But please let us know. I also found this interesting as it frees up the 12G SDI ports in the back. Great for livestream
MSATA seems to need less power than a full SSD (I think it's 3 volts vs 5 volts), and the CFast adapter provides enough power for the MSATA.
I like the Solidpod design and the fact that it can use two MSATA drives so you can off-load one with the DIT without stopping the shoot.
It's still expensive - What's the cost/benefit compared to just CFast cards?
Sandisk Extreme Pro 512 CFast - $999
SolidPod: $399
Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB MSATA: $259 (x2)
SolidPod Reader: $189
Total: $1086
So for just a touch more than a 512 CFast card, you get 2TB and the ability to off-load with a DIT mid-shoot.
Add another $399 if you want two SolidPods for uncompressed 60p.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
