Hope it’s not too late to reply.
I use a Firestore hard drive and it’s attached to my JVC DV Gy5000.
It has the 40G unit so it records about 3 hours. I use Avid Liquid for editing and it records in Liquid’s format so no conversion or digitizing is needed. It’s simply drag and drop from one hard drive to another. Takes about 8 minutes to transfer an hour of video via firewire. I absolutely love it. It’s my main recording media. I also record on tape but it goes in the closet after a shoot. In 2 years of using the FS I’ve had zero problems with it, unlike what you and I and others have experienced with tape problems and clogged recording heads.

A note about my Liquid editing system and the FS HD. When doing a multi-cam event, my editing system will only allow a multi-cam edit session from a “digitized” source. That is to say, I can’t drag and drop from one camera and digitize from a 2nd and edit the two together in Liquids multi-cam system. Both sources must be digitized first. Just something else to be aware of regarding using Hard Drives.
