The CalDigit HDPro drives handled the entire project flawlessly. We finished in Final Cut Pro’s HDCam 10-bit Uncompressed CODEC, running on a G5 Quad. The performance and interface was impressive. The HDPro handled all of the footage seamlessly and beautifully. In the end, the project was so successful with Mitsubishi... Read More...

Video Atlanta
Video Atlanta purchased the SRV2 HD 1.5 TB and we could not be more pleased. I have built my own internal SATA raid in our G5 with mixed results. This raid box is well built. The PCI controller card comes with it making it very simple to purchase and install. I would recommend this product absolutely... Read More...

I just recently completed a High Definition project of 36 minutes that was shot and edited at 720P 24PN using FCP 5 and the CalDigit S2VR-Duo.

Herbie Hancock
I have a keyboard and Power Mac G5 computer with Logic Pro as a software solution that I use as a "catch-all" for all the softsynths and music software that I might need for recording or that I want to try out before including them in my touring rig. The 2 - S2VR HD eSATA units provide more than adequate speed, storage... Read More...

The CalDigit is a creature that hooks a ride with Jimmy and me whenever and wherever we go on tour with our MacBook Pro laptops.... It is blazingly fast in transfers.... just plug it in. Our G5 at home cruises like Mad Max when we do the hookup thing with the ''digit'', (thats what i call it) Easy to use, feels and looks pro, the digit performs without a hitch.... Read More...

S2VR HD - The first Mac Pro drivers
By Don Wilson (Americana Media, Inc. Studio City, CA. - http://www.AmericanaMediaInc.com)

I have a mixture of CalDigit and Huge drives and they both are great. I've never had a single issue with either and both capture uncompressed (well that's not true, all HD is compressed) HDCam and D5 flawlessly. I like the CalDigit guys as do I the Huge guys. I gave CalDigit a shot as I met them at NAB...with a great desire to help and they were the first to get me MacIntel drivers...

S2VR Duo - Working like a monster!
By Wayne Granzin (UNDERSTAND INC. Houston, Texas. - http://www.understandinc.com/)

Hey just wanted to drop a line a say that my duo drive is here and in the production chain and is working like a monster! Been throwing various dvcproHD files at it and it just laughs and says “gimme more!” very pleased with my purchase and with YOUR service.



S2VR HD - Excellent price, solid product!
By Ron Thompson (Riot Productions. Fairfield, NJ. - http://www.riotproductions.net/)

CalDigit is great! I built a second edit system (KonaLH) and installed a S2VR HD. Delivered 5 shows for network, loaded 20+ hours of DVCPRO50 and ran the system for about 3 weeks straight--in some cases day and night with multiple editors. The drives are a work horse...dare I say right up there with the Medea and Huge.

I have uncompressed HD footage that I ran a loop test with, and the drives had no problem with them.

Excellent price, solid product. I've had it for a little over 2 months now.

S2VR Duo - I love the CalDigit S2VR Duo
By Jeremy Torres (Photographer, Fort Wayne, Indiana)

"I have received my new S2VR Duo and am running on Mac OS X 10.4.8. I have a PowerMac G5 dual 2.0GHz (PCIx). I loaded all Aperture libraries to S2VR Duo, everything is working fine... I love the CalDigit S2VR Duo. I've tried other SATA II external solutions, and yours is unquestionably the best in regards to build quality and support."
