SSD Raid Laptop
Okay, close your eyes faint of heart, maybe clients too.
This is that little 12″ laptop hanging off my tripod from an earlier post on the Cambo RS.
The day I can afford a P45+ or 65+ and go untethered maybe I will, but I might always want to review images on a larger screen. If Phaseone came out with an iPhone app for image review well maybe then…
Anyway, what you see below is a dual SSD (solid state drive) installation in a 12″ Powerbook G4. Aside from being small there is a whole long story about firewire port voltage in newer Mac laptops, I’ll spare you. These are not the world’s top SSDs (ie intel x-18e’s), but they are raided up for speed in raid 0. And should insulate me some from a ‘movement’ incident with rotating drives. Those that understand this and are shaking heads, yes I carry a bus powered clone I can boot and work form if the raid flakes on me. Each shot set also gets quickly backed up to a usb stick around my neck (the new photographer’s loop!).

The second SSD is installed in place of the optical drive with an “Optibay” adapter from a company called MCEtech.
