Compact Drive
Designed for ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, 35, 35 Xtreme, and 265 cinema cameras.
Compact Drive is the recording media relied upon to secure the vision of leading filmmakers and productions.
Solid-state storage that combines ultra-high performance with a build-quality to meet the daily demands of the set.
Capture the highlights
Because there’s never a moment to lose.
-
UNCOMPRESSED, UNCOMPROMISED
Available with 1 TB or 2 TB capacity, Compact Drive writes uncompressed ARRIRAW data at consistently high speeds with no drop-off in performance. Also supports ARRICORE and ProRes capture.
-
OFFLOAD FASTER
Offload at up to 20Gb/s. Using CODEX software, High Density Encoding can be applied to ARRIRAW during offload, typically reducing file sizes by around 40% with no loss of data or quality.
-
RETURN TO CAMERA
With a fast, lightweight workflow it gets your capture media back to the camera quickly and leaves you with pristine ARRIRAW, ARRICORE, or ProRes images all the way downstream.
It all comes down to this
In-camera recording,
capturing the full potential for
Record, Recycle, Repeat
Designed and hand-assembled in the UK, every Compact Drive contains a single NVMe SSD protected by a casing that’s tough enough to take the realities of life on-set.
Built around a CNC aluminium base, with a robust connector that’s tested for 10,000 actions, it’s with you for the long haul.
Experience perfect performance, time after time after time.
Cool under Pressure
Offload at speed with advanced thermal design, dissipating the heat created by high data rates. No performance throttling and keeping those precious original camera files safe from harm.
Probably the coolest thing on set.
