Media
Widely available 2.5” SSDs are the basic storage media for Atomos 4K
Monitor Recorders. We work closely with leading drive manufacturers to
qualify as many options as possible. SSDs are required for 4K recording
and for more demanding production environments that may not be suited
to spinning hard disks.
We have worked closely with Angelbird and Sony to develop new media
designedspecicallyfortheAtomosNinjaVthatis100%compatible
with Shogun 7. The new AtomX SSDmini is smaller than a standard SSD,
but utilises the same SATA connection as normal HDD/SSD media and is
compatible with all Atomos recorders and docking stations.
AtomXSSDminitsdirectlyintotheShogun7diskslotwithouttheneedfor
a Master Caddy II, and can be further enhanced by the addition of AtomX
SSDmini handle to make connecting and removing the SSD effortless.
Which drives should you use?
There are so many drives available, and newer models appear all the
time. To avoid potential data loss and/or write/read errors, Atomos only
recommends the use of approved SSD media only.
We are not able to test all drives but here are some guidelines.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) are recommended for all recording up to
4kUHDp30andspecicdriveswithsustainedhighperformancewrite
speeds for 4kDCIp60.
Spinning Disk Drives (HDD) are not recommended.
HDDs are not suitable for 4K recording or for use in environments or
situations where the units are subjected to vibration and movements.
Here are some things that you should bear in mind when using
spinning disks:
• Even though spinning drives can withstand substantial shocks when
they are not in use, they are more vulnerable when running. Harsh
treatment that may not actually damage the drive may interrupt
recordings at a much lower level of severity. We recommend that you
experiment with your drives by testing them in the conditions that you
normally work in.
• Do not bang or jolt the Shogun 7 while recording.
• Do not use spinning drives (HDD) when recording 4K video

to withstand shock and to continue recording during vibration and
movement.
