would this work on a red one or scarlett?? it should theoreticly with writing speeds up to 45MBps.but im not sure if it would be fast enough.

anybody knows more about this ?

Forget it. The is currently no CF card on the market fast enough other than the one from Lexar, which is labeled by Red. No 16 GB yet, not even mentioning 64 GB.

Sorry,

I've never seen a CF of any size faster than 300x so it looks very promising.

Throw in some slower+bigger 32/64 gig CF in Raid0 et voila!
Should be more that fast enough. No?
Doesn't mean it will work in a RED though.

they are saying this get gets 45MB read and write and its new

I have no experience with Microdia so don't know if they live up to their advertised speeds. Anybody know a price?

try it out

 

[Jeff Butcher]

I thought the same thing when I saw that post on engadget. Mircrodia is a huge maker or cf...most likely one of the name brands buys from them. Theoretically it should work.. you should try it out and tell me how it works. Although it definitely wont work on the epic and scarlet.

someone please ask for a demo card to test in RED see if they will go for it!

write protect?

write protect?

I was under the impression that RED have introduced something internally through firmware where as no 3rd party cards will work whatsoever. This is to protect RED and customers. This may have just been rumour so as far as this is concerned i would wait until someone from RED chimes in and corrects it..if not well there must be some truth to it. But give em time, it's a weekend!

 

[Dylan Reeve]

It's very common for advertised speeds to be peak burst rates - RED requires a sustained high write speed, which seems to be the hurdle with most 300x and faster cards.

I'm very skeptical about that card.
