We have a HyperDeck Studio (don't really use it that much....) so
I tried a couple of HDD I had laying around.
An ancient 80GB sata was not recognized. Perhaps because it was
only a 1.5gbps unit?
Then tried a practically full WD Scorpio Blue 3.0gbps drive. It
was recognized, and recorded. With an SSD, the HyperDeck has
instant response when you hit REC. With the HDD, there was a good
1 second delay before recording started.
But twice during about 15 minutes of testing, it triggered
dropped frames errors.
Testing the disk later on esata with AJA System Test, even mostly
full it clocked in 69MB/s write speeds. /Should/ be plenty for
DNxHD 220 (27MB/s?) -- but it choked. There are now 2.5" drives
that I've seen benchmarks reports of over 90MB/s writes. Maybe
they would work??? Not sure I would be willing to risk it on
anything important, though.
FWIW!
