The camera will do the formating just as it does with the SXS/etc. memory cards. It's good to be specific. A better word for "tear down" is do the modification to the ExpressCard by fitting it with a USB cable. I've changed the wording in that post. |

Robert, what are you using as your storage device? My Corsair 128 SSD formated once straight away. It will ask to be restored after, I mount it on my MacPro, otherwise there is no need. Sony's SXS cards behave the same way. |

Ross' web site has been down all day Sunday so I presume he might be updating it with some amazing new product.
Correct-- the only Express34 slot in the product line is now the 17". |

There is more unpleasant news surfacing for video editors wanting to use the new MacBook models. To get the longer battery times, Apple has dropped the SATA speeds down from 3.0Gb/s to 1.5Gb/s. Apparently this has negative impacts for those wanting to use the newer "faster" SSD's. Just what we need - "Slower SATA Interface" speeds:

After extensive testing of my SSD system on a shoot in Italy, I'm well happy, so going ahead with building 3 systems now.
I'm currently transfering 18 SDHC cards to my edit system, each one taking 14 mins, whilst the 2 full SSD's took 14 mins each to transfer just under 10 hours of HQ - The SSd's ran flawlessly for 2 days, it was a fantastic experience not to worry about changing cards or running out of power. It was hot, around 28 celsius, but the drives stayed completely cool, even after a single 3 hour recording stint - and after a day, the BPU30 was showing half used ! Thanks to all Paul
