About SSDs

Choosing a Fast SSD

When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the SSD you would like to use.

This is because some SSDs can have up to 50% lower write speed than the manufacturer’s claimed speed,

so even though the disk specifications claim an SSD is fast enough to handle video, in reality the disk is

not fast enough for real time video recording. Hidden data compression mostly affects recording and

often these disks can still be used for real time playback.

In our testing, we have found larger newer models of SSD and larger capacity SSDs are generally faster.

SSDs recommended for use with HyperDeck for uncompressed 10 Bit HD and ProRes Ultra HD 4K video

recording include:

 Digistor – 128GB SSD Professional Video Extreme

 Digistor – 240GB SSD Professional Video Series

 Digistor – 480GB SSD Professional Video Series

 Intel 335 Series 240GB SSD

 OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD

 PNY 240GB Prevail SSD (firmware 5.0.2)

 Sandisk Extreme 480GB

Please check the tech notes on the Blackmagic Design website for the latest information.

If you find an SSD that isn’t fast enough for uncompressed HD video or Ultra HD 4K, try a faster SSD or

use HyperDeck Utility to switch to a compressed recording format such as ProRes or DNxHD. These

recording formats have a much lower data rate and are easier for the SSD to handle.
