Macbook Pro Port/Drive configuration

[Dan Freene DOP]

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro. Latest system with only one firewire 800 port. I use it on set and am wondering what the best and fastest configuration is. I have heard that an adapter is available to convert the Express card slot into an E-Sata port, another FW800 port, or a twin E-SAta, or a twin FW800. What is the fastest set up to transfer data to 2 drives simultaneously?

For 2 drive simultaneusly is better to get E-sata. But about speed it looks like same . Because of read speed of CF reader is FW800 , sow when you will copy footage from FW800 to E-sata speed will be FW800. But with Express slot and esata you will get best solution for BackUp on set.
