Which SSD to use?

PostFri Oct 31, 2014 1:57 am

Hello,

I will be shooting with the Blackmagic 4K and I'm wondering which SSD you have had success with. I will be shooting in ProRes. I was thinking of using Digistor or Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Are there others that have worked successfully?

Here's the link for the SSDs others have reported use on as well as a link to the ones we have tested internally.

I personally own 2 INTEL 530 240gb ssds and 1 SanDisk Extreme Pro 480gb ssd. I record in all formats on my BMPC4K and haven't had any issues or dropped frames.

I'm using two ADATA XPG SX900 of 512GB each.
They work just fine. :)
I've ever had any dropped frames and the SSD's are about the cheapest out there.
