0 or eSATA port.
This reader is equipped with eSATAp connection to take advantage of data and
power from the new eSATA USB Hybrid Port. By using the optional Addonics USB 3.1
or USB 3.0 - eSATAp adapter adapter, this CFast Card Reader/Writer can access
any CFast media via the latest SuperSpeed+ USB 3.1, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 or the
ubiquitous USB 2.0 port and be directly powered from the USB port with the
included eSATAp cable.
CFast is the latest Compact Flash media standard with native SATA interface
to achieve much higher data throughput than current CF standard. The current
generation of CFast media that we have tested show a data throughput of around
100 MB/sec. To learn more about the CFast standard, please review the following

The eSATA USB Hybrid port (EUHP) is a new port commonly found on new
generations of Notebook computers. This new port works with both standard eSATA
and Hybrid eSATA power cable (eSATAp). When connecting this CFast adapter to
EUHP with an eSATAp cable, the CFast adapter can get power and data connections
at the same time via a single cable. To learn more about this eSATA USB Hybrid
port, please visit the followingEUHP tutorial page.
