Mobile Storage
Whether you're doing on location video capture or downloading your camera to your mobile computer at a shoot, it's a good idea to create an immediate backup of your work before you delete or format your capture card. This requires an external storage solution. There are several awesome options available. You can attach single or multiple hard drives via Firewire / USB or keep it natively SATA for even more speed and simplicity. To use a Firewire / USB Enclosure all you will need is the enclosure with the hard drive installed. Plug it in and go to work. By using a native SATA solution you can count on achieving the fastest possible speeds.
To attach a native SATA system you will need a Host Adaptor Card in one of three formats, PCMCIA (Cardbus Card) for older machines or Express34 or 54 for the newer PCs and Macs. The adaptor cards slide into a slot on the side of your mobile computer and provide external Port Multiplier capable eSATA ports. These cards can direct mount two drives or by using a Port Multiplier Enclosure attach up to 10 drives to your computer.
If you want the smallest possible mobile drive check out the KC21-SATA that uses a SATA laptop drive and can fit in a pocket. This enclosure can be bus powered via USB or Firewire ports so no external power is required. If you need a more robust mobile enclosure that has a built in power supply and offers a great cooling solution check out the Burly Single Bay Enclosures. They are available in Direct Mount or Hot Swap configurations. The Hot Swap enclosure is great because it allows you to capture to a single drive then pull that drive out and slide it into a desktop enclosure when you get back to the studio for editing on a faster computer.
