Shooting tethered to Esata drive via express card

rap_digital
Hey Guys

With the announcement of the Core I7 Mac book pro's I'm thinking that I wont need to cart my towers around for much longer. I'll test it tomorrow but has anyone had problems shooting to external desktop drives via a esata express card?

Cheers

    Just a note, you are aware (of course you are) that only the 17" MacBook Pro i5 (opt. i7) has an ExpressCard slot?

    Yeah Also comes for 10.6.3 so buyer beware..... 😕

    Also, shooting to an external source is adding one more simple complication to an already complicated process.
    If the drive is not formatted properly, connected properly or otherwise a poor quality component you may risk losing captures. In my opinion you would be better off buying the 500GB 7200 RPM drive, shooting to it and then running something like ChronoSync to mirror the images onto an external for safety.

    I just find the laptop drives kinda sluggish. I may get the 250gb ssd (512 is an option now!!) and then back up to the externals. I wish Chrono would sync to multiple destinations....
