well its writing to TWo mediums the SAME data, so what do you mean by eh ???

is it a RAID 0 im thinking of?

Ah, I see.  The 722 may write to HD and CF simultaneously, so there's redundancy.  Gotcha.  That doesn't really make it RAID1, but yeah, I get what you're saying - the redundancy is surely a benefit to some.

exactly

actually, i *think* in the 722 manual that it says it is a RAID 1 setup

I think with the v2 upgrade on the 702, $500 is nowhere near worth it:

-160GB 2.5in HD ($175)
-usb2/firewire 2.5 in HD case ($35, I already have one, has a 30GB drive stolen from a busted laptop in it now)
-usb power pack (~$20)

4x the space for less than half price, and I have the option of bringing it or leaving it at home. you could set up an equivalent 40GB drive for less than $90. The extra bulk adds up to something about the size of a wallet, and is easier to keep cool.

to me that's more flexible, to some it's probably just extra crap they don't want to deal with. but I think it'd work pretty well in the situations where you need more space.

Also: flash is far less sensitive to heat than mechanical HDs...If the 722 gets as hot as some people say it does, I don't think I'd ever trust just recording to the HD. Have many people had HD problems?

ONE BOX vs. one box + extra cabling/batteries/space isnt worth it for me

tj has a pretty sweet setup with that v2 all cabled up in his bag. i dont know if there are pics of the setup somewhere, but if you are running a v2 > 722, you should definitely ask him what parts he is using (cables, lengths, batteries, etc.)

i just am surprised with what happened with the cf card this weekend...

the only issue i can see with the hard drive is the heat, and if you are not doing tons of festivals, this is kind of a non issue...

i did all good (25+ hrs) and moedown (20 or so hrs) and only ahd one problem at moedown, no clue what happened, and taboot, it happened the first nite of the festie and not after that ??? all good was WAY hotter overall and i did more recording. i think it was a firmware issue, since i was running 1.79 beta, instead of the 1.74 i ran previously

so i think it was just a random issue somehow, and wouldve been solved if i would have been running a CF card as well(which i plan to buy an 8GB CF Card)
