NAB 2014 - REDMAG 1.8" 240GB

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Who will buy old expensive mags?

Me thinks they might get a price cut when these are released.

 

[ivan friedman]

This is a very good news!

 

[Nick Morrison]

Another great announcement. Again, thanks!

 

[Petri Teittinen]

Do we know how much "faster" means... is that fast as minimags or no?

Indeed. Will this mag give my Epic higher framerates and/or lower compression rates?

 

[Eric Z]

How fast exactly are we talking here...490MB/s sequential write?

 

[ericyoung]

The one year warranty has been waaay overdue, but certainly very welcome!

Lower price also very nice, thanks.

 

[Josh Krzywonos]

Great announcement!! Thank you guys.

This is great news that you haven't given up on the 1.8" standard. I'm sure the mini mags are cool but it required a massive investment. I actually like the 1.8" size.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I have such bad timing on buying/ selling REDMAGs, lol!

If I would've known about these, I probably wouldn't have converted to the mini-mags. I do love the new mini-mags, though.

 

[Kennan Ward]

Jeff,

I can relate, I have had the worst Red media timing since Red One flash cards, Red Drives, and SSD 256 cards! I bet I have spent close to all the camera costs and updates for media!

What is still unknown is delivery six to eight weeks and being in line to receive a 240! And will they be as fast as 512 mini to take full advantage of Dragon!

Back on the fence!

Kennan

 

[Stivan Widick]

Yes, please! Great timing for me...!

 

[Ryan Sauve]

This is awesome, thanks guys!

 

[Perry Ho]

This the wonderful price... Thanks Jarred...

Also wondering on the Exact Difference between RED MINI MAGS, the old 256 GB SSD 1.8" and these new 240 GB 1.8".

Would be great if RED could give us some Info, wo we can make a smart Buying Decision. We are for example just in the middle of thinking to upgrading to MINI Mags.

 

[Alex Kiritz]

It says on red.com that these are mSATA, so they're the same part that would go in 240 GB minimags.

So you would be positive they are same Speed and therefore Framerates/Compression than MINI MAGS ? i thought the Side Module itself is limited to 3G Sata and does not have 6G Sata?

 

[Will Keir]

How much faster? Similar to the 512GB? Would there be comparison compression charts available soon please?

The REDMAG 256GB is being replaced by the 240GB version.

The 240GB is faster than the current 256GB.

 

[Alex Kiritz]

i thought the Side Module itself is limited to 3G Sata and does not have 6G Sata?

I don't think that's the case. I think the side module is mostly just a pass-through. You may be thinking of the RedMag reader which is limited to 3 gigabits.

Case in point, the larger side module supports full-size 512 GB mags which record at 450 MB/s which is more than 3 gigabits.

 

[Shiblon Wixom]

So when do we get new Red Mag readers with eSATA, FW800 and USB3, all together, along with 6Gb/s transfer speeds. I would love to offload redmags to my internal raid at 400 MB/s, especially with 240 GB cards.

Good Point. Well now i am really looking forward to some official Numbers, FPS, RED CODE Ratios
