Core_SSD_3.jpg


OCZ seems to ship larger quantities of their 128GB - all our suppliers begin to list them as available this week.

The SSDs perform at 80MB/s write and 120MB/s read - double/triple the speed of the existing c/f-cards.

The 128 GB modules are offered at 330-350€ here.

shooting in 8 or 16 GB is always safer,
but having an option for more GB is always welcomed.
 
Redcode 72, here we come!

a raid 0/1 combination of these would offer the best of both worlds - the strenghts of the c/f modules and the dual 2.5 hdd raid combined:

- *long* runtime, as found in hdd
- *max datarates*, as found in hdd

- *shock/vibration resistant*, as found in c/f
- *leightweight*, as found in c/f

- *very* high backup & copyspeed, as probably found in none of both.

it would be excellent if red offers these *very* fast.
This SSD generation finally seems to fullfill the promise.
 
I read in a review that these are repackaged drives from another manufacturer.

They weigh just 77g and are 1cm thin. Would it be feasible to have a port like for CF cards?

That would be excellent - if red would offer a esata ssd 2.5 slot to replace the c/f slot.

Do these cards work on the Red One?

Is it being tested for approval?

This new generation of SSDs isnt sold by red yet. The 2005/2006 4500$ red flash drive never was sold, probably because the SSD technology back then was rather slow.

With these new SSDs, speed, price and capacity arrive at a sweet spot. An pretty ideal storage system for red.
The redraid uses standard 2.5 HDD, sata technology. The SSDs 2.5 are sata as well, only much faster, silent, less energy hungry, shock-proof - and ~200-300$ more expensive each.
 
will someone please test them in a reddrive! I would do it but don't have the time right now..
 
It's weird how long the Red flash drive is taking to come out (I assume they've been concentrating all their recent efforts on a stable Build 16) - the technology is definitely there and for a lot less than the $4500 they're touting. Theoretically even one SSD should have a high enough write speed (80MB/sec) but having two in a Raid 0 should be more than enough...surely!!!?? Would the SSDs need to be 1.8" though, rather than 2.5"...that might reduce the contenders. There's also the possibility of higher frame rates (especially in 4K) the speed of a fast SSD could bring which is quite enticing.

I recall Red answering one post about the impossibility of simply modding your own dual SSD set-up using the Red Drive enclosure, because it's not as simple as just swapping out the platters for SSDs like you might do for a laptop - there'd also be code needed to be written for it...and who's going to do that...only Red.
 
I'm sure RED has been keeping an eye on these developments. For the short term, putting them in a small portable enclosure and using as backup on set might be a good plan.
 
yes fast on paper, but it need to be tested to prove it
 
Wowwww...128gb!!!
50% less price, High speed, High capacities and low power
That would be excellent.
