Hi all, Tony Dae.
ERROR HAS BEEN FIXED WITH 6.1 UPDATE.
I have been seeing many people complaining about connectivity issues with their SSD's and the BMPCC4K. Here is a workaround you can use to deal with the problem until BMD fixes it in a software update. The one I am using is the 500GB Samsung T5.
To be clear: this, to me, is a huge QA oversight by BMD. This would not be as big of a bug if it were some terrible quality off-brand hard drive made by a company nobody has ever heard of. This is the hard drive that is in the BMD marketing materials regarding using a usb-c drive as storage and is in their approved list.
BMD,
Please fix this in a firmware update. I do not understand how this slipped by QA and I do think that it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. I am not angry about it; the product for the most part is excellent and impossible to even compare with other competitors at the price point. I think it is disappointing however and a bit ridiculous that I made sure I was buying the same stuff used in marketing materials, went by the approved list, and the thing still doesn't work properly. Not only that, but I have not seen much said from BMD regarding this issue and possible workarounds or fixes in the works for customers so that they can use their equipment. Please help your customers out here.
