Convergent Design takes a stand on really high speed SSD - 10 years Guaranteed


Odyssey7Q+ / Varicam LT RAW Support


(Colorado Springs, CO - March 17, 2016) Convergent Design today announces that beginning this week, all new Convergent Design 2.5” SSDs will come with a ten-year warranty.

"The level of performance and reliability of our SSDs is unmatched in the industry,” said Mike Schell, President, Convergent Design. “When we first began development of the Odyssey line, we had to go directly to the SSD manufacturers to have drives built to our specifications. There was nothing on the market that met our performance demands. These SSDs have performed remarkably well over the years, and we have found that they continue to so well beyond what we had originally hoped. Other manufacturers have also introduced products that meet our requirements, so we can now expand how we source our SSDs and allow us to extend our warranty."

Convergent Design SSDs (Certified for use with the Convergent Design Odyssey and Apollo monitor/recorders) offer a variety of qualities, detailed in the Convergent Design White Paper “Why to Trust Your Footage to Convergent Design Odyssey SSDs.” Features such as fast & consistent read & write speeds, both across the entire memory and across the lifespan of the SSDs, exceptionally long-life usability of the media, built-in power-loss protection, low power draw and robust reliability of construction are the hallmarks of the Odyssey SSD design.

About Red Hen Systems 

Red Hen Systems has relied on Convergent Design and its Nano proxy recorders for many years. The evolution of their Odyssey 7, 7Q, and 7Q+ into the Apollo four channel with a fifth as switch or quad-screen sets Convergent Design again as the leading technology as well as price point. What once cost $40,000 a few years ago for SD in a far less capable package for a tenth of that.  PRORES 4:2:2 1080p-30 running at 200+Mb times 4 + 1. You need more... add a bit of the 7Q+ magic and suddenly 4K stereo.
