![]() ![]() ![]() I paid more money for the Digistor drives than I would have paid for SanDisk drives of comparable space because they were recommended specifically by Blackmagic on their website and in the forums (granted not for 4K RAW). Shouldn’t this function have been tested fully before marketing it to me as a capability of the camera I’m purchasing? Withholding information or simply not listing it because you haven’t tested the 4K RAW, but you are telling me as a consumer that the camera is capable of shooting 4K RAW, is disingenuous to say the least. If I’m unable to make an informed decision on a function a manufacturer is marketing to me as a main selling point because they are “careful enough not to list any of the drives as recommended for 4k raw until that feature was available on the camera” it makes me feel like I was deceived as a consumer. As a professional and as a consumer, I’m careful to read any and all material I can get my hands on before making a purchase, especially one that involves a camera, which is my livelihood. "4K RAW hadn’t been tested fully before it was released yet it was being marketed as one of the main selling points of the camera. My response to this comment that I sent back: We did recommend certain drives for 4k ProRes and also for the 2.5K raw on an earlier model, one of them at the time was a digistore." I was told today by Blackmagic support that "We were careful enough not to list any of the drives as recommended for 4k raw until that feature was available on the camera. That being said, I have had no problems with ProRes recording on these drives, just when I record 4K RAW. I have tried formatting in the camera as both exFAT and HFS+ as well as Mac OS Extended on my computer, all with the same results, give or take 20sec. Apparently I was wrong in my assumption and spent the extra money needlessly. I bought these drives under the impression that Blackmagic was working with Digistor to make the best SSD possible for the BMPC 4K. They keep dropping frames in under a minute of record time. I'm a little bummed with my Digistor 480GB drives and 4K RAW.
