512 GB card crashing weapon

[Jason George]

Hi there- I have a 512GB card crashing my Weapon. Any advice here on how to deal with this type of situation?
I have re-installed camera firmware; still happens.
Thanks.

I had this experience once.

Reformatted the card in the Mac, then was able to reformat in the camera, and all was well.

Send a log to Red. I was having similar issues and it kept happening. I had to send it back in

I would do the "super clean" format.

There are two ways to format a Red card. One the is the regular way, and the other is "secure" format. "Secure" will completely wipe the card. There is zero chance to recover and data after btw.

I formatted the card in Disk Utility (MS DOS FAT 32), then secure formatted it in camera and it worked.
Thanks for the replies.
