From page 26 of the BMCC Manual:
Recommended SSDs for RAW Recording
SSD’s recommended for use with Blackmagic Cinema Camera and RAW 2.5K video recording include:
Crucial 256GB C300
Crucial 512GB M4 (firmware 009)
Kingston 64GB SSDNow V+100
Kingston 128GB SSDNow V+100
Kingston 240GB SSDNow V+200
Kingston HyperX 240GB
Sandisk Extreme 480GB.
That was the latest list as of August 2012. Based on forum comments from people using the BMCC, there have been problems with most of these SSDs. I would recommend the Sandisk Extreme but remember to format the SSD after each time you have copied your precious data to other drives so the BMCC will always see the drive as empty. Do not format with any erase, just simple quick format, as you do not want to cause the the SSD internal controller to exercise the cells more than necessary.
One day there will be a new list of approved drives updated on the BMD Support BMCC FAQ website, but there may be a greater chance of a certain very hot place freezing over first!
