The Sonnet adapters serve as ultrafast alternatives to traditional internal and external storage solutions, mounting one or two high-performance SSDs on a PCIe adapter card that installs into a computer s or Thunderbolt(R)-to-PCIe card expansion system s expansion card slots. The Tempo cards deliver performance unmatched by spinning-disk drive solutions -- transferring data at up to 1,100 MB/s (Tempo PCIe SSD) or 940 MB/s (Tempo SSD Pro Plus) -- and enable users to add high-performance storage easily without occupying additional workspace.
