CFast Cards

These are the storage medium for Ninja Star. You can use either

CFast 1.0 or CFast 2.0 cards.

Which CFast cards should you use?

There are many CFast cards available, and newer models appear all

the time. We are not able to test all CFast cards but here are some

guidelines.

Speed and reliability are the main factors. Here are a few things to

bear in mind:

• We recommend a write speed of a minimum 80 MB/s.

Atomos regularly test CFast cards – please check this link before

Backing up and archiving

Remember that no storage medium, including tape, optical disks, spinning

disks and ash memory, is completely immune from failure. You should

bear this in mind when deciding how to manage your recorded content.

At the very least, you should consider the consequences for you and your

business if your storage medium were to suffer from a sudden failure, and

you should back up your content accordingly. Hard drives that you can

use for archiving are becoming increasingly affordable. You may nd that

it is completely feasible for your to keep your master Ninja Star cards on a

shelf (just like tapes!), and, as a backup, store copies on large hard drives,

RAID arrays or Network Attached Storage (NAS).
