Pseudo "dummy" SD card to HDD

heradicattor

So... i am thinking, if is possible to adapt a "dummy" SD card to a HDD? For the camera the HDD appears like a regular fat32 formated card, with it could do write GOP1 220mbs all the time... sorry for my bad english, i wish someone can understand the idea :)
Powering the HDD is easy.

Some links of SD cards extenders to begin:

He has the same idea maybe... unlimited AVCHD recording :) No more Ninja needed

If its possible to work a SD like a HDD via cheap adapter, we need the inverse function, an HD act like a SD :)

I like this idea, but I think that it is not feasible. What of the power drive. What about data transfer protocol. SD format differs from the format of the USB or ATA

sd to ssd would be awesome.
the giga of a ssd is cheaper and faster thar a sd extreme card.
powering the ssd is no problem, the thing is a sd to usb extension cable or something similar.

here is aninteresting thing the mobidapter
http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/mobidapter.php
wonder if anyone had a ssd pluged there.

lolo

mmm

this(the mobiadapter up above) :

an hdd, and a portable power source
:)
it should work i think

lolo

mmm or mabe not, the mobid adapter says:

"USB pens supported up to the maximum capacity of the host PDA or phone. (Limited by the SDHC specification to maximum 32GB)"

so i don´t know, maybe yes, maybe not, i don´t know

heradicattor

Thx for the feedback, maybe with this solution we can forget about bitrate/write errors in the cards, and have VERY much space to record!

Powering one notebook hdd is easy with any battery, in the Powering GH2 thread the XPAL battery seems posible to power the GH2 and a hdd.

No one interested in this idea? Goodbye SD cards!

I email the mobidapter people and this is their reply:

"Hello Andres

It is not something that has been tested and so I am afraid it would be try and see.
Sorry I really can't advise any further on this but the 32GB is the hardware limit.

These are not an expensive item so might be just worth buying one to try it out!

See a list of our stockists below on the link:

Estamos todos jodidos entonces, hubieramos empezado este "thread" en español.
Yo soy un venezolano que vive en Argentina.

Saludo a chile también.

Use PM, please.

oi! eu nao falar espanyol.

this is what i've been looking for. hdd or ssd recording instead of an SD.

andres

We don't know if it'll work.
Mobidapter -> usb to ssd with 5v battery adapter -> ssd
the people at mobidapter say that they don't know if it will work. There is a possible 32gb limit.
You could add a sd extention cable to make everything more portable.
All the links for testing are here except for the ssd batery.

sebasp1

this would be really nice low gop high bit rate on portable hdd = win

pd: saludos desde neuquen argentina tb :D

so did anybody manage to do this?

Howdy, Stranger!
