Panasonic AU-XPD3EJ expressP2 card drive to ship this April

The new expressP2 card drive Panasonic AU-XPD3 offers you the fastest speed currently possible with up to 17.6 Gbps (with two daisy-chained units) or 10 Gbps using one drive. It was specifically designed for use with the “B series” of the expressP2 cards, and the new Thunderbolt 3 interface which is 8x faster than USB 3.0 and 2x as fast than the previous Thunderbolt 2 generation. The drive enables daisy chaining (max 6 devices in one chain) and features a secure Content Protection System (CPS) technology. With the introduction of the AU-XPD3 this April, users will have a choice between a cost-effective option, the AU-XPD1, and a performance version, the XPD3.
