How about two of these?

If power is an issue in the field, I would recommend adding a bus powered USB 3 shuttle drive that you can then dump to the RAIDs later.

Hi Steve,

I am looking for a couple 2-3TB bus powered portable drive for a shoot that is taking place on a remote mountain range. We won't have a raid at camp and will be solely dependent on a honda 2000 watt generator. I have experienced issues in the past when powering our max digital RAIDS off these type of generators so I want to keep it all bus powered. Do you have any recommendations.

I do appreciate it.

Hi Steve,

I have a shoot coming up in a remote mountain range in BC. I am also looking for a couple 2-3TB bus powered portable drive solution. Do you have any recommendations?
 
I just went with normal portable WD 3TB drives. as they are "cheap" its easy to get 1-2backup drives. Also better then one system as you can store one and give other drives to other people so if something happens to your bag,... What I do with Red footage is usually do rough cut and export R3D trim in RedCineX as this usually saves me at least 25% of the space. sometimes even 75% if i do extreme sports and doing long takes waiting on the athlete... I can do all of this in and hour or two before I go to bed or at the airport,...
