Sxs Card Reader For Mac
- SxS Card Reader is great for those cards and more convenient that tethering the camera via USB, but its drawback is that it will not read the SDHC cards with the adapter (at least the Kensington adapters I have).
- When I try to search for 'SxS reader' they appear to be absolutely ridiculously expensive, to the point I might as well pick up a used old laptop for a hundred bucks or two hundred, and simply use it and its ExpressCard slot instead to read the SxS cards onto a portable harddrive for editing.

- For the Mac Pro, we have a PCIe to ExpressCard reader that works with SxS cards, but OS X doesn't implement PCIe hot swap on non-MacBook Pro machines. In other words, you would need to reboot the machine every time you want to read a new SxS card.'

More info regarding drivers
- The SxS card device drivers are only required only if you intend on inserting your SxS cards directly in an ExpressCard slot in your computer.
- If you use the SBAC-US10 SxS card reader, PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3 camcorders, or the PMW-EX30 deck, you do not need to install these drivers - they are treated as USB Mass Storage devices by the operating system.
SanDisk and Sony have jointly developed SxS, a specification that is optimized for Sony professional video cameras, and to verify that ExpressCard memory cards will support the high-speed performance required for professional video. The SanDisk ExpressCard carries the SxS logo, and is fully compatible with Sony's new XDCAM EX, which has two ExpressCard slots.
