FS5: Sony FS5 with Atomos Shogun Inferno and ProRes RAW SSDS

Michael Erlewine

Well-known member
I am confused as to exactly which SSD will work with the Atomos shogun Inferno with ProRes RAW. I know that Atomos gives a list, but no model numbers, so I am afraid that I will get the wrong SSDs.

Which ones will work with raw 30p cDNG raw?

Help would be appreciated.

Another question: Can I work with ProRes RAW with the Inferno and on the PC, edit, etc. but not able to output it. But I can I work, edit, and see it in Adobe Premiere Pro?
 
They do not list any that were either tested or failed for CDNG on their website. See below...

However....

I have FS5 + Raw Update + Shogun Inferno

I only use 2 types of drives and I have been able to record CDNG Raw on both. The key is the write speed (must have 500mb/s +) and having the drive be fast enough to store the output of the camera in CDNG.

I recommend these two and am 99% sure they will work

G-Technology Master Caddy 4k (1tb or 512gb).

OR

Angelbird Atomos 4K Raw (1tb or 500gb)

Get the master caddy as they are half the price and I have 3 of them that have all worked well.

Thanks. I do question whether the G-Technology Caddy 4K (above link) will work with raw. To be double sure, I have opted for the:

G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.1 Gen 1 SSD
