SF3 Series SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Card Reader Support Library

Description: This installs an applet that improves the handling of SxS media and ExpressCard adapter ingest and eject under Windows, enabling you to bypass the process of opening Device Manager and selecting "Scan for Hardware Changes".

Note: This software replaces the Echo ExpressCard Hot Plug Driver (Windows 11).

Description: SxS UDF Driver software enables reading of MXF files recorded in UDF mode on SxS memory cards. [Note: This driver is not sufficient to support the computer communicating with the device. You must also install the SxS Device Driver.] Installation of these drivers enables the Sonnet SF3 Series SxS PRO X Card Reader, SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader, and SxS PRO X Thunderbolt Single Slot Reader to support UDF files. Download and install the latest UDF driver, and then restart your computer.

This is the Certificate of Conformacy for the 60W power supply provided with Sonnet's SF3 Series Card Readers, and the Thunderbolt 2 and 3 Editions of the Echo Express SEL, Echo Express SE-I, and Twin 10G.

Yes, but you must use Terminal.

1) Open Terminal

2) Run

diskutil list

to get the name of the disk. It will be something like "disk4". Ejectable media are typically the last in the list.

3) Run

newfs_udf -v "My Volume Name" disk4

if disk4 was the correct one. The volume name is anything you want of course.

4) Unplug and replug the SxS card

(Due to somebody's bug, the disk will only mount after being ejected.)

5) You can run

newfs_udf

without any parameters to see other parameters that can be set.

The process can be automated somewhat by writing a bash script, which can be looked up on the internet.

If you have already installed the Sony Driver and it is not loading:
1) Restart (forces Mac OS to scan for unloaded drivers).
2) Go to System Preferences...Security & Privacy panel...General tab. You will see a message, "System software from developer "Sony Corporation" was blocked from loading." Click Allow.
3) Restart.

Note that you cannot "allow" a driver with connected remotely via screen sharing.
