RE: [Avid-L2] Shotput Pro vs Auto Transfer vs Prelude

If you can afford it try and make one of your drives a RAID 1 at least. The G-Tech drives are pretty solid in my experience. Also, if you're transferring a lot of data you will be doing yourself a massive favour by taking drives with e-Sata connectivity. Be careful with the rugged drives, they are supposed to be bus powered but often i find that they are not and need the additional USB power cable plugged in, they also get REAL hot on long transfers. If you're transferring from CF card or the like then look in to getting an e-sata card reader, as slow USB card readers are the bottleneck often. Sonnet do a really expensive one called Qio but for much less Addonics also do an e-sata CF card reader. HTH,

Cheers,

Andi

Subject: [Avid-L2] Shotput Pro vs Auto Transfer vs Prelude


























Hello,



I know this is not entirely an Avid question but believe that the best answers come from this group.

I was wondering how Adobe Prelude compare to Shotput Pro and Digital Rebellion's Auto Transfer.



Can you also copy your card to different locations at the same time and verify that all media has been properly copied to each location via Checksum, etc



I am doing a 3 month documentary and will be on the road all the time. Was wondering what will the best and safest option be to copy, backup, verify and add metadata?

Each card will be backed up to 3 different Lacie Rugged drives.



As of now the show will be edited on MC6.



Any feedback appreciated.

W.
