It comes with a locating bead structure and a built-in 1/4"-20 threaded hole so that you can either attach it to a cold shoe or use a spare screw for mounting.
It secures the cold shoe on the top left of the cage and fixes the SSD via extendable spring-loaded clamps on both sides. It's unnecessarily difficult to find out the used controller, cells, dram etc.SmallRig T5/T7 SSD Mount for BMPCC 6K PRO 3272 is Samsung T5/T7 SSD compatible and works with the BMPCC 6K PRO cage 3270. Still finding a suitable drive that does not suffer from the same plague that is TLC and QLC memory cells, that's also affordable and reliable is a fucking nightmare. Andycine makes one called Lunchbox V, and it looks really cool. There's also another option I'm looking into: You could in theory use a NVMe drive in an enclosure.
The T7 Shield on the other hand seems to not have this problem.
All in all, I find the way Samsung is advertising this drive very disappointing. I still have to test the T7 with my BMPCC 4K and see, if the firmware update really did fix the issues - All I recorded so far were small bursts in Q3. Every larger transfers will saturate the buffer and result in this mess. In the end, it could very much be, that you'd be better with the older, slower drive, than with the T7. And that is what is needed if you are about to dump a constant stream of high bit rate footage onto your drive. In comparison, the T5 only has speeds of like 550-ish MB/s (don't remember exactly) - But CONSTANT speed. Generally speaking -> less bits per cell = faster and more reliable. Single, Multi, Tripple and Quad Level Cell. SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC refer to how many bits can be stored in a memory sell. After saturating the buffer, you are stuck with much slower TLC transfer speeds, which is exactly why you have problems when offloading your media. The gist of it is as follows: The drive is only so fast, because of its buffer that uses SLC cells. In reality, the drive stole me some much-needed time when I had to transfer video files for work on a business trip and even a failure while moving files that resulted in data loss. I trusted Samsung and everyone was raving about how fast it was. The main thing that pisses me off is, that I know of the differences between the drives (SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC, DRAM/DRAM-less) but I did not bother researching this particular drive. I found out that the T7 does not have constant write speed, after I already bought my second one.
