Or you just record to DNxHD direct in the Hyperdeck. Save a lot of space in the process. The file will just open up in the timeline in Vegas as long as you have installed the Avid codecs. Otherwise you are adding additional steps/time/storage space - which unless you are really attached to having uncompressed hanging around you likely won't miss. The 220Mbps DNxHD file is (for me anyway) overkill for most everything I get up to anyway... wish BMD would implement an even more compressed option.
Remember that currently you have to use Macdrive ($49) or equivalent to be able to format the drives and to read them in a PC. When the ExFAT compatability is implemented (sometime in September) you'll be able to access/format the drives in a PC without MacDrive.
I use an external USB3 unit from Startech.
