Description
AJA PAK 512GB SSD module exFAT - PAK512-X3
PAK Media
File based recording means your files are your master copy - something you don't want to leave to chance.
PAK Media uses a solid metal housing to protect the internal SSD drive from the bumps and bounces of field use, ensuring your media is secure.
The reinforced connector is engineered for repeated insertion and removal cycles, unlike the connector built into SSD drives, which is designed primarily to be inserted into a computer and rarely removed.
There are four PAK Media sizes available offering a balance between price and long recording needs and you may order the PAK 512 and PAK 1000 media preformatted as HFS+ or exFAT. The PAK 2000 media is preformatted as exFAT.
**Ki Pro Ultra Plus multi-channel recording requires PAK 2000, PAK 1000, or PAK 512 media that are at version -R1/-X1 or higher.
Note: Actual working storage sizes for drives for various technical reasons will be less than the stated absolute drive size. Therefore, project dependent, AJA recommends ordering a larger capacity when required.
PAK Media Advantages
PAK Media uses “Enterprise Level” flash memory. This is the highest quality rating available for digital media.
Enterprise rated memory can have up to 10 times the endurance of consumer media, critical for professional use. Additionally enterprise memory provides data retention during power loss, essential for the preservation of your precious content.
Consumer media often varies in quality from batch to batch under the same name and label. Enterprise Level media like AJA PAK media is guaranteed to run to the same high quality standards every time, from unit to unit.
Each PAK unit is individually burned-in and tested at AJA’s plant before you receive it.
As with every AJA product, each and every PAK unit shipped has been burned-in and tested at our factory in Grass Valley. This QC and testing is a key component for reliability and predictability in high pressure professional settings.
PAK Media’s connector is a ruggedized connector rated for thousands of Insertions.
PAK’s connector is designed for multiple insertions into Ki Pros and PAK Dock Pros. This includes robust design, strong metal, and substantial gold plating. Our connector is rated for 10,000 insertions. By comparison, connectors on bare drives are not designed for multiple insertions, substantially putting your precious media content at risk.
PAK Media is protected in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure, designed to withstand tough environments and the occasional accidental drop.
PAK’s are secured in a custom-designed hard aluminum enclosure, designed to protect the recording media. Conversely, bare drives, such as those used by our competitors, are intended for internal installation only and can suffer damage when used as portable media.
PAK Dock Pro
PAK Dock Pro is an external dock for use with AJA PAK media. PAK Dock Pro utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port for high speed transfer of recorded media files to a host computer. PAK Dock Pro is bus-powered, meaning that a single USB-C cable provides power to the unit and also file transfer.
Key PAK Dock Pro features include:
- Compatible with all AJA PAK Media for convenient file transfers
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 for transfer speeds up to 10Gbps*
- Cables included
- Reversible USB Type-C connector for quick and easy connection
- Bus powered
- Rugged metal enclosure for durability and longevity
- Compact 11cm x 6cm x 1.5cm metal enclosure
- Ideal for desktop use
*Actual transfer speed is dependent on the PAK media and host system used
$245 US MSRP
Compatibility
PAK drives are compatible with the current Ki Pro Ultra 12G and the legacy Ki Pro Ultra and Ki Pro Ultra Plus 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD file based recorders and players.
The combination of these powerful devices and PAK storage creates an efficient workflow for capturing media as ProRes or DNx files and bringing it quickly and easily into the post production environment in a high quality file format that also maintains manageable file sizes.
