I just wanted to give everyone the heads up about PNY drives and the BMCC. The XLR8 480gb drives seem to have changed, but are still being sold in the same box!
I've been buying 480GB PNY XLR8 drives from Frys (in LA), which are on the official list:
PNY XLR8 480GB (SSD9SC480GMDA-RB)
And also here is their official site:
https://www.pny.com/XLR8_SSD?sku=SSD9SC480GMDA-RB**HOWEVER** the drives they now sell as PNY XLR8 still have the same code on the outside of the box (SSD9SC480GMDA-RB) but the INTERNAL code has changed. Very strange. I checked to make sure, and this was an unopened box and the others are the same apparently, according to the Frys guy who I got to go and open more boxes.

The serial / code for these new SSDs (on the back of the drive itself) are:
SSD7SC480GLC-XLR
There is only ONE 480gb XLR8 drive that PNY sells, according to their website. So I guess they have just changed the coding? But the firmware also has changed - it now says "REV 6.0.0" whereas the old drives said "5.2.4". So who knows if it will work with BMCC raw?
Anyway, just wanted to share as techncially this drive is not on the BMCC approved list, and I didn't want anyone shooting anything without checking.
