Seriously.
Why can't we be allowed to use our own SSd for this feature if the write speeds met the requirement? Please tell me that there's an update to make this possible in the future, because that is such a huge disappointment to me. We're already spending a minimum of $7100 on this device and you want us to drop another thousand dollarson the SSD and mount?

I'd rather record to my Atomos Ninja, which I'd hate becuase then I'd lose a lot of the focus features.

I really, really think DJI needs to consider how anti-consumer this decision feels.

+1.  DJI needs to listen to this.

Hello there griffdude13. Good day and thank you for sharing your valued insights with regards to this matter. I will cascade these information to the designated DJI department for further attention. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi there, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Just to clarify, this is related to the writing and reading speed of the medium, other mediums may not meet the requirement. Hope for your understanding.

Ok, tell me about Cfexpress?
This card meets and far exceeds the requirements of your proprietary SSD, but apparently you have limited that to support your SSD as well. On the other hand, the PRO SSD relies on the CFexpress adapter to be able to use it. I think this kind of senseless limitation is not beneficial after you also take off the ProRes Raw.

Yes, but if we connect an SSD who have the Writing speed requirement, It will be very nice to unlock the restriction. Please, it's a huge pain to use only the DJI Pro SSD...

I know that is to "force" the user to buy the DJI SSD, but honestly it is way too expensive.

Really, locking ProRes seems like a move that RED might do. DJI I think you can do better than RED.. Please make ProRes available to write to Samsung T5/T7.

Completely agree. If you want us to buy your SSD, drop the price or leave us use fast other SSD.

Agreed. Don't put a software limitation on my $8000 device that I own. If I plug in an SSD with the appropriate speeds, let me record whatever I want. Make your customer's happy so we'll continue to be customers.

Please DJI make us love this camera, please!, DJI you have a great opportunity to build a community, and make this camera Iconic in the film industry, please don't push people away, Cheers Friends

But I don’t understand. Why can’t we use a third-party SSD if it meets the requirements for Pro Res? It should be allowed if we already have fast enough SSDs.

you can.
you have to take apart the housing and drop your own SSD in there... (and if it really is fast enough then the chip they put in the connector tells your device that it's ok)

this works for both the inspire 2 SSD housing and the 4D housing.

problem is... you have to buy at least one for that trick to work...
