If the NVMe memory in a USB-C enclosure, it will get recognised but your bottleneck is still the USB-C interface.
Thanks Kristian; however, my assessment is a little different. I see USB-C as the pipe but not what flows through it. Sure, if the BMPCC 4K comes out with USB 3.1 Gen 1 specs (5 Gbps theoretical), I totally see that being a bottleneck. But — if it comes out swinging with 3.1 Gen 2 or later... we are looking at ~10 Gbps speeds. Whereas SATA interface caps out at 6 Gbps, NVMe is based on PCIe protocols (e.g. 18 Gbps write speeds).
My point? I envision an M.2 SSD USB-C enclosure, capable of more than 6 Gbps so... if we want to push 4K60 DCI Uncompressed RAW out of the Pocket to small/inexpensive SSDs (smaller and cheaper than Samsung T5s), then why not? CFast 2 sure can’t hang at those speeds.
I can’t wait for September 3rd!
