Re: Hard drive recommendations for P2 files?

I'm working on a workflow for my company's new tape-free production environment. I'm looking at a similar 4-drive enclosure from startech. They're cheap enough that I can buy one for both edit suites and our animator and just hot-swap when we want to load footage.

For raw footage, the plan is to buy enough P2 cards to be able to bring them back to the office & offload them onto the current "camera original" SATA drive (swapping it out & popping it in the library once it reaches capacity).

Since p2 cards are expensive and transfer times might make using a p2store in the field impractical, I'm looking at a desktop PCMCIA/P2 reader for desktop Macs:

Then again, if p2 cards ever got super-cheap this process would be sooo much simpler.
