All the reviewers before me are completely correct. This device would score a perfect 5 Stars from me if it weren't for the lack of battery and charger. You are basically paying Sony $1,500 for a harddrive. Sony couldn't even including a batter in the box or a charger cable. This is how you alienate customers. The RED ONE by Oakley will be dropping in price and this may be the last time I buy a Sony product. WE ARE CUSTOMERS not your own CASH MACHINE Sony.

I was very excited when i purchased this hard disk recordingunit because running up and downstairs to my computerwithout the camera sounded appealing for transferringfootage. BUT the cable did not interface with my Mac and Ihad to drive to 2 stores to find a compatible firewirecable. Then I did a test shoot and found that it wouldn'topen in FCP. How stupid is that!!! The premiere videoediting software and SONY didn't think to create a formatthat would be compatible? What a waste of time and money.I'm so disappointed.

Purchased this item in conjuction with the Sony V1U HDV camera, in hopes of speeding up capture and logging process via direct transfer of files to our editing system. This device has a great feature which allows the operator to automatically record (using sync mode) to tape and data simultaneously. Other positives include the 4+ hours of record time, and relative easy of setup. A large battery will be needed, making the camera heavier. Two problems arose during my use of this product:
1) If you are using Final Cut Pro, the .m2t files created by the hard drive will not read natively. Therefore, a secondary process of converting the files to quicktime is required. This, unfortunately, can take longer than just capturing from tape (depending on the speed of your machine), virtually canceling any workflow speed benefits.
2) For no apparent reason, certain shots did not record to the drive. I found these shots were on tape (i was shooting sync mode) but could not locate the files on the
