Just throwing around ideas, getting an idea of limitations. External recording via CF to SSD is not possible because of the bottleneck in data and processing power of the 5d Mark III.
Just some ideas based on things ive seen.
1st Idea to throw out there
Theres an DSTWO cart which can be used for game emulation on the nintendo 3ds. Now it has its own CPU built into it to help leverage more computing power for running those emulators.
Is the camera already attempting to write to the CF card by the time the data gets there? Would there be a possible way to circumvent writing of the data and instead make it a straight data transfer to a secondary CPU built into a custom CF card that could leverage a separate processor for writing the data to the card or even to an SSD via an interface like SATA.
2nd
Direct modifications to the 5d Mark II or III would be the only way to make this possible.
So basically you would need to engineer a custom firmware via Magic Lantern or whatnot and actually remove the CF card slot and circumvent the data transfer cap in general. So more of a hardware modification.
From what i've gathered SSD writing via CF card slot just is not going to happen.
