BETTER Than The Angelbird Atom X for the Ninja V for less that HALF the cost? Andycine Lunchbox.

T7 works with this or not anyone tried?

Hi, Can I use it for my Atomos Ultra with storage taken out from Samsung T7 or with other mSata eg: ORICO mSATA Gbps 3D NAND SSD? Thanks.

I would imagine I can use a T7 here as well, right?

Nice tutorial. Thanks! Would this work with the 5,8 K 1,4 Gbps of the Lumix S5IIX and the Ninja Ultra??

Lol, you don't write 6K-8K 12bit ProresRAW HQ, right? So, you don't know why ATOMOX is expensive, right? Why do you even compare them and giving sych advices to people? Just to get some money for advert and does not care? You will get skippy problem and random stops of recording. Atomox is a server grade SSD like Samsung 860 PRO (check the price), long lasting, with high TBW and sustain write speed. Most of SATA3 SSD are 560mb/s on marketing paper, but in real life only the best and most expensive of them have constatnt speed near 500 MB/s.

yeh, and now samsung quit making 860 pro, and all you got left is sony and angelbird with their mac prices! and Atomos still using ssd? i just bought the Ninja Ultra, and found this out. Luckily i have a few 860 pro.

Thank you for making this video, this video is a gem!

Great video I know there is a newer version out, but just installed two different 2T mSATA drives and the both work. I picked up $179 mSATA SSD 2TB SHARKSPEED SATA 3 6Gb/s 3D NAND and a $119 ROGOB 2TB mSATA SSD SATA III 6Gb/s Small Form Factor from Amazon.

Great idea! However, it seems that because of the high demand for the T5 the price went up so high that now it is over $300.00! Too late!

Using some chinese crappy thermal pads instead of original ones? not the best idea

Brilliant solution, thank you Gerald.

Is there a difference using a T7 drive in this lunchbox?

Excellent,,,Superb…Presenting with all details. Thanks 🙏

will a T7 work the same?

Это не совершенный адаптер. Я использую без корпуса. Корпус как печка, нагревается. Я использую только плату мини сата. Между платой и корпусом атомос есть пространство и это даёт воздух для охлаждения.

The problem with the lunchbox is it's so limited and wasnt thought through very well. I mean a slight change to the inside and rhey coukd allow tons more iptikns but instead they limit them selves by making the fittings sp tight. Another issue is the rivits that are not flush to the casing making it incompatible with tje Connect and some cages. Then you have the problem of it being too short and heavy so that it doesnt have any support and after long use it actually starts tp javl up the connections.
I bought like 5 of them to my my 860 EVOs in that i had laying around but since i use the Atomos Connect i cant use them unless i modify them. They need to make some small changes and they would be great but as they stand now their kind of jist olay and a simple 3d printer job can and has been better for me

will the fit a Samsung 512GB 860 PRO?

WOW Geico could have saved me a lot of money!!! Thanks for posting this video.
I already hit the like and subscribed button.

Do you know if this would work with a Samsung T7?

How do you get the files off the drive into the computer usb c?

All works fine thanks.

Now they have Lunchbox version II that's even smaller and work with Samsung 860/870 SSD

is this the reason why Samsung T5 on amazon cost like 300 something now?

I MADE IT!!! WITH THIS VIDEO!!! I LOVE YOU BRUH!!!!

The angelbird drivers are harder to remove and I've even picked up some super cheap second hand and are def my go to. I don't mind the caddies, but the lunch boxes will need to be longer. Here lies the issue, when you have any of the addons like the AtomX or Connect, you wont be able to get teh drive out of the unit. I do see they have several options as well as an extension handle, but I'm not sure it's still long enough to get out. Nice to have options though!

DOESNT WORK WITH THE T7 BECAUSE IT DOESNT HAVE M.2 SSD INSIDE , its all built in on one chip , i learnt the hard way :(((

is it possible to do the same thing using Samsung T7?

I tried this procedure following you step by step! Thank you for this!!!!

How many minutes of record time do you get on average with various raw settings?

It does look really nice on the Ninja.... but, hear me out...

As ugly as the stock sled looks... it protects the HDMI ports on the just in case the camera takes a tumble or something hits the mount (sports, stunts in production, accidental dropping etc) . From the very first time I have seen these field monitors I realized that... and every time I have heard someone say they "didn't like how it hangs over", I've always every time said its to protect the cable ends and the ports....

Maybe I'm overthinking this, or maybe Atomos made a functional design choice!

Hi! Does this work with T7 too?

It looks better too

This looks really nice, although if the drive in the Samsung T5 is truly a standard M.2 2230 drive, the only physical incompatibility is the screws to keep the drive laying flat. In the T5, the drive has 2 small screws in the corners. It looked like the motherboard for the Andycine Lunchbox does not have a screw hole for a standard 2230 (center screw). That's a bit of a shame, a nylon locking pin would make for a toolless drive installation. The process to transfer the drive isn't too complicated, but it would be nice to just pick up the M.2 drive directly. That said, there aren't any speed concerns with M.2 drives since they are far faster than the SATA 3 interface that the Lunchbox provides.

Yup. I have two. About to build a third

Will it work with Samsung T7 drives?

woah, i might try this

...but the fitment is shit. Not a nice snug fit, not even close.

dude, you are way too hard on yourself. This was a great demonstration on how to do it. Learned a lot. thanks.

Hi. Would any M2 sata work?
Thanks

it is hard to get the samsung t5 these days. does the samsung t7 work?

I don't really see the problem with the Atomos 2.5" SSD caddy. It doesn't stick out any farther than the HDMI connector and actually provides a bit of physical protection for that connector.

Hi Gerald, I just installed my drive into my ninja. It works flawlessly, however, it doesn’t feel that snugged in. It feels a bit loose even though how hard I tried pushing it in. All the pins/ports are aligned. Does your feel that way? Thx.

Do not get a Dogfish Technology drive for this. I bought one in July 2022, they changed their name later to Sharkspeed. Bought because I watched another video where the guy said any old drive would work. I installed and formatted the drive. Recorded a two minute video in 6k prores raw. Video was fine. Got to my shoot and halfway across the country and good ole Skippy was showing up on my monitor. The monitor freaked out and started recording endless 1 sec clips. When I could record more than 1 second the image was grainy and jittery. Had to do my shoot on cards. Got back and ordered the lunchbox ii w/ Samsung 870 Evo. Works flawlessly. Went back and ordered a Samsung T5 for original lunchbox. Moral of the story, use Samsung drives, the budget drives from Amazon may say they have the same write speed as Samsung drives, but in practice they do not. I'm outside the 30 day return window and trying to return the Dogfish Drive (now Sharkspeed), not sure if they will take it because the seller has to refund now. I can return to Amazon but with a $17 restock fee.

Does it clip your videos? I heard that some ssd can cause break up videos into clips.

Dude!!! Thank you!!🙏

Many thanks for your thorough guidance.

Excellent video

I will try this when I buy another drive. Thanks for this video.
