"And if it does work, we still haven't resolved the chip vs. speed."Do you mean the slowest (cheapest) write speed CF card it will write to ?
If that's the case, I'd rather know for sure it will be
more than fast enough and write error free.
I'm always looking to save, but if the solution cost more...at least I know it's worry free.
What seems to be happening is each mod test is with a slightly better card than the last.
But each one has fallen short because the speeds were not there or format didn't match.
Well, the technology has caught up to the needs of the mod.
It's just a matter of time till more cards at, or greater than, the 100Mb mark show up,
and at reduced cost. But till that's available, that is what I've found.
I'm open to suggestions too.
Does anyone else know of another 100Mb/s write (SLC) CF card ?
cheaper ? faster ? better ? Steve Austin ?
I can't even afford to buy a cheaper card right now anyway (
the deck hasn't even arrived yet)
But when I buy one, it's going to be a well thought out (& overbuilt) long term solution.
Right now, so far, it's the Hoodman RAW 16GB CF
tedyun - Is that what you meant ? or something else ?
the HOODMAN is 675X / SLC
16GB - ~$269.
32GB - ~$460. (ouch!)
