Hey there RED owners:)
I have a 320GB RED drive for rent at $50/day or $150/week.
It works great except that the firewire800 port does not always work. Although the USB 2.0 and Firewire400 ports work just fine:)
Drive comes with power supply only, NO RED Camera drive cable included. Although I can throw in USB and Firewire400 cables if you need them:)
Now before anyone freaks out, for most people, this is not a big deal and here's why: Firewire800 has a max transfer rate of 100 Megabytes per second, USB 2.0 does about 60 MB's and Firewire400 does about 50 MB's. If you are doing your transfers on a laptop, your hard drive will most likely max at about 60-70 MB's: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2...hput,1113.html
As you can see, most laptop hard drives are in the 60-70 MB's range so USB 2.0 at 60 MB's will do fine:) Now if your laptop has a SSD inside, that's a different story

Feel free to ask any questions! I live in Glendale, California which is near downtown Los Angeles. Anyone is more than welcome to stop by and inspect the item:)
