Just wanted to check on this. I have tried to find the answer but no luck so far. Hoping you can help!
In the BMD list of recommended drives, they say "G-DRIVE Mobile SSD 1TB" for Pocket 4k.
Looking at the Western Digital website in the UK (who I believe make G-Drives), there is both a "G-Drive Mobile SSD" and Just "G-Drive SSD".
The Mobile SSD is rated up to 560MB/s, and the SS is rated to 1000MB/s.
Then on the Western Digital US website, they don't even list the Mobile 560MB/s SSD. They only have the 1000MB/s SSD. So I wonder if BM are talking about that.
The point of the above is... should I be getting the 560MB/s Mobile SSD (which would be my guess if I want to follow BM recommendations word-for-word), or the 1000MB/s, which has much higher specs (and I could also pick up from USA when I am next there for significantly cheaper than the UK one!), which could help with editing directly from the drive and future-proofing.
And, also, if I do get the 1000MB/s, do you think it would be safe going for over 1TB?
Really, I just want to know it works. But if I can get the faster drive from the US for significantly cheaper, and that will also definitely work, then I will go for that.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
