Configurable as either a top or side handle, this space gray PRO-BLADE SSD Recording Handle from Kondor Blue mounts onto your cinema or mirrorless camera and allows you to mount and record media to your SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag. Read and write media onto the SSD with the built-in USB-C port, using the included 12" right-angle USB-C to straight USB-C cable. The handle includes a rotatable NATO rail clamp to facilitate side or top orientation mounting. Additional 1/4"-20 ARRI threads and a cold shoe mount accommodate other accessories like external monitors or shotgun microphones. Cross-hatching on the side, a diamond plate, and finger cutouts make for an ergonomic design.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If I can format the bade to FAT32, will it work inserted into a SanDisk Project drive formatted APSF?

A: Yes, the SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-BLADE SSD Mag, (B&H # SAPB2TB), would work inserted into a SanDisk Project Drive even if it's a different format than the SanDisk Professional Project Drive. In that scenario, the Project drive is simply acting as a hub/reader.

Q: 2. I assume that since this mounts each blade as a single drive (rather than as RAID might), this is fully compatible with Apple M1 chips? Is that a correct assumption?

A: Yes, that is correct. Each SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-BLADE SSD MAG will function as a separate unit. Even if you purchased the multi bay unit, the array will work as JBOD for maximum swapability.

Q: 3. Will I get 40gbps on my M1 Max MacBook using this with the Blade Station? This device stated 20GB/s, but the station claims 40GB/s.

Q: 8. This is one SSD recommended by BMD for Ursa G2 Broadcast. What other accessories do I need to use it with that camera?
