New CF cards coming soon?

That's what it is ( SATA ).. cant use RAW SSD disks though, the insertion rate on the contacts fail after 500 times.

So a small, low-profile enclosure for the disk with a more sturdy connector? :-)

yup.. that is basically the SSD module for the Epic/Scarlet. Once we get all the kinks out of it, we can explore development of a RED ONE module that uses the same "RED-MAG".

but the warning could have a "click here to accept that use of this card may cause data corruption."

doesn't matter.. I unfortunately speak from experience. Heck, just look at beta camera builds. We tell and warn and scream up and down for people not to use them on production... and of course, people do, then they yell at us when something goes wrong.

Then they call us and we say:

" well mr. smith, you are not supposed to use a beta build on a production "

which of course is just fuel to the fire, and we get sworn at even more, the next sentance is usually:

" the producer will call you in a minute "

.. at which point all is lost.. the producer doesn't give a shit what a beta camera build is all he knows is the RED camera ruined his production.

And that's just camera builds.. Media is a far bigger evil. You can get corruption without knowing it on bad or slow cards. Really strange things can happen... and its not a firmware fix away to make everything better. We just don't mess around with media.. A few people really appreciate that.. but many as you can see do not unfortunately.

Aha, I knew you guys were gonna be all over SSD mags... Nice work, very much looking forward to the end of spinning-disk aquisition...

...And the Epic, of course! :)

Good news about the 32GB CF cards. Hope you guys one day will be the first for beating 133MB/s limit(886x) or first for CFast.

Exactly! A producer friend of mine got his movie shot on a couple of Reds that were rented for his feature and he was talking to me about how the red failed a couple of times on the "said" great new firmware released the day before. That's when I let him know he had the idiots who installed the BETA firmware the day before when directed not to by RED.

Wow, what a ramble when you said it so well.

Sweet :-)

I gotta say, Jarred. As much as I hate not having larger (and cheaper) CF cards - your firm opinion on this matter just calms me down. Thanks for looking out for (even the dumb of) us :)

$500 for 32GB and $200 for 16GB sounds like a nice price range. I would buy...

Me too. That's a reasonable price range.
Could anyone answer my question from the last page?
