Hi Billy,
it depends on the quality of the image and what the sensor needs to capture. It happens with very bright and detailed images that faster write speeds are needed to capture the data.
The Samsung 860 EVO usually manages a real and sustained write speed of 470 MB/s.
I have had pretty good experiences with the Samsung T7 2TB versus the 4TB Samsung 860, which I actually only use on the 6k now.
While many users rant about the Samsung T7, I can't find any problems.
For the T7, it's best to use a small Velcro surface on the camera body. Order it on Amazon and try it out and if it doesn't work, send it back, but I think you'll get much better results.
If all else fails, you'll have to work with CF cards in dual mode, which are super fast in this mode and can handle almost everything, or you'll have to go for a U2 SSD, but that's very expensive to buy.
Cheers, Nico.
BTW.
Please also check the USB-C cable from BM that connects to the SSD-Recorder, which breaks very quickly. I had already received the third cable from BM as a replacement, but have now used a very short Thunderbolt cable, since then everything runs perfectly. I have the feeling that the Thunderbolt cables are more reliable in data throughput. But that's just a feeling, no prove.
