ARRI has introduced a new CFast 2.0 memory card this week in the form of the ARRI Edition AV PRO AR 256 CFast 2.0 card by Angelbird. The new memory card has been created thanks to a close partnership between ARRI and Angelbird Technologies. The result is a “rock-solid 256 GB CFast 2.0 card, with super-stable recording performance all the way across the storage space, making it the perfect addition to an ALEXA Mini or AMIRA camera setup”.
Oliver Temmler, Product Manager for Storage Media at the ARRI headquarters in Munich, Germany explains more.”Many of the CFast cards we tested delivered good results, but it usually takes the manufacturers a few attempts to stabilize their performance for high data-rate write patterns. Angelbird really stood out-they listened to us closely and quickly determined which parameters they had to tweak.”
“For the ARRI Edition CFast card, the Angelbird team did not want to settle for “good enough” but went straight for “the very best.” They developed an ARRI-specific card that uses a combination of thermally conductive material and so-called underfill, to provide superior heat dissipation from the chips, and to secure the electronic components against mechanical damage. The ARRI Edition AV PRO AR 256 memory card by Angelbird is available exclusively from ARRI and other sales channels offering ARRI products.”
