What's the word on the Red Drives? Are they still expected to begin shipping in mid-August?

I noticed that they are no longer listed in the Red Store...
 
Not taking new orders for RED-DRIVE and RED-RAM - but are currently fulfilling existing backorders for them.

As in, you guys are no longer producing RED drives? Is there a new media for the R-1 to be announced, or are you just expecting that people will switch over to high capacity CF cards?
 
Here's hoping the RedSSD mags and Red One module are almost ready to go so we can buy them now, then use them with our Epics as soon as we get them! Would help supply chain smoothness too for when Epic ships as well as by then a lot of us might have the SSDs already :)

Fingers crossed I'm right....

Yes, we are currently (and aggressively) working on other media options :)

Can we please get some clear answers on this? I'm currently in prep for a TV series with a firmly scheduled start date that will need to be shot on RED-RAM drives, and I need to know if I will be able to purchase them from RED or if I have to start hunting down some used ones.
 
Yes, some more information would be great. I have one Red drive on order but if next week something better comes out then I'll take that please.
 
To reiterate my above posts - For people who have existing orders, we are fulfilling those backorders as we speak. If you have not placed an order, no, we are not taking new orders for RED-DRIVE or RED-RAM. They are not on RED.com to purchase. Meanwhile, we are developing additional media options.

I expect 64GB Red CF's are ready to drop any moment now, but they're also close to releasing some kind of improved Red Drive/Red RAM/SSD configuration that will be Epic/5K ready (and Red One reverse-compatible??)
 
I'm hoping maybe even SxS cards as an option
 
New media options are all very good and exciting, but I am questioning myself what to do if my Red Drives go bye-bye before the new media options come out.

We will still have repair capabilities for existing RED-DRIVES....

I own a Red One and a Red Drive. The decision to drop the Red Drive at this time seems rather odd. Normally, you don't drop a product until the "new and improved" replacement product is ALREADY AVAILABLE. The reason I chose the Red Drive is because of its large capacity. It allows you to continue shooting without any worry about whether or not you're going to fill the thing. I certainly hope that some sort of large capacity hard drive will be available (which will also be backward-compatible with the Red One).
 
We have two red drives. We have currently lost one of them. I see the new SSD solution is now coming soon? We need a replacement now. If we replace one drive with the SSD base how will we mount it on our existing RED1 mount? This looks like it could become very awkward.... Do we have any time line. Any way to get another red1 mag any way to mount these two very different kinds of drive onto our camera interchangeably?
