yeah don't need anything that big or requiring that much power. Just want a couple of 1 or 2tb mini boxes which I can pull out for a shoot, drop footage on really quickly whilst on location, then put away in a box again until their needed for the next shoot.

Just grabbing the ones on my desk...
I think the g-tech ones on the left are all 1TB, the sandsisks are 2tb or 4tb, got 8*4, 12*2. So basically have probably already spent the same as that stupid thunderblade thing already. If you want the g-techs (r-series) I'm not really using them... Would have to check whatever is on them is safely in all the backups but I haven't used them for probably 18 months so imagine all good. I may have more g-techs somewhere but not sure. I was using their g-studio ev cartridges before that so think I only got a handful of r-series before moving to SanDisk. (I know people shit on the sandsisks for being allegedly prone to failure but I've never had a single issue with 20 drives in regular use so will keep using those for now).
CYOA
I've wanted that thing for about 4 years but @ectoplasmosis has advised against it many times so I feel it must be for a reason. But it's such a nice thing... Only drawback from my perspective is barrel DC in. I'd prefer something lockable for starters and ideally that could run from v-mount (which I suspect could be adapted as long as you had a few cued up on hot swap).
