    Would you know the approximate upload time of 64 GB from a P2 card using a Panasonic card reader to a a Macbook pro?

    I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on a IMAC 27, Intel core i5 2.7 GHz, 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3… MAC OSX 10.6.8 I have a 2 2 Terabyte external drives also.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The good old USB2 AJ-PCD2 reader will take about 42 min. via regular OS X Finder or Win Explorer. If you use with Shot Put Pro 5, double the time for MD5 verification.

    USB3 PCD-30 will take about 15 min per P2. You can use all 3 cards simultaneously and performance is still an impressive 15/min card via USB3.

    AG-MSU10 will take ~14 min to its own MBX-10 hdd tray. x2 for full bit by bit verification. I have 2 of these MSU10s and they are indispensable for high volume, error-free laptopless field offload.

    Despite all of the new 4K cams and tech, P2 format is still very viable for fast turnaround, high multicams# broadcast field productions.
