Reed item in box that has been opened and appears to be used

Box appears to have been previously opened with plastic tie to secure opening of box barely clinging to hair and lint. The box only contained the item itself. There is no bubble wrap to keep the item in place or paperwork inside. The item appears to be used with some minor scratch marks and fingerprints as well as some remnants. So far the item is working fine but I am disappointed that I had to pay the price of a new item for a used item.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Zero

Suitable for 4k30p maximum

Please note that this is a regular 2.5" HDD and not an SSD as recommended for use with an Atomos Ninja recorder. At around 135 MB/s this is good enough for ProRes 422HD at 4K30p but too slow for reliable 60p or ProRes HQ recording This is more than enough for 1080p60 Please consider your needs before purchasing this disc I have replaced the HD with a Samsung 860 EVO SSD and put the original drive in an inexpensive plastic Atomos case. I can always use another 1TB drive, but for video just an…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Just passed out after 3 uses.

Product stops working after a short time. I bought it in September and took it to shoot with my Ninja V today (third time with it) and it didn't read it. I put it in my dock with my new MacBook Pro and still haven't read it. It was working fine on my MacBook 2 hours before recording. I had to cancel. I hope I can recover my files that smh was on.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Quality

Items in box that have been tampered with and appear to be used

The box appeared as if it had been previously opened with plastic tape intended to protect the opening of the box, barely attached to hair and lint. The box only contained the item itself. There is no bubble wrap to keep the item in place or paperwork inside. The item appears to be used with some minor scratch marks and fingerprints as well as some remnants. So far the item is working perfectly but I am disappointed that I had to pay the price of a new item for a used item.

Pros
  • External hard drives
Cons
  • Reliability

This Master Caddy WORKS in my new Atomos Ninja Blade. Got to. It is made for Atomos products. HOWEVER, good luck removing it from the recorder. The thing is so stuck I had to use pliers to get it out. At first I thought I was doing something wrong. I've looked through the manuals of both the drive and the recorder to see if there's a procedure for extracting the container, but couldn't find anything. Then I went online and found that others had the same problem - although it was made for this…

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Available in Black only
