In the world of professional media, IT, and creative production, one name has long been synonymous with performance and reliability - Sonnet Technologies.

Featured within Holdan’s portfolio, Sonnet brings a powerful range of expansion and connectivity tools designed to help users get the most from their systems — particularly those built around Apple’s Mac platforms, including Mac Studio, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and the MacBook Pro. Their solutions are designed for professionals who demand consistent speed, stability, and long-term flexibility from their hardware, including Mac upgrade solutions that extend capability and performance.

Who Are Sonnet Technologies?

Founded in California in 1986, Sonnet Technologies, Inc. has been designing performance-driven solutions that extend the life and capability of professional workstations for nearly four decades. Their goal is simple: help users do more with the systems they already have. From filmmakers and broadcasters to IT administrators and post-production engineers, professionals around the world rely on Sonnet for dependable hardware that bridges the gap between compact computing and enterprise-grade performance. This focus on solving real workflow challenges, not just adding ports or features, is what has made Sonnet a trusted choice throughout the industry.

Professional Expansion and Connectivity Solutions

Sonnet’s products are engineered to keep pace with today’s creative and technical demands. Whether it’s ultra-fast storage, network throughput, or GPU acceleration, Sonnet’s solutions ensure your Mac or PC can handle the most demanding workloads through professional connectivity options and PCIe expansion where needed. Their modular, upgrade-friendly approach allows users to add, expand, and scale only the capabilities they need — eliminating unnecessary cost while improving workflow efficiency with truly modular workflow hardware.

Thunderbolt Expansion Systems for Mac

Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis allow you to connect professional PCIe cards — such as video capture, audio DSP, or high-speed network cards — to Apple systems without internal expansion slots. These chassis provide flexible Thunderbolt expansion possibilities for a wide range of workflows.
Perfect for compact setups like Mac Studio and Mac mini, they bring workstation-class capability to smaller desktops.

High-Speed Networking for Creative Collaboration

For studios and enterprise users, Sonnet’s 10 GbE and 25 GbE network adapters provide the bandwidth needed for collaborative editing, shared storage, and real-time media streaming — fully compatible with macOS and Thunderbolt™ connections. These adapters are engineered for low latency and sustained throughput, making them ideal for large project files, multi-user timelines, and high-resolution production environments. Sonnet offers you a one-stop product destination to help you connect to 25Gb, 10Gb, 5Gb, and 2.5Gb Ethernet and AVB networks.

Thunderbolt Docks & Media Readers for Apple Creators

Sonnet’s SF3™ Series Pro Card Readers and Thunderbolt™ docks are built to support the latest professional cameras and workflows used with Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro on Mac.
These tools ensure fast, efficient data offloading and robust connectivity for cameras, drives, and displays — whether you’re in the studio or on location.
