Possible Red Storage?

[Appleguy]

Could this be used to store Red footage on instead of a red drive?

No. The drives inside the Red Drive use a proprietary firmware, and I think they are IDE anyway, not SATA.

The drive you link to only says 20MB/sec sustained write speed, and we all know manufacturer's ratings are usually optimistic at best. The Red needs way faster writes than that.

Even two of those SSDs striped together into a RAID-0, would probably still be too slow. Their write speed is only 7~20MB/s.

Like Brent said, the drives inside of the RED DRIVE have specifically tuned firmware to work with the unit's internal RAID controller and delivery the performance needed.
