Re: Considerations and Consequences of P2 technology

[tony salgado] "Luis with all due respect your comparison is quite questionable given the point that a user would have 1667 individual tapes with the footage for long terms storage versus a P2 card which will be erased and recorded over time after time. "



Fair enough.
You're right, but it's a tough comparisson to make seeing as the use of the media is quite different.

I suppose you could add into that the cost of HD storage for that much footage. In the end I suspect it may still wind up being less expensive, as the cost per GB on hard drives is getting lower everyday.

This just highlights again to me how the use of solid state media for aquisition requires a paradigm shift in the way we look at media and archiving. A 1 to 1 comparison isn't really possible.
