Ok, the battery time seems good enough for me. 4 Hrs with one drive and 3 Hrs with two and Hot-Swappable Batteries. cool. Would be nice ifs there have been any reel life testing of the battery time by now. Please let me know.

Is there any difference betwen the "160GB non raid single disk" and the "320GB Raid" or is it just that the "320GB" is two 160 disks in raid,
and the singel 160GB you get a empty diskslot (that you can fill later)

What i mean is that if i by a 160g now can i buy another 160 later and plug in or is it just a singel hardisk slot in the single version?

And If i want the 320 then I must use two 160GB disks right, if then i wounder if that will decrease my battery life alot.

I been reading half of this tread and did't find the answers.

Hi Joel,

The 160GB model does NOT have RAID capability and you can only use one slot. You will be able to upgrade the unit at a later date if you wish. It will likely cost more in the long run.

Second drive will lower your run time by about 20%

To clarify if i buy the 160gig model, ill be getting a 2 slot cineporter with one 160 gig hd right? Can that extra slot be filled with any of the other additional hd's u sell? I know it won't be raid, but could i get more storage cabability?

Just like the CP-2, the single drive CP-3 can only recognize one drive at a time. We have no intention in preventing you from using larger drives, as they come out, just one at a time. :)

The RAID function "opens up" the second slot and you can then use them both as well as other features.

Yeh, our daily schedules are now like this: 30 min sleep, 30 min with the wife and family 23 hours working on the CinePorter. :zombie_smiley:

Maybe that means that the raid solution is using an Oxford semi RAID adapter between both drives, if this is the solution charging a premium of $1100:undecided it's very expensive for this adapter/chip.

My 2 cents.

Boy, I wish it was that easy. The Oxford solution sounds nice and neat, but unfortunately there are still lots of problems with it. We couldn't even get the raid to work correctly when we were choosing our chipset.

David, I love what you guys are doing and I agree it's better late and a good product, but I gotta ask, how much longer? Can I take mine home from NAB???
 
Barry, Jason, thanks for helping out with responses.

Shannon, I think Jason is right. You MAY be able to fit it laying sideways.

Ted, you won't be able to take one home at NAB, but there is a possibility that we may take actual orders then. We are working out the dealer channel right now.

Not what I wanted to hear, but since my birthday is the first day of summer, Happy Birhtday to me! :birthdays:

Maybe I'll hold off for a belated B-Day present by a week or two.:)
More importantly, make it right from the get-go. :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply David and Bary.

But of Course DVXUser buylist orders first? ;)

I want mine autographed! :)
 
The GroupBuy list is for a discount, not a place in line for 1st production units :)

Which I might add and say there is only 20 spots left.
