2.5″ Hard Disks (HDD) And Solid State Drive (SSD)
コンパチ情報について(英文)
When using spinning drives (HDD), you need to be careful whilst recording. The drives will generally stand light/medium occasional bumps without problems, to aid your recording the Ninja/Samurai has an anti-shock buffer. However, spinning drives are not suitable for use in high vibration or movement environments, for example if the Ninja/Samurai is strapped to the side of a motor bike or other moving machinery.
Please follow our best Practice guide for HDD’s here:
- Use a new drive, or one that has very little usage.
- Always format your HDD in the Atomos product
- Do not use old drives.
- Do not use drives that have been dropped.
On all drives, when handling, keep fingers away from the SATA connector at all times, as static electricity can damage the electronics inside.
