Title: CF cards and R4
Post by: salmonite on June 21, 2008, 04:03:16 PM

So,

What kind of CF cards does everyone run in their R4. I usually just use the internal HD, but w/Rothbury coming up, I will be taping a shitload of sets including Panic in K.C. right before Rothbury, and will have no place to unload my HD until I get home a week later. will either of these work? Any reccomendations? You can only use up to a certain size of card on the R4 right? I should really be more familiar with my unit shouldn't I. Wait that sounded bad :P Thanks in advance.

A-DATA 16GB Compact Flash $53.99, A-DATA 8GB Compact Flash $28.99

i think the r-4 only takes up to 2gig cards. i only own ah 8g, and it does not work. i am not 100% on this, as i have only attempted once with my card.

Any reccomendations?

quickly get a bigger hard drive?  i have a 80gb drive / 8mb cache / 7200 rpm that gets me through full days of recording at 3-day festivals when i roll at 24/48.  PM me if you want the exact model, and upgrade help if you go this route.
