There is something which I think is a game-changing for the DIY guys on the MAC side - coming from a company nobody is paying attention to at the moment - can't tell you any more than that except I'll give you a little clue - that companies stock was below $12 a share at close yesterday - a steal at that price.

Mark, you kill me man. Need another clue or two to track this one down. :help:

What most people miss is how much faster you can process with SUPER FAST STORAGE. Get FAST storage!! There are some new PCIe Raids that offer lots of bang for the buck.

Any suggestions? I'm in the market to buy some fast storage.

CS4 will not disappoint you -:devil:

When is this scheduled to be released? I can't believe I'm contemplating Premiere, but that's how this industry works. Everything comes in cycles.

But what do I know ... (wink!)

Apparently a lot! :biggrin:

i'll take a stab at it...nvidia? there just aren't that many publicly traded companies that make cards...nvidia is known for positioning itself at the high end of processing power, which fits RED. and it's under $12, and i look at a lot of cheap stocks, and not many are cheap these days, even if their prices look beaten down, but this one is actually somewhat attractive at its PEG and has been on my watchlist...

and they've got that Tesla architecture that has really found its home yet in a consumer-based model, mostly institutional so far, and this certainly fits the need for speed.

do i win?

I wish Apple would have shown redusers and the digital cinema revolution some love. But short of that, this is an excellent development. Apple is suffering under the weight of its own bloat, too bad.

Adobe is going to find some new buyers from this, if Apple doesn't answer this move...nice for them and for us....

oh and, thank you RED team, for not wasting a second pushing this through...

I guess Apple is too busy churning out millions of iPhones to give FCP users some love...:sad:

I think you are the winner!

Mark also gave us all a tip on NVDA's stock price last year. Although, I'm not so sure that one worked out quite well....

wow, I missed that one, you have some memory, Curran. The market environment is a little different now than it was then. But the chart is actually looking pretty nice for a trade right now. Big blow-off gap on declining volume, could muddle along for awhile, which would be a good thing. Limited downside, unless the market legs down from here, strong probability as these miserable bank failures work their way into the system...

But I digress...

Thanks! Have you compared them to Caldigit?

I have not physically tested them against the Caldigit arrays, but I did do a lot of research before we finally decided to buy our first Dulce array. The first one worked wonderfully and we bought a second one about 6 months later. Dulce was started buy guys who used to work for Huge systems, and I believe they left after Ciprico bought them out, so while the company is fairly new, the people behind it have been doing this for a long time.

There are a lot of really good storage solutions out there these days, so I can't speak for all of them. But my experience with Dulce has been wonderful. The speed, performance, reliability, support, ease of set-up and integration into existing infrastructure have all been stellar.

Try 3Ware. The Sidecar is great. 250 MB/sec sustained RAID 5, 3TB. You can swap them like external FW800 drives once you install the controller card.

LOL! I actually got out at a very nice moment.

And now I am getting back in - :wink:

I think Jen-Hsun Huang is a winner. I like to bet the jockey.

so, I'm guessing HD-SDI support might be in Mac's future?

I'm a big fan of generic done well (yet freakishly still an Avid user, but I digress) and lately I'm pimping for Ron @ MAXX Avid who's selling essentially the same tech as Cal Digit and Dulce- theirs is called the 'EVO2' (they've moved to a newer external box.) Not yet networkable, but local to a macpro In Raid 5, I get speeds better than 600 MB/s - that's real-time dpx territory.

And, it's so cheap, around 5 grand or so for 8tb, I'm mainly using it as near-line backup of our I-can't-afford-to-upgrade-it Facilis Terrablock (also a great product, but different price range.)

Hard drives have become commoditized, so go for service and value. I've also heard great things about Cal Digit, and literally have had clients bring them in for capture- they're pretty slick but more $.
