It's cheaper here and it works. I have one and use it on my macbook pro.

I use it as well. You may have to get some drivers depending if you are on tiger, but you shouldn't for leopard. Also, I noticed that I have to boot the computer up with the adapter in the slot, otherwise it won't read it. After I figured that out, it has been working just fine.

I'm waiting for more info on this: http://www.electronista.com/articles...s.card.reader/
It says it has dual P2 card slots and can support up to 20 external eSATA drives.
My ExpressCard slot is already filled with an eSATA adapter card to run external HDDs, so the DuelAdapter won't really work for me. I'm curious if the Sonnet Qio can ingest from a P2 card to an eSATA HDD through the same Qio device, and if it can, at what rate.

The rate would be governed by the speed of the external drive. If it's a single drive, don't expect more than about 2GB/minute. If it's a RAID, and an "E"-series card, you can get over 8GB/minute, but the drives will have to be fast enough to sustain that transfer rate.
Wish I could have gotten to the Sonnet booth at NAB to get some answers; right now this is probably the most-interesting new product announcement from NAB and there's not really any follow-up information at all that I've found...
