Blackjet has two relatively new storage peripherals: the new TX-4DS four-bay Cinema Dock with Thunderbolt 3 and the TX-1CXQ reader for CFexpress Type B and XQD cards. Both products offer rapid data transfer speeds up to 40Gb/s due to the inclusion of Thunderbolt 3, making them suitable for users who often shoot Ultra HD footage, manage data-heavy projects or who need to rapidly transfer large batches of images between drives.
The Blackjet TX-1CXQ Thunderbolt 3 hub features support for CFexpress Type B cards and Sony XQD / XQD 2. 0 cards with ingest speeds up to 1600MB/s and 500MB/s, respectively. The hub is powered by the Thunderbolt 3 cable that connects the device to the user's computer. The TX-1CXQ works with Windows 10 and macOS 10. 12 and higher.
The model is priced at $199 but is listed on multiple online retailer websites as on backorder without clear availability or shipping dates at this time.
Joining the card reader is the Blackjet TX-4DS Thunderbolt 3 Cinema dock, which features four M. 2 NVMe SSD enclosures, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy-chaining up to five Thunderbolt devices (displays, external drives, etc. ), and optional reader modules for directly turning the inputs into CFast 2. 0, XQD, SDXC, SSD, SxS and CFexpress card readers.
The TX-4DS features a built-in cooling fan and can be configured with RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD using the included software. The unit measures 120 x 145 x 155mm (4. 7 x 5. 7 x 6. 1in); it is compatible with Windows 10 and macOS 10. 12 or higher.
The enclosure is available from numerous retailers, including Amazon and Adorama, for $499. 99—the price doesn't include SSD drives, which are sold separately. You can find out more information on Blackjet's website.
