Hyperdeck Shuttle and new SSD (aka OCZ Vertex 4)

[Jose Lomeña]

I can’t believe this. The fastest ssd in the market and is not supported?

I have 2x128gb vertex4 and 2x 256gb vertex4. With firmware 1.4 and 1.5 beta. Can’t record more than 10 second without drops.

I have shuttle 2 and hyperdeck studio. Both with the same drop problem.

When i tested with Blackmagic speed test, the numbers are really high!. Where is the problem?. Will it be fixed in a new update?, or i must search other slower media?

I just tried the 256G Vertex4 with the Hyperdeck with last firmware and ProRes recording, and I was able to record a one minute clip.
I’ll have more tests soon, but maybe the bandwidth drop when recording ProRes is enough to make this SSD drive working.

Been bitten by the same problems

Bought 6 OCZ Vector units for two Hyperdecks
Drives installed in HP workstation for testing – BMD speed test suggest 250 MByte / second write.

Sometimes work perfectly in the Hyperdeck ( only ever in slot 2, never in Slot 1 ) recording 1080I25 full res, sometimes, more often, they don’t even register.

A reformat ( Quick ) into exFat ( via Win 7 ) usually cures this but I cannot hand over equipment to my customer like this, and now wasted too much time.

Flashed Firmware in drives to OCX Ver 2 – no difference ( Mar 13 ).

So OCZ Vector Drives do not seem to work in Hyperdecks ( SW V 3.7 )
