Lachlan Coles Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems during playback from SSD with their 833 - I’m up to date with software version 7.10 but I’m getting the error “Problem with SSD during play”. I reformatted the drive but it’s still occurring - any thoughts, experiences from anyone using the 833 appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismedr Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 probably bad timing with the week-end coming up, but that's definitely one of the cases where I'd want to contact the manufacturer support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachlan Coles Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have been in contact with Danny from Sound Devices - was wanting to get a sense of whether it’s an issue with just my 833 (faulty SSD perhaps) or whether it’s more widespread. I’m on an 8 day block currently and it’s happening quite frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimic Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I haven’t experienced any problem with the SSD of my 833 so far. This week I recorded a theatre play of almost 3 hours with 8 mics and it worked like a breeze. I am afraid your SSD has a default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had that particular issue with my 833, but I know of someone locally with a Scorpio who had the same issue. Kinda disappointing, as you'd hope Sound Devices' own SSD would be the most reliable of the three media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘d also hope that you don’t jump to conclusions prematurely all the time. So far this seems like 2-3 reported cases out of how many units sold? Statistically that’s almost negligible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda disappointing, as you'd hope Sound Devices' own SSD would be the most reliable of the three media? Like you, I’d have thought the SSD would be the most robust too, but that has given me the thought of switching to one of the SD cards for playback and seeing if I have a similar issue. Re. the Scorpio, did the drive get replaced and did it solve the issue? 22 hours ago, Constantin said: I‘d also hope that you don’t jump to conclusions prematurely all the time.

Statistically that’s almost negligible Over the years I’ve owned the mix pre, the 744T with a 442, the 552, the 664 (still) and now the 833 and I’ve not had a problem with any of them - this is the first. As far as reliable location mixers go, I think Sound Devices make some great gear. Best Wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
