Red Drive Vs. Red Ram

[Airlawn]

How do these flash storage modules work? Are they factory installed like the RAW Port? Why choose Ram over Flash?

I love the idea of primarily recording to Flash memory, The Sandisk Extreme IV, seems like it will do the job, at 8GB they would pretty closely equal a standard 400ft roll of 35mm.

I guess the drive will be very handy at events/concerts and anything that goes on for a long time.

I'm going solid state all the way; P2 has been a good experience for me.

We want to put the RED in a aerial unit with a Wescam System. Is it possible to know how much weight the RED one body has with RED RAM and one RED Brick ??? Will it possible to get longer wires for the SATA Bus and power cables from the brick?

thanks

I do have to clarify... the drives were a problem with the helicopter. They did NOT like the vibration and we needed to come up with a creative solution to make it work. We did not have RED RAM in NZ. RAM (flash) is safer. And you should consider it as a better choice if you can afford it. Another safe option is recording to Compact Flash. Everyone who buys a camera should add this option. I repeat, everyone who buys a camera should add this option.

Just curious Jim,
At what point prior to our personal shipping date can we make adjustments to our order? I would like to add a couple of options if the money is available.

Thanks for your time and effort.
