AngelBird AtomX 4K Raw SSD
Professional 4K RAW Video Storage Solution
The AngelBird AtomX 4K Raw SSD is a high-performance solid-state drive specifically designed for professional filmmakers and content creators working with demanding 4K RAW video workflows. Engineered to deliver exceptional speed, reliability, and durability, this SSD is an ideal companion for Atomos recorders such as the Sumo 19, Shogun series, and Ninja series, supporting formats like ProRes RAW, CDNG RAW, and high-bitrate 4K recording at 30 frames per second.
Purpose-Built for 4K RAW Workflows
Developed exclusively for AtomX 4K RAW workflows, the AngelBird AtomX 4K Raw SSD ensures smooth and uninterrupted recording of high frame rate 4K video in ProRes RAW and CDNG RAW formats. With a sustained write speed of up to 520 MB/s, the SSD can handle continuous data streams without frame drops or video interruptions, which is critical for professional production quality.
Speed and Performance
The SSD delivers sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s. It maintains a sustained write rate of approximately 500 MB/s during intensive recording sessions, providing the bandwidth needed to capture large, uncompressed RAW files seamlessly. This performance minimizes latency and buffer issues typically encountered in high-bitrate video recording.
Robust and Durable Design
Housed in a CNC-machined aluminum case, the AtomX 4K Raw SSD offers excellent durability and efficient heat dissipation, preventing thermal throttling during extended shoots. The solid build protects the drive against physical impacts, making it suitable for rigorous on-location shooting environments.
Advanced features such as host power loss protection safeguard data integrity by ensuring that in-progress recordings are saved properly if power is suddenly cut off, reducing the risk of file corruption.
Compatibility and Convenience
The AtomX 4K Raw SSD is designed to seamlessly integrate with Atomos Master Caddy systems, including popular recorders like the Sumo 19, Shogun Studio, Shogun Inferno, and Ninja series. Its unified caddy and SSD design allow it to be inserted directly without additional assembly, facilitating simple and quick media swaps during shoots.
