  • 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 :)

Red CF ?

We will and it will be the fastest, sexiest CF card ever made. :-)

Oooh!! Oooh! How much? I'm finalizing budget, gotta work some in!
 
Everyday the price goes down... wait until we ship yours and include it in the order.

Does this mean that we should buy the Compact Flash module and not the 1.8" SATA module? Red seems to be really championing CF these days whereas before they seemed to favour SATA. I'm confused.

"The more we look at ExpressCard's performance and standalone format (not SATA), along with it's pricing... the less we like it. It is on the chopping block waiting for me to say "Pull!".

Jim"

not sure if much was changed since this post in may. The way i look at it.. I would want to get whatever is available. So far, with the CF testing and working in the field.. looks like THE flash choice upon the cam's release. By the time you get yours, more option might be available for you to choose from. At that point it becomes, how much GB/performance per dollar value you can get. I wonder if overcranking requires faster data transfer speeds?

It's not an either or proposition is it? Flash Module replaces RAW port not the SATA plug.

Official confirmation?
 
The "SATA Plug" you're mistaking his quote for is on the back of the body - it's an eSATA-based LEMO which interfaces with the RED DRIVE and RED RAM. The SATA module fits right where the RAW port and other flash modules go... except it allows for use of 1.8" SATA-based flash media drives.

All AFAIK.
 
Any idea when 16GB or (Wishfully thinking) you might have 32GB CF cards Jim?
 
Couldn't find another thread on this, though it may well have been brought up, but if, say, one gets a RED camera this coming year with the CF option, and it turns out that 5 years down the line for whatever reason, everybody's using SATA, will it be possible to send the camera back to RED, plunk down a couple of thousand dollars or so, and have the CF module replaced with the SATA module?

(I would assume that this is the case, if one is to take the stance of rendering obsolescence obsolete, but I can't recall anyone bringing this up before).

The CF module is user-replacable. Only the RAW port requires factory installation.

Is that correct? Since the CF module goes in the same place on the side of the camera that the RAW port does, I would assume that swapping from any module there to any other is a back to factory job. Still perfectly doable none the less.
 
Multiple CF slots?

Multiple CF slots?

Sorry for double posting as I've just made this post in another thread.

Will the CF module remain with only one CF card slot or are they looking into
putting another slot into it? I remember people talking about this, and I was
just wondering how this is turning out to be.
