Professional video recorders that capture ProRes or DNxHD video on solid state disks (SSDs) are compelling products these days, because of how much they speed up post workflows (skipping conversions) and also because of their increasing affordability. Although workflows and specific needs differ from case to case, whether you’re shooting only on a solid state video recorder like the Atomos Ninja/Shotgun Flame/Samurai Blade or Blackmagic Design Hyperdeck as a backup or a primary recording method via HDMI or HDSDI, the one thing you’ll definitely need is great solid state recording media. Here’s our roundup of 2.5 inch SSDs to use with these professional video recorders. (Related:Best HDMI & SDI External Video Field Recorders for Pro Cameras)

It is rated slightly faster than the SanDisk Extreme Pro at 520MB/s rather than 515, and comes in more size options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and even a new 2TB option.

Factors to consider when choosing an SSD for an external HDMI or HDSDI video recorder
Ninja Assassin 2 The Movie
The Size of the SSD: This isn’t a clear cut argument in favor of larger SSDs– there’s an old DP maxim that the larger the recording medium (be it tape, memory card or SSD), the more data that gets lost if something goes wrong. In other words, if there’s an equipment failure it’d be better to only lose 30 minutes of footage on a smaller SSD rather than an entire day’s worth of footage on a giant one. On the other hand, if you’re recording at a particularly high data rate, you might decide you want the largest disk you can get. And of course there’s other reasons to go big, like if you need to capture an uninterrupted event over a span of several hours, or if you’re using it as a backup while also recording internally on your camera’s memory cards as well.
The Cost of the SSD: If you only have a limited budget, you’ll have to choose wisely how to spend it. Even though these are all fairly reliable drives, we’d probably rather get two smaller SSDs instead of only one giant SSD.
The Write-speed of the SSD: Not all SSDs are created equal. And even among two SSDs that have the same listed write speed, the performance of one may not be the same as the other. For instance, SanDisk confusingly makes both Ultra II SSDs and Extreme Pro SSDs that are rated for 515mb/s write speed, though the Extreme Pro performs more reliably and faster in a real world environment. Samsung has a similar gap between its consumer-focused 850 Evo SSD line and its 850 Pro line (the Pro lineup has faster write speeds and is predicted to last longer over time and be more reliable, though it’s slightly more expensive).
How will I know if the SSD I’m considering will work with my recorder? Blackmagic publishes a list of hard disks that work with its Hyperdeck recorders, as does Atomos.

Mini Ninjas is a 2009 action-adventure game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360.[3] A Mac OS X version of the game was released on July 8, 2010, by Feral Interactive.[1] In December 2011, it was announced that the game will be also made available as a browser game for Google Chrome.[4]
A Kinect/Xbox Live Arcade spin-off game Mini Ninjas Adventures followed in 2012. Another Mini Ninjas spin-off game, an endless runner titled Mini Ninjas Mobile, has been released for iOS and Androidsmartphones and tablets in March 2013.
A Shield Android TV port was released in 2017.
Gameplay[edit]
Mini Ninjas is a linear third-person action-adventure game. It features six playable Mini Ninja characters, each with their own unique abilities, weapons and skills. Players can collect special weapons, including caltrops, shuriken, different bombs and fishing rods, and a multi-functional ninja hat, as well as a variety of potions and food items. The main protagonist, Hiro, can cast spells, including fireball and lighting attacks, camouflage, and time manipulation. Hiro can also possess spirits, such as animals, for a short period of time. Spells are cast using Ki, which is dropped by enemies and can be replenished with potions.
The enemies in Mini Ninjas are animals enchanted by the main antagonist, turning them into samurai warriors. When defeated, the curse is broken and the enemies return to their previous animal form, and can assist the player. For example, brown bears can attack with their claws, warthogs charge at enemies, and panda bears can slam into the ground. All animals have a keen sense of smell for spotting ingredients and collectibles in places that are easily overlooked. Other enemies in the game include ghosts, which approach the player and attempt to drain their life force.
Throughout their journey, players can collect coins and ingredients, such as mushrooms, flowers, and ginseng roots. They can exchange these coins for weapons and recipes from the Tengu, crow-like humanoids who also give quests and advice. Fruits found on trees or bushes can be harvested by shaking the bushes or the trunk of trees, which will restore their health. Other foods like sushi do the same thing.
Scattered throughout the world are ancient shrines, each containing a scroll that grants Hiro a new spell. There are also 100 Jizo statues hidden throughout the game, which can be collected for special achievements or trophies.
Plot[edit]
In ancient Japan, an era of peace of harmony has existed ever since the evil samurai warlord Ashida was defeated at the hand of a wise ninja master. In the wake of Ashida's defeat, the ninja master hid the secrets of Kuji magic, which grants one power over nature, in various scrolls contained in shrines across the wilderness. Three centuries later, at Ninja Mountain, the ninja master has trained six orphans in the way of the ninja with the aid of the mountain's tengu inhabitants. The youngest of these ninjas, Hiro, possesses the power to control Kuji magic. Hiro lives on the mountain in peace alongside his friends - clumsy but strong Futo, flute-playing Suzume, archer Shun, tiger-like Tora, and spear-wielding Kunoichi.
The long-lasting peace begins to slowly erode when mysterious events begin to occur across the countryside, including the disappearance of animals and sightings of armored samurai in the wilderness. The ninja master eventually learns that Ashida has returned, and is using Kuji magic to convert forest animals into deadly samurai warriors. The ninja master sends Kunoichi, Tora, Shun, and Suzume to investigate Ashida's army, but all are captured behind enemy lines. Reluctantly, the ninja master then sends out his last ninjas, Hiro and Futo, after teaching Hiro how to learn Kuji spells from the hidden shrines across the country. Hiro and Futo rescue Suzume from the samurai and infiltrate the Earth Castle, where they defeat an enormous samurai boss; subsequently, the castle explodes, and Ashida becomes aware of the existence of the new ninjas.
Hiro and his allies continue to push through the wilderness, encountering many dangers, including new varieties of samurai with unique powers, as well as tortured spirits which try to steal their life force. Along the way, they find and rescue Shun, Tora, and Kunoichi from the clutches of the samurai. The ninjas reach the Night Castle and defeat its boss, subsequently doing the same for the Water Castle and the Snow Castle. An outraged Ashida taunts the ninjas to come face him at his fortress, located atop a volcano. The ninjas reach Ashida's castle, which he animates using Kuji, turning it into an enormous monstrosity. The ninjas are able to infiltrate the castle, where Hiro confronts and defeats Ashida, who falls to his death in the volcano. Peace restored in the land, the ninjas return triumphantly to Ninja Mountain.
