Speedy file transfer to PC EX1/EX3 ?
Has anyone found the FASTEST way to get the MP4 files off the media (SxS, SDHC) and into a PC desktop system?
I find ANY of the USB type connections to be tediously slow. I have looked for a Firewire, eSATA, PCIe type solution which all have higher bandwidths for data transfer. so.... has anyone got a good solution to this sloooow transfer?? thx in advance for any ideas. |
A laptop with an Express Card slot has proven to be the fastest way to transfer. But then you have to move the files to your editing system.

yea I am familair with this solution but I need a proper PC based solution
|
doesn't anybody make a desktop PC with express card slot?
|
I have this drive in my editing PC:
PCI Express to ExpressCard 34|54 Slot Drive Read-Writer Front, Synchrotech Works great; the only caveat being it's not hot-swappable (BIOS/OS - dependent). But if I remember to insert an SxS card while first booting, as long as I don't switch my PC off but put it to sleep instead, it's OK. And very, very fast! |
well you have to put numbers in perspective. As advised for this adapter :
" The PCIe 1X configuration allows for the full 250MB/s (megabytes unidirectional) throughput for PCIe based ExpressCards, while the USB 2.0 configuration allows USB 2.0 ExpressCards to operate at their 60MB/s speed" Ok, but The SxS speed is anyway not bigger than 100MB/s, so usb at 60MB/s is not so slow. and this is even worse for SDHC,even if you got the fastest one (between 30-40MB/s), USB speed still outperform the card speed by 2x. |
