Hi there... I just wanted to post a follow up.
Arriflex requires a certain threshold of continuous write speed from these cards (I think we all knew that already) so cfast cards meant for use in our cameras are built and tested to a certain spec.
It seems as if somehow a batch of "lesser" rated cards got mixed in early shipments of the Amira, and while they may work fine, performance can also be erratic. The SUP I installed now "filters" them out. One of my cards seems to be from this batch.
Oliver was kind enough to connect me directly with a supervisor at Sandisk, and I'm currently awaiting a new card.
If you post here, Oliver and Guenter do read and pay attention. They have been pretty active offline getting this resolved for me.
Cheers,
Harry

Please update to the latest SUP. https://www.arri.com/en/technical-servi ... p-overview
Next, please check if the media you are trying to use are actually supported. There are two custom ARRI versions of CFast cards running on special firmware. Their retail counterparts unfortunately are not supported. You can find a list here: https://www.arri.com/en/camera-systems/ ... -2-0-cards

I finally did the update last week and discovered one of my cards will give me the very same error message.
Was there ever any resolution to this.
I wanted to post this last week but have not been on the board in awhile.
I suspect some of the older accounts were deactivated.

Please insert the card into the camera, then export the camera log file to a USB drive from the INFO screen.blakeadam wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 3:48 pm I finally did the update last week and discovered one of my cards will give me the very same error message.

Send the log file to your ARRI service center or just service@arri.de and ask them why the card is marked invalid, if it really is a supported model.
