I would like to leave the expresscard slot on the MBP for the SxS cards…….
If not I would have gone for the sonnet fusion…….
It is my understanding that the external card readers read the SxS cards are WAY slower than the Expresscard port, as they use FW 800 or USB……..
And also : if I were to chose two f.w 800 drives i would probably need to use the card slot for an extra 80 card – to have two separate busses – and then i would be back to square one…
darn…… esata should be built in on the MBP……
So what Im hoping for is:
SxS dumping throught eh expresscard slot.
RAID 1 ( fast enough for the XDCAM HD HQ 35 VBR and maybe even prores 422 HQ ? ) – connected somehow…..
