When shooting prores I can offload an entire 240gb drive in about 35-40 minutes, which happens to be the same amount those drives hold doing 4k prores
Yes. So you're getting around 102MB/s then. I peak at 120, but on average it's slower. When I use a Seagate mount, I get a sustained 120. The dock in the link promises faster speeds by 3 or 4 times. I'd settle for 2.
The issue is, filling up a 240 on the BMPC 4k takes only ~15 minutes of shooting. Add in the setup and framing and direction and you get ~40-60 minutes per mag before DIT needs to have the previous one cleared. So DIT is always just copying data. No time to do anything else.
