SSD REDMAG - recording capacity with Scarlet-X

[Erik Lundby]

Hi.

I´m doing a big project next year where I plan to use two Scarlet-X.
We will be shooting for ten days in the mountains, and are not able to offload the SSD-mags as we go.
So I need to calculate how many REDMAGS we need for the task.

Does anoyone know the recording capacity (runtime) of a REDMAG 256GB 1´8" SSD?
(Calculations for shooting 3K and 1080P HD, 16-bit RAW with both compression choises: 18:1 and 3:1, please)

Thanks!

Recording times were mentioned somewhere in a post on the scarlet forum (can't find it now). It was somewhere of 10:1 = 30 minutes on a 64Gb...

But 10 days with 2x Scarlet recording to SSD... you will need a considerable fortune for purchasing ssd's.

If you record a lot of 1080 maybe something like a KiPro would be an option too?

Thanks for your reply Erwin.

I found the Red Scarlet-X Datasheet link here on the forum: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?66210-Scarlet-X-Data-Sheet&highlight=recording+times
That was really helpful.
