Data Management
REDMAG 1.8″ SSDs can be read by a laptop via a RED STATION REDMAG 1.8″ (eSATA, FW800) or RED STATION REDMAG 1.8″ MINI (USB3.0, FW800).
For copying your valuable recorded material we always recommend to use software like YoYottaID or ShotPut Pro that will help copy files to one or several destinations and perform a checksum calculation, comparing the material on the original media to the copies, to provide a minimum effort safety check of data integrity.
