Transferring footage from Compact Flash Cards
Hey all quick question,
Currently on a shoot now as a DIT transferring footage via compact flash cards from the nanoflash unit.
My question is, is it safe to transfer each card to two hard drives that are daisy chained at the same time or transfer to one drive and then once completed transfer to the back up. I have been doing the latter worried transferring to two drives at once will mess something up.

How are you transferring your files over? It sounds like a thing you wouldn’t want to do. I haven’t done this before with daisy-chained hard drives, but I would use something like Shotput Pro and have it copy to both hard drives and verify the copy. I know that daisy-chaining them will cause the transfer to be slower.

I was using a compact flash reader via USB and simply dragging and dropping all the files to a G Raid drive and then once done i dragged and dropped again to a lacie rugged for back up.
