I purchased 4 from Projected Image here in the UK which were very reasonably priced and were delivered very quickly. I would recommend them. I haven?t found a better reseller in Europe anywhere.

Thanks for the info; Anyone know where in Japan to get them? Might have import tax issues buying in the the UK and shipping out to Japan!

Hi Finn
computer hard drives dont seem to attract import duty, just VAT & the equivalent.

What are you suggest to use in a mac pro ? 3,5 or 2.5 ?

3.5" wold be the obvious choice as it can be mounted on the existing drive bracket and slide straight in.

Hi Emilliano,
I can confirm the 3.5's work well in my Mac Pros. They simply slot into the drive bays. No more scsi adapters! I have 2 64GB's setup as a raid in each machine and get 9-10 layers of Pal SD in photo jpeg. I have not had time to play with AIC but Richard tells me I can get even more performce with this codec.

2 x (1920x800) with audio
2 x (1440x900) with audio
1 x (720 x 576)
all using intermediate codec,all at 25 fps.
I cannot check what is the quality of the LIVE input during this operation
video input was not available during my test,but there was
1 x Decklink Extreme HD + 1 x LFG4 perfectly configurated for
5 video input in the Catv4 m152.
the best work i haved alwais after reboot the system.
I use reboot the system after finish programmation/setup/export etc. etc.
