  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Angelbird CF fast card over heating

Speaking of all of this, are there any SSD drives with a CFAST 2.0 adapter that works with Komodo? Increasing the recording time for continous recording.
 
My cards are VERY hot. Sandisk 128 cards from my c200 give me a "media temperature hot" warning when ejecting. No warnings on the angel bird 512 cards though
 
Ruining takes or not being able to write one thing, being not able to format another. Maybe it was extreamly hot after the reader and not the camera. Sometimes they get extremely hot if they are off the shelf like with different adapters. Never seen cf fast doing that but they all were fairly expensive.
 
Is there a quiet mode on the camera? If recording long takes in quiet mode, then that might overheat the cards.

Will these cards work with the Komodo?!?

Nope. Mechanically and electronically incompatible, and they use different protocols (SATA vs NVMe).
SATA III write speed is enough for today's RED cameras anyway.
What bothers me the most (actually since Komodo's announcement) is that the price point for Cfast 2.0 cards is still relatively high compared to other SATA III storage media. And why does an Angelbird Cfast 2.0 card cost more than one of their new CFexpress card with the same capacity?! Crazy price policy, really. Hoping for a price drop on Cfast 2.0...

Anyway, thanks for posting the announcement, Rand.
 
Thomas B,

You're welcome man!

Jason,

No, they are unfortunately not compatible as Thomas stated. I was posting it to show the advancement in CFEXPRESS 2.0 Type B cards relative to CFAST 2.0 cards that the Komodo uses. And just the advancements AngelBird were making in general.


EDIT:


But wouldn't it be great if Red came out with a Komodo 8K version maybe slightly bigger than the Komodo 6K that used CFEXPRESS 2.0 cards in the Komodo 8K version and had Dual Card Slots. You still could only record either Red Raw or ProRes , But you could format and designate one 4TB card for Red Raw and one 4TB card for ProRes. And when you did switch from recording Red Raw to ProRes Raw, the camera would already know which card was designated for which file type and automatically write to that card.
