  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

So how many ssd mags are people thinking they'll need to buy? Four x 16gb has seemed to be the magic number for cf cards, but considering the fast offload times how many ssd's do you think will be necessary for smooth turn around? 3 x 64gb?
 
2x128gb
Hopefully RED will not have a shortage of SSDs.....

That was my thought too. That could easily handle a day of my work, allowing plenty time for transfers...

Enough to get me going without being greedy and maybe adding two more later.

I like the idea of 3 x 128. One for shooting, one for offloading, and one for redundancy.
 
Keep in mind that with 5K being 60% more resolution sites than 4K and the new REDCODE options(less compression) and high fps 64GB SSDs may be more like 8GB CF cards depending on your needs and desires.

Yah, I was wondering just how fast the Epic would eat up the new media with it's F*ck All data rates.
 
Me, too. Can anyone do the math and let us know how much media time these different sized drives will handle? It will definitely impact the size of drives I order.

Agree, and since I plan on upgrading my R1 MX also, I will need 4 of them.
I will concider getting 2 x 256 when they become available.

Also I like RC 28/36 so much, I definetly don´t plan on gathering even more Tbs by shooting RC5:1 (I got a shelf full of drives already)
