Kingston 128GB SSDNow V+100 ‚
Kingston 240GB SSDNow V+200 ‚
Kingston HyperX 240GB
‚Sandisk Extreme 480GB.

C300 from Crucial its capable of 355 Mb/s but its slower than a new M4:

The Crucial 256 M4 isnt rated for DNG.
The Crucial C300 256 is hard to find since its discontinued.
Best know are Sandisk Extreme 480.
There are tons of posts on this matter.

The only consistent thing I hear is that the bigger drives are faster than the smaller.
I for one dont care as long as they can hold 15 to 20 min DNG shoots :)

This is exactly what I've just bought, with plans for getting two more when I get into serious shooting. Plus ALL the external harddrives!!!

Yes! I plans to buy 2x more, because i use bmcc for docu shot of max 3min .

But i calc: in 240gb i can store 28-30 min of DNG at 24fps, its ok?
