SpeedDrive
The PIX-E5 writes Apple ProRes video les to SpeedDrive™ media. The Speed-
Drive is a portable enclosure for a Mini-SATA (mSATA) drive with a USB 3.0
interface. The SpeedDrive ships with a 240GB mSATA drive installed or as an
enclosure only.
ProRes 4k video recording produces an extremely high data rate which produces
quite a bit of heat no matter what recording medium. The SpeedDrive enclosure
is expressly designed to wick the heat away from the SSD via its thermally con-
ductive gap-pad and heat sink. Though the SpeedDrive can be very warm to the
touch, this is by design to keep the SSD as cool as possible.

To attach a SpeedDrive to the monitor:
1. Place the SpeedDrive so that the USB plug lines up to the
USB connector on the back of the monitor.
2. Depress the spring-loaded retainer clip, located at the
back edge of the monitor’s top panel. Only one of two
clips is used to hold the SpeedDrive, and it is labeled
SSD.
3. Slide the SpeedDrive into the USB connector.
