  • 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 :)

It's 4 weeks now after Jim said they would be available in 4 weeks or so. So are they there?
 
Expecting the first batch today...
 
today is the day!!
come on!!, erase this "coming soon".
Jarred, I know this is not a question of this Thread, but...
do you recomend any CF reader?.
I worked with some Expresscard CF readers, and one CF to eSATA intarface, and have real 38 Mb/s maximum. What is the read speed limit of RED CF 8 and 16 Gb??
 
remember though... we have HUNDREDS of backorders already on the 16gb cards... people started ordering them as soon as they went in the store.

So if you dont already have your order in, it will still be a couple weeks till we get through the backlog.
 
ok!
Doing the order right now!

I've hit 101MB/s on reads for the 16GB cards so you'll probably get about 77MB/s over fw800 and faster if you go with an expresscard reader.
However, the expresscard reader I have crashes my MBP often (GSOD).
 
Ok, I’ll try another one CF reader. We begin a Film production in September and I need to find the fastest/better one.
Faster than 77Mb/s? Great news!, Probably you’re talking about lexar CF reader FW800. Problems with Express card? I’ll tell you.
Thanks anyway. I had told to the Dop of this film: he can see the Redcine Screen On Set 10 minutes after the last shoot. So I need to find the fastest CF solution. This is my problem.
 
My times for offloading a full 16GB card to a two drive internal raid on a macpro:

fw800: 3min 26sec

esata: 2min 34sec
 
I don't want to start a stampede, but would you recommend updating an order before that first e-mail arrives, if you come to a higher understanding of your needs x by the introduction of new products?

I mean, I was so out to lunch when I placed my order that I thought the CF Module came with the camera! I need it, plus the 16 gig cards. Then the carbon fibre rods seem to have changed in composition and price...oh, Lordy! Though it's all for the better, I don't want to be out of production with such a great camera delivered into my hands.

I know that those who have actually purchased and paid for their cameras are in line for their accessories first; But....Aurgh! I'll just wait and see, but I'm going to update my order now if I can, as I need more firepower! And I may end up answering any of my own stupid questions in the process.
 
Brent, you guys are too cool! Some day I'll buy you all a cognac! Hopefully at my first RED feature presentation!
 
Drives are almost here.. Waiting for one part that just finished tooling and should come in the next 2 weeks.
 
So for those who hasnt got their RED yet need to back order the Drive and 16Gb too Jarred ? Need further clarification

I hope I was one of those first ones to order as it would be so kick A%#@S if I can shoot next week with those babies!

Depends on availability of DRIVES and 16 GB CARDS when your delivery batch is up. The first email you get saying your RED ONE is almost ready will indicate inventory situation.
