Author Topic: Doremi e-SATA Interface ?uestion Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 03-16-2016 03:10 PM                     The ingest on the Doremi DCP 2000 at one of the venues I work at is painfully slow due to the lack of a CRU dock, so all ingest must be done via USB. Doremi Tech Support says I can contact "my Doremi dealer" and install an "e-SATA-INT DCP-315" interface on server (I assume it would plug into the motherboard) which will allow me to ingest via the e-SATA port on my CRU sled or e-Sata compatible mini-drives. So- - anybody have any experience with one of these?; . . . . or have any idea what they cost?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-16-2016 07:21 PM                     Very basic cable/slot adaptor. Around 50-60 US$ per Doremi price list. As a matter of fact, you could buy your own for just a few bucks on Amazon or eBay if you'd know what to look for. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-16-2016 08:20 PM                     There are simple cable and jack things that extend a motherboard SATA connector to an eSATA socket. SATA is not quite the same as eSATA, SATA does not support hot plugging. An active PCI eSATA card will give you a "real" eSATA port. I don't know what the Doremi one is, I have tried the cable type and had some success.  |  IP: Logged Marlon Martins Film Handler Posts: 78 From: Torres, RS, Brazil Registered: Apr 2015 posted 03-16-2016 10:07 PM                     Dave, AFAIK, e-sata and sata uses the same protocol, differences are on connector type, longevity, cable length, and other minor details, but that does not affect hot-plug ability. sata is hot-swap, and can be used like a e-sata, but with a few precautions. i use my internal sata connectors in my PC the same way as e-sata. eject the drive and re-plug anytime. i also use a e-sata to sata cable, so i can connect hd directly on the e-sata port that my pc also have. obviously i don't know how it is implemented on this particular machine, but for sure its not a connector limitation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 03-17-2016 03:11 AM                        Veary Cheap In Indian Market 15 to 20 Dollars Including Bracket  |  IP: Logged
