About the AJA KI-SSD512USB-R0 Solid State Drive

The AJA 512GB KiStor Solid State Drive (KI-SSD512USB-R0) is a high-performance, field-ready storage module purpose-built for seamless integration with AJA Ki Pro and Ki Pro Rack video recorders. By utilizing reliable solid-state media instead of a spinning hard disk, this drive offers enhanced durability and the sustained write speeds necessary for capturing high-bandwidth professional video formats. It is encased in a tough outer shell to protect critical data from the physical rigors of daily production, broadcast, and live event environments. Like all KiStor modules, it features reinforced connection points specifically engineered to handle a high volume of insertions and removals, far surpassing the lifespan of standard consumer drives.

Beyond capture, the 512GB KiStor SSD is designed to significantly streamline post-production workflows. It features a SATA port for secure, high-speed connection directly to the Ki Pro unit or a KiStor Dock, ensuring dropout-free recording of formats like Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD. For rapid media offloading in the field, the module also incorporates a built-in Micro-USB 3.0 port, allowing you to plug the drive straight into an editing workstation without the need for an external card reader or power supply. This 512GB capacity provides ample headroom for extended shoots, capable of holding approximately five hours of 1080p/24 ProRes 422 HQ footage with four channels of audio.

FAQs about AJA KI-SSD512USB-R0 Solid State Drive

What are the main advantages of the KI-SSD512USB-R0 SSD over traditional HDD KiStor modules?

The solid-state drive offers faster data transfer speeds, lower power consumption, silent operation, and high shock/vibration resistance, making it much more reliable for mobile or loud production environments like helicopters, vehicles, and live sports.

Which AJA video recorders are compatible with the KI-SSD512USB-R0 module?

The module is fully compatible with the AJA Ki Pro, Ki Pro Rack, Ki Pro Quad, and the external AJA KiStor Dock.

Do I need a docking station to offload footage from the SSD?

No. The module includes a built-in USB 3.0 micro-B port on its outer housing, allowing you to connect the drive directly to any computer's USB port using a standard USB 3.0 cable.

Does the SSD require an external power supply when connected to a computer?

No. The drive draws bus power directly from the host computer's USB port during offloading and file transfer operations.

Can I record 4K or high-bitrate video to this drive?

Yes. The high sustained write speeds of the SSD make it ideal for recording high-quality codecs, including Apple ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 4444, and Avid DNxHD formats without dropping frames.

Can I format the SSD directly on the Ki Pro recorder?

Yes. You can format and initialize the drive directly using the onboard menu interface on compatible Ki Pro hardware, making it quick and easy to prep drives between shoots.

Can I edit video files directly off the KiStor SSD via USB 3.0?

Yes. Because the drive records to native NLE file formats (such as ProRes and DNxHD) and delivers fast USB 3.0 throughput, you can mount the drive on your computer and edit directly off the module in NLEs like Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.

Is the KI-SSD512USB-R0 hot-swappable?

Yes. As long as the recorder is not actively reading or writing data, you can safely remove and swap KiStor SSD modules without turning off the Ki Pro unit.
