I have rented the 60 gig before (for 1 wedding) and everything worked great for me. I'm renting the 120gig it for this Saturday's wedding. There's not much info about this hard drive but I'm wondering if I can over-crank this baby all the way. I also noticed a "drive select" (a & b) switch which I assume I have to switch from 1 60 gig to another manually within the hard drive. This is cheaper than purchasing 32g gig sxs cards. Anyone have more info on this?
My bad on the previous response.

From what I know you can not over- crank as there is a built in limitation there. Btw, you could own a new e-films HDR for the price you probably had to pay to rent the Sony :-)

Worthless piece of Shxx.
I have one; interested to buy it?
If one can replace the 1.8" disk with a SSD version, than it will be something to consider to buy. To many restore errors.
I had better spend the 1000us$ as a downpayment for a RFF

Hi everyone... I did end up renting the 120gig. Over all, it was great. I think I ended up using around 70 to 80 gigs. I tried to over crank 60fps for around 5 min and had no problems (no restore errors). Here's a little note... you have to turn off the unit, switch to sides "A" or "B" and than turn the unit on to get the EX1 to read it. (A=60gigs and B=60gigs)

So the drive is partioned in 60/60gb and the firmware sees it as A and B. Interesting!

Not interesting when you have to turn the unit off, than back on. Sony say's "4 hours of uninterrupted footage". I would like to check out e-films HDR...but than I need another battery : (
