ARRI authorized SanDisk CFast cards?

[keith.miyamoto]

Hello,

Good to hear that ALEXA Mini/AMIRA SUP 5.2 has been released and supported SanDisk CFast cards.

Is ARRI planning to put an "Tested by ARRI" sticker on the SanDisk cards, like you did for Lexar?
Or should we just buy random cards from amazon?

Please advise.

Dear Keith,

that's from our release notes:

Support of new Recording Media
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 128GB (SDCFSP-128G-xxxD)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 256GB (SDCFSP-256G-xxxD)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 512GB (K2.0016648)**

*SanDisk Extreme Pro CFast 2.0 512GB with a special firmware for ARRI will be available via ARRI sales channels in 2018

So, you're good to buy 128GB and 256GB cards at the dealer of your choice aka "anywhere".

Cheers,
Jan

Jan,

What is going to be special about the firmware on the 512GB cards vs. having 256GB cards without this firmware?

thanks,
