I Saw WAOH !

NVS 2500 is apparently available now, it's got a custom P2 adapter that ships with it, that plugs into the SxS slot. So, yes, one device that can offload Red/CompactFlash, AVCHD/SD/SDHC, SxS, and P2.

Abel Cine Tech carries them.

Looks like about $2,000 for the 500GB version.
 
500Gb drive sounds great. However I already have more partitions than availible drive letters on my camera USB powered portable HDD that I export cards to.

This is less of an issue on Mac's but is a PITA on Windows PC's as some partitions do not appear and have to be manually assigned via disk manager prog.

How does the Nexto handle it?

Also haven't looked into this device yet, but will it record a 1394 stream from cam?

I've had one of the NVS2500 since pre-beta days and now am free to talk about it. It comes with a P2 adapter and handles CF, SDHC, SxS-- anything you can throw at it. The current firmware does not allow preview of AVC-I files, but it will play back DVCPRO HD, HDV, XDCAM. AVC-I will follow. Has SATA interface for fast transfer to editing computer. Interesting product.

Ok nothing great about it much though. Now that you have it would it be nice for use for offloading JVC HM700 type SDHC cards ... i wonder why JVC's SDHC 16GB cards werent readable on other mass storage recorder used for Photography offloads on fields from SD/CF cards...

Perhaps Ned can answer, but by first guess and from experience with my prior Nexto, I'd say that it doesn't do the partition thing at all. It probably just creates a new folder for each offload.

Almost unquestionably not, but Ned can confirm or deny.

That's pretty wild that it'll actually play back DVCPRO-HD streams on its screen, I didn't expect that at all.
 
Does not record a stream from the camera. It is strictly an off-loading device and now with the 2500, it is both a preview and an offloading device.

It creates a separate folder for each download, if that's what your question is.
