Hey there RED owners
I have a 320GB RED drive for sale for $800 or best offer.
It has been used about 2 times a month for the last 2 years.
It works great except that the firewire800 port does not always work. Although the USB 2.0 and Firewire400 ports work just fine
Drive comes with power supply only, NO RED Camera drive cable included. Although I can throw in USB and Firewire400 cables as a bonus if you want them
Now before anyone freaks out:w00t:, for most people, this is not a big deal and here's why: Firewire800 has a max transfer rate of 100 Megabytes per second, USB 2.0 does about 60 MB's and Firewire400 does about 50 MB's. If you are doing your transfers on a laptop, your hard drive will most likely max at about 60-70 MB's: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-2.5-mobile-hard-drive-charts/h2benchw-3.12-Avg-Write-Throughput,1113.html
As you can see, most laptop hard drives are in the 60-70 MB's range so USB 2.0 at 60 MB's will do fine Now if your laptop has a SSD inside, that's a different story:coolgleamA:
Feel free to ask any questions! I live in Glendale, California which is near downtown Los Angeles. Anyone is more than welcome to stop by and inspect the items
