I have some HD-SDI sources that need to be mobile for 12+ hours. Power isn't an issue but the storage is because even with 32GB CF cards I sit at just under 5 hours on this device. Does a SATA->CF adapter exist that would allow me to mate a set of solid state SATA drives to the Flash XDR? If there are any possibilities I would be interested in hearing since I have a handful I need to push out the door this year.

Hi Brian-
If you use the four of the Pretec 48GB CF cards and a data rate of 25 Mbps, I calculate that you will get over 15 hours of storage. Would this be sufficient?

Thanks for the reply..
In theory I expect it will be however I would need to test image quality at that bitrate to see how it shapes up. My only concern is that with other similar solutions for SD material I have always had to keep the bit rate fairly high because my targets are usual far off and the quality of the small details generally falls off quick as the bit rate goes down.
Do you have any samples at 25mbps I can download to get a feel for it?
