We started with <a href="http://www.addonics.com/products/raid_system/ae4rcs35nsa.asp" rel="nofollow">Addonics disk arrays</a> build in an old external scsi casing connected by SATA. But when the Quickport came available we moved away from the extra drive drawers we needed which added $14 to each backup drive. The only problem now is protecting the drives while they are stored. In the drive drawers the driver were more-less protected. Where did you get the protective plastic case from, looks like a good and safe solution. :-) I just wanted to add something of our own workflow... We use two drives containing the same information. Backup drive A and drive B contains the same data. Drive A is kept at location A and drive B is kept somewhere else. If a drive fails, get stolen or the place burns down, we still have a backup that maybe still works. An other thing we keep track of is how old the discs are. We visually color label discs by year and if a disc is older than 3 years we place the content on a new disk. Last note I would like to share <a href="http://diskcatalogmaker.com/" rel="nofollow">Diskcatalogmaker</a> it is more compact and lightweight version of CDfinder.

I especially like the order & redundancy, and of course the Sharkoon HD toaster, didn't know such gadgets existed... Thanks :) Fantastic workflow… looking forward to adopting it.

The "streamclipped" conversion is because in Final Cut Pro native codecs like ProRes speed up render and preview times. h264 is not a good codec for editing.

I'm a former HDV'er and recently moved to HDSLR, and this is very compelling. What is the Cineform file conversion for? I understand the raw footage and the "streamclipped" footage, perhaps that's the 60p to 24p conform for slow mo? Absolutely helpful.
