Capturing 6K Blackmagic RAW footage is a data-hungry endeavor that can choke inferior drives. I’ve seen too many shoots ruined by “dropped frame” indicators because the SSD couldn’t keep up with the BMPCC 6K Pro’s massive bitrates. To help you avoid that heartbreak, I’ve rigorously tested the leading drives for sustained write performance. While many…
