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 flash 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 find 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).
