Snapsync should work alot quicker off the hard drive than off a CF card and you can be done with the first set of temp directories by the time the second set is downloaded (6 minutes total time so far) Then, as your running your second batch of 6 card downloads, you can then be working in Snapsync on the temp directories.
But with say just 6 readers going at once, you would have 6 cards done in 3 minutes (twice that of the Ext4 combo). If that is the case, you can use your existing bank of FW readers - and even add more of the inexpensive RW019 readers from Lexar and get half the cards loading simultaneously.Īt 1/3 the speed, 2Gb cards would take 3 mins and 4Gb cards would take 6 mins. The added benefit is that you wouldn't have to spend $3600 on new Extreme4 cards when it sounds like you have plenty of storage with the 3s.Īgain, my main assumption is that you can point Snapsync to a local hard drive directory instead of a removeable drive. What I was suggesting was to work in parallel with all your cards - that way, you are not tied to the process of load one card, click, wait. And its worth spending extra money to save time. You and I both know that time is money - I won't dispute that.

In your case, I could see one to several simple batch files (assuming Windows/DOS/PC world) that could get all your images downloaded at the same time, so you can get your lab software working for you more efficiently.Īssuming removeable drives G: and data drive D: Our custom software pulls all images from all cards down to one common folder as all the images are of one team, but we can also pull images down per card, or per folder, or per card and per folder to unique directories as well as append information to file names in the process.

If you're getting inundated with multiple cards at one time: 10-16 cards at 2-4Gb capacity, and your priority is to get them dumped as soon as possible to free them up - or to just not have to wait for the serial downloading of them all - then you should look at downloading them all in parallel.Īs you know, I do this all the time - 3-9 readers at time (usually 3 per FW card) and we download 100 images per card every 2-3 minutes. Is it possible to utilize multiple card readers, simultaneously, to download images into a temporary holding place on the hard drive - then have your lab's software pick up each folder individually from there?
