Some questions about buying a used Red One MX

[Oliver_G]

I am looking to possible pick up a used Red One MX and I have a few (hopefully) simple questions,

1. Are there any serial number ranges that have had a lot of issues?
2. I've seen some things called REDRAM, they look like the 320gb Drives, but are grey and 128GB, can someone fill me in on these, is it that same as a Red Drive, just flash based instead of disk based?
3. Can you use any CF card with the CF module? Im looking at 128GB Sandisk Extream Pros.
4. Have many hours do most Red Ones last, a lot seem to be up in the 1700, but I have never seen on in the 2000s, so how much longer is there estimated life span?
5. Do Red still support the Red One, with things like repairs, inspection and maintence?

Hopefuly you can answer these, thanks :smiley:

I was thinking the same thing. And as to the hours on a R1, seems that some of the high-shooting' folks around here have had over 7,000 hours on their cameras, would someone please confirm?
