Media
Which drives should you use?
There are quite a large number of drives available on the market, and newer models
appear all the time. To avoid potential data loss and/or write/read errors, ATOMOS only
recommends the use of AtomX SSDmini and approved SSD media only. For the most up-
to-date information on compatible drives, please visit: www.atomos.com/drives
Solid State Drives (SSDs)
Widely available 2.5” SSDs are the basic storage media for ATOMOS Monitor Recorders.
We work closely with leading drive manufacturers to qualify as many options as possible.
Before using these drives, they need to be mounted in the Master Caddy II. For more

AtomX SSDmini
ATOMOS has teamed with the world’s leading media manufacturers to design SSD media
that is better suited to our ever evolving Monitor Recorders. The AtomX SSDmini is a little
over 1/4 inch tall and 3” long. These tiny, slimline SSDs are a true innovation by our close
drive partners Nextorage and Angelbird. It is also 20% shorter than traditional SSDs, yet
keeps the standard SATA III connector.
