Are you using the regular Hyperdeck Studio (rackmount) or a smaller version like the Hyperdeck Shuttle?
The rack-mount versions all have regular HD-SDI inputs, and can take an input from the 2M/E directly. You do however need to press the Input-button to change from HDMI to SDI on startup.
Basicly any decent, modern SSD will work, especially if you can use ProRes 422-codecs or similar. What you need to look for is sustained sequential writing speed - a decent regular 2.5" SSD will give you 400-500MB/s write speed, which is more than enough to record. I use 240GB Kingston SSDs, and some 120GB disks as well, and can record several hours of footage. The KC400 240GB disk will cost you about $130, and is more than good enough.
I prefer using several 120/240GB disks rather than one huge 1TB disk, so that offloading goes quicker, and I can empty and prep disks while one is recording.
