Some insight into SSDs in the Edge, at least the ones I am using. I purchased the kinemag nano shells because I already have some 1tb 970 plus drives laying around. One was in my editing computer for 2 years. Interestingly enough, that one outperformed an unopened drive I had…
Recording 8k40 OG, on the old PC SSD everything worked right up until the end - no slowdowns or recording stops. However, the last clip (which “rolled out” if you will) was aprox 4 minutes long was not saved to the ssd. The audio files were and some metadata too, but the video file and .bmp preview were corrupted (despite taking up disk space). Is this normal? I threw in another card and started again, curious as to what would happen if I stopped the recording just before the card filled up 100%. From the start the next card, same model of ssd, would record only 2 minutes at a time before stopping. Eventually record time dropped to around 10 seconds before cutting off. On those stops the video file did save though. I throttled down to 8k 24 and everything has been good so far.
For me this performance is not an issue, but we will see how they fare over time. I don’t plan on shooting 8k 40 (rarely in 8k), if you are, definetly go for the official Kinemag Nano (or maybe faster SSD). The 8k 24p works great without slowdowns right until the end. Still will not save the video file if you run the card completely out of storage though - at least in 8k 24/40. I don’t plan on testing further, running a card until the very end isn’t in my workflow.
