capitanazo Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi, im getting ready to get my bmpcc4k ready for the launch, and im decided that usb-c ssd would be my best alternative for record. now i got a chance to record with alexa mini, and some red cameras but one of the requeriments is i have is to had 1 ssd at least. so i was thinking in get some ssd and buy a case to usb-c 3.1 to have the option to use te same ssd for work with the red and alexa cameras and my bmpcc4k. so, https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-2-5-inch-Enclosure-Interface/dp/B01FWT2N4E this case can do the work? its there any other requeriment on bmpcc4k for use usb-c ssd?

webrunner5 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Every picture I see of it they are using a Samsung T5. Seems to be the way to go I guess. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GZBT36/ref=sxts_kp_bs_tr_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=hrAQW& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye! If you don't mind the size then this will be cheaper than the Samsung T5. All you need is an enclosure (lots out there so look around, as you might find cheaper & be careful, as you should be getting Read/Write speeds of about 400 min - should be over 500 if it's a good enclosure) & the Samsung SSD 860 evo (has the best TBW or lifespan), there are other brands which might be cheaper. This solution will be cheaper, but bigger than the T5 - that's why the T5 is so much more expensive. I've gone this way for external storage (also can double as hard drive to boot from), but didn't bother with an enclosure & just got a cable - a lot cheaper & faster read/write speeds than the T5 (mine gets well over 500 for R/W speeds). capitanazo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the HDD need external power. And any enclosure that needs external power will have 2 cables coming from it. I use this wire & the SSD gets powered by the computer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-2-5-Inch-Adapter-Optimized-EC-SS31/dp/B014T3JRFM/ref=sr_1_sc_2?tag=macr0e-21&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480434478&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=sabremt%2Busb3%2Bto%2Bssd&th=1 It's exactly the same as the T5, so the camera will power the SSD. Be careful of which enclosure you get, as some aren't great & actually slow down the Read/Write rates, which might mean you might not be able to record. Personally, when I get the P4K I am just going to use the SSD without an enclosure & just keep it in a jacket pocket because the SSD is already in a case. capitanazo and BopBill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas A Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I feel like on the Mk2 of this camera, they should have a slot to insert a T5 into the camera behind the (flip-out?) screen, like an SD card. How cool would that be?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
