I'm a hardware guy and have been messing around with raw video. I'm thinking it wouldn't be all that or expensive to stick a small FPGA between the SD port and an SD card bank (maybe 4 cards) to allow some redundant and/or parallel speeds for recording with slower cards.
So, basically, the fpga would be connected to a dummy SD card. It would split the data between the sd card ports (depending on the number of cards inserted), reducing the required bandwidth for each card. The split data would be rejoined into files on your computer.
The FPGA alone would be around $30, buffer memory quite a bit less, so I'm thinking no more than $100 for the final product (most likely molded epoxy case).
This wouldn't benefit sd controller limited cameras like the 600D, but it might be useful for other cameras, and allow you to use cheaper high density cards.
This will be for an incredibly niche market, but does this interest anyone?
