Author Topic: New CRU Move Dock 3S Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-06-2015 12:56 PM                     Has anyone tried this new CRU eSATA dock with the GDC SX-3000 and the Doremi IMS yet? Seems like an inexpensive way to add eSATA. I still have customers ingesting by USB!

CRU and GDC are working this out. The RTX does work but is much more expensive.

But CRU is working on this with GDC to try to resolve it. There are still alternatives that do work, they just cost more. The odd thing is the drive shows so in the bios but the move dock does not stay powered up long enough for it to be detected as a working eSATA bay, this is one time when being green and spinning the drive down doesn't help.

It's really handy since we just switched to a Barco Alchemy server in one house (hooray for no LMS support). It doesn't have any (e)SATA ingest options, but it does have USB3. I noticed that on the dock, but it only came with a USB 2.0 cable. Anyone tried the USB3 functionality yet?  |  IP: Logged Kris Verhanneman Expert Film Handler Posts: 182 From: Belgium Registered: Dec 2009 posted 09-15-2015 12:46 AM                     On the Barco Alchemy the USB3 works great with this adapter.  |  IP: Logged Ian Freer Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Wellington, New Zealand Registered: Oct 2003 posted 09-15-2015 03:57 AM                     For the record; the SATA/USB2 MoveDock works great with the eSATA on the GDC SX-3000, ingest speed is on par with a traditional CRU Bay in a 'regular' server (and allows LivePlay to function); hardest part for me has been finding good supply of SATA-to-eSATA cables, it's not a common cable here in NZ so only one or two computer shops carry them. I have had a couple of SX-3000 units that the bios settings have needed correcting for AHCI/IDE settings, but so far that's been only 2 units and once it's been corrected they've been fine (to date, it's only been a month or so since I went through the process)...  |  IP: Logged
