Now how are 3.5 drives being used now?

And small drives, in general: I’m thinking IPod drives. You know that thing in all the ads with the wildly gyrating listeners?

I can’t see most client’s paying for something of much greater $ value than the worth of a tape. Mostly out of habit, I suppose. But also economics given the alternatives.

But getting back to large IDE drives… I meant as a post production device, not at the camera head. The scenario would be to take a P2 card; stick it into a PCMCIA slot; and transfer all the data to a USB2 Large IDE. Without calculating, seems that would be comparable to an HD tape cost for a client.
