Jonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Win 1 of 10 CalDigit VRs - 15 years agoChuck, We raffled off one at the Supermeet in SF last week, that's aside from the other 10 that will be raffled off. Your chances are as good as anyone who enters to win. Incidentally, although you're not obligated to sign up for our newsletter when entering the raffle, you might want to. We generally will send out 1 newsletter a month, with new product info, specials and the like. If yby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Win 1 of 10 CalDigit VRs - 15 years agoSo far so good with the 2TB Hitachi drive testing Andrew Kines we do sell in Canada, Carbon Sound & Picture, Precision Camera, Computer Systems Center, among others. You work the shipping out with Shane, but I don't see why that would be a problem.by JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Seagate - 15 years agoHoku, As Shane & Joey pointed out, there are enclosures & there are the drives that go inside the enclosures. It's important to have both a GOOD ENCLOSURE & GOOD DRIVES inside the enclosure. I would like to point out another very important factor when making a decision on your storage, SUPPORT. If you look around out there you'll find that some websites for some "Storage prby JonatCalDigit - Café LA CalDigit VR shipping very soon! - 15 years agoHey all. The wait for the highly anticipated CalDigit VR is almost over, it'll be a little belated Christmas present. The 1st run of product will be in house 12/29 to begin shipping that week. We're very excited, with many units pre-sold around the world, it's going to be well worth the wait. Hit me up if you're looking to buy or review. Thanks & Happy Holidays from all of us.by JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the LaCie 4 Big Quadra? - 15 years agoJoey, Ok, I'll relent: That's a Nodhammer, it's just I like to pronounce it incorrectly in my crazy Dutch accent as NOODHAMMER! Being in the Netherlands makes one kinda crazy. Being in the Netherlands with Shane doubles that! Jonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the LaCie 4 Big Quadra? - 15 years agoShane, LOL, too funny. What Shane said folks, is an inside joke between Shane & I. Jonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the LaCie 4 Big Quadra? - 15 years agoAquaimage. & then there's Shane with his HDOne, or Michael Horton's counterpart in Boston, Dan Berube, whom loves his HDPro. There's Joey Morelli, a moderator here also that has several CalDigit products & Ben King that knows enough about us to know we're good. He'll be getting a HDPro or HDOne in the near future in the UK, where he's based. Incidentally. I Like the new pic Shane, aby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the LaCie 4 Big Quadra? - 15 years agoAquaimage. All CalDigit products are fully populated with drives in every bay. An 8 bay HDOne 2TB for instance would have 8X 250GB drives inside. On pricing, our office generally quotes USD MSRP, that is to say US Dollar Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. The HDElement runs about 99 cents a GB, for the expansion unit itself, the CalDigit RAID card sold alone runs about $678.00 with theby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the LaCie 4 Big Quadra? - 15 years agoAquaimage. I'm sorry if your e-mail question hadn't yet been answered yet. If you sent an e-mail to sales that was involved, tech speaking, that might have been re-routed to support@caldigit.com or to our CTO Leslie, either way it should have been handled in a timely manner. As Mike Horton indby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: OT, but editing-related - 15 years agoKit, I think that question particularly pertains to your individual workflow & whether or not you're manually backing up and have a need for maximum throughput, RAID 0 ok in that situation, or you need protection and can sacrifice some througput, RAID 1 would be recommended there.

We're always happy to help with any technical/support issue.

The CalDigit VR is going to begin shipping the 1st week of December. If you want to see one, go to HDExpo in Burbank today, some of our crew are there now, Jared & Lauren, I'm sitting today out after working all day yesterday. We know the CalDigit VR is a highly anticipated product. I'm sorry we haven't started shipping them yet.

It offers impressive performance, unmatched connectivity, and superior quality all in a sleek and easily upgradable enclosure that is both small and functional.

The new product, 2 bay Quadruple interface is officially now named the CalDigit VR. Joey, I hear what you're saying, but fear not, the FireWireVR like your S2VRHD is still fully supported & warranted. We had the need to update the FireWireVR & also to build a suitable replacement for the S2VRDuo, and we've accomplished both things in the CalDigit VR You asked: How lonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: OT: Caldigit FirewireVR question for Jon Schilling... - 15 years agoJoey. I thought that the drive module price adjustment would make you & a number of people happy. We just sent out the new pricing yesterday. Contact me direct & I'll hook you up to your choice of dealers to buy from. You also said: If I purchase 2 - 1 TB units, I can simply swap them out, format them in Disk Utility and I am ready to go?

We've eliminated the multiple points of failure that can happen with a DIY (Do it yourself solution) All CalDigit firmware and drivers are updated on a regular basis (laby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the Highpoint RocketRAID 2640x4? - 15 years agoSproketz, Just to reiterate what I said, so it's not taken out of context, "In testing software RAID cards running a competitors 4 bay external box used as much as 30% of the host machines CPU while IDLE, not doing anything". I didn't particularly reference any one companies product. All I wanted to do really was to illustrate our strengths with our card. Thanks for considering ouby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the Highpoint RocketRAID 2640x4? - 15 years agoTony, The Highpoint card in question initially was a 2000 series card. Those cards are software RAID cards, which means that they TAX your host machines CPU for their processing power. Your host machines CPU needs to run your OS & applications, not your RAID storage. In testing software RAID cards running a competitors 4 bay external box used as much as 30% of the host machines CPU while Iby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Supermeet Amsterdam - 15 years agoDan, That's a great idea. We'd be happy to talk with you & Mikey more on doing this. Jonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Supermeet Amsterdam - 15 years agoOne word, awesome. Great venue, great people & great response. CalDigit was proud to sponsor this great event. Ben, nice to have finally met you. Ramy, nice to have seen you again. Mike & Dan, you guys did a really really great job, as did everyone involved. Ben, that was quite a canal cruise wasn't it? Was great to have had you & Michael aboard & the best part, we didn't sby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Anyone using the Highpoint RocketRAID 2640x4? - 15 years agoJust FYI, any 2000 series Highpoint cards are SOFTWARE RAID, no dedicated cache or CPU, so that's why that card is less money. You do ultimately get what you pay for.by JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: I wish to upgrade my "work" editing suite - 15 years agoSorry Guys. I was at Siggraph last week & in the field doing dealer training in the LA/Hollywood area Friday, Monday & Tuesday of this week. (I'm the LAFCPUG monitor for CalDigit, incidentally). I had minimal access to the internet last week & Shane Ross (who has my cell) was out of the state last week. Ben King has the facts right on our CRC CalDigit RAID card though, &by JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Speed and Mirroring - 15 years agoJoey, Since you asked, I'll put it out there. MSRP is $549.00 without the battery backup, MSRP $649.00 with. You can find the product under the MSRP if you do a little looking. A plethora of fine dealers can be found here: I've also been in communication with Rob Art Morgan of Barefeats will have some test results tomorrow I understand. & since also since you mentiby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: Speed and Mirroring - 15 years agoSproketz, The battery can be added later.....frankly the only reason we offered as an option is because "others" have it on theirs. If you have a good UPS, then you're good. If you do want the battery back up, it's $99.00 MSRP & will be available the week of 7/28/08 Jonby JonatCalDigit - Café LA Re: FCP HD system specs question - 15 years agoNo prob, this is why I stick my nose in here from time to time, either that or Shane puts up the Batsignal for me.

What we recommend on our RAID CARD is the same as what Apple recommends on their RAID card. With 4 drives internally you don't RAID the 4th drive, that will house your OS & applications, you'd only RAID 3 drives. (MacPro) If you really want to have the 4 drives RAID'ed internally, you'd want to get a kit to convert your I/O slot to fit a 3.5" hdd, & that would house yby JonatCalDigit - Café LA 10.5.3 Issues with HDPro, or HDOne problem, fixed..... - 15 years agoPlease take note that the update for 10.5.3 users has been posted on our site!
