Re: [Avid-L2] Storage options for Red One?

RED is a moving target, which is one of it's features, but also can be a curse.

The 'RedRam' is long gone - it was more or less raided SSDs in the form factor of Red Drives - I'm not sure how many they sold. It was super expensive, but solved the vibration problems associated with spinning media while not having the limitation problems of CF cards. Everything, however, has been superseded by the Red SSD. You can still find Red Drives in use, but I don't believe they're sold anymore. SSD drives are much better all around for obvious reasons.

Also the way they 'rate' the compression rate has changed, so i don't think they use '36' as a compression rate for the Epic/Scarlet, but I could be wrong. That said, I think 36 looked (looks) great.

You really need to find a hardcore reduser to help you. It's really hard to keep up unless you use it every day, because the camera is in a constant state of evolution. Is there no camera department on this project? (Not that they would talk to post - ha!)

I do have a very good DIT/Data dude that I can refer to you off list if you're looking - union, but he also works non-union.

> Searching the net I see people mention Red Drive vs Red Ram. I'm figuring the Red Ram is really the RedMag SSD drives I see on their site. I can't find any of the legacy Red Drives there. According to my Reseach they are Raid 0 320GB drives that mount to the back of the camera. At 24 frame "36" they can record up to 3 hours of material. Is "36" quality overkill for an HD delivery? I'm guessing the plan will be to have a drive for each 90 minute show for each camera. Am I just missing the Red Drive option on the Red.com site. The media section seems to not show such a beast. Have they been discontinued?
