RED DRIVE (RAID)
The RED DRIVE (RAID)™ is the workhorse of RED ONE™ digital media choices. It is both the lowest priced and highest capacity media available at this time. It is an outboard media format that can be mounted in the RED RAIL CRADLE on the camera body or RAIL system. It interfaces with the camera via the Drive Connector LEMO. The 320GB RED DRIVE is made up of two 2.5" 160GB laptop hard drives arranged in a hardware-based RAID 0. The drives are in a RAID for data transfer speeds – it cannot be reconfigured to record in a RAID 1 mirrored formatting. The RED DRIVE™ is capable of recording between two and three hours of 4K REDCODE™ RAW footage. To the user, what goes on inside of the RED DRIVE™ can be most easily explained as "magic pixies." No matter how you look at it, storing two to three hours of 4K REDCODE™ RAW footage on a drive smaller than an ASC manual is downright unbelievable.
RED FLASH DRIVE
The RED FLASH DRIVE™ is the highest-capacity solid-state [flash] digital media option available for the RED ONE™. It has an identical form factor to the RED DRIVE (RAID)™, but is made up of
solid-state media instead of spinning media. It is an outboard media format that can be mounted in the RED RAIL CRADLE on the camera body or RAIL system. It interfaces with the camera via the Drive Connector LEMO.
The 64GB RED RAM™ is made up of two 2.5" 32GB solid-state laptop flash drives arranged in a hardware-based RAID 0.
The RED RAM™ is capable of recording roughly thirty to forty minutes of 4K REDCODE™ RAW footage.
RED CompactFlash [CF] read/write Module
The RED CompactFlash [CF] read/write Module has become the de facto standard method of recording on the RED One. The Module does not actually store data – instead it adds an interface into which CompactFlash media cards can be inserted. This recording solution is now included with every RED One at the additional cost of $500. Offering the equivalent of a 400ft film reel per 8GB card, this "necessity" also provides the solution for a speedy and reliable firmware upgrade path.
