Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K (PL) - Manual (Page 27)

To remove an SSD:
Open URSA Mini SSD Recorder’s cover and gently grasp the drive between your thumb and
forefinger. There’s a small recess in the top of the bay to let you get a grip on the drive. Simply
pull the drive out and close the cover.
NOTE Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder occupies the second storage slot in
URSA Mini’s operating system. This means that, while URSA Mini SSD Recorder is
connected and a compatible SSD is inserted, your camera’s second CFast 2.0 and
SD card slot will be unavailable.
To use these slots instead, disconnect the SSD Recorder SDI connection from
URSA Mini. There is no need to remove the SSD Recorder itself from your camera.
For more information, see the the section ‘Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder’ in
this manual.

vital to ensuring that you have enough bandwidth to record 4.6K Blackmagic RAW or Ultra HD
footage. Many SSDs are designed for home computing and aren’t fast enough to record Ultra
HD video.
