Red Digital Cinema has come under fire recently over allegations that their Mini-Mag storage cards are just cheap commodity SSDs in a fancy enclosure. As it turns out, there's some truth to these assertions, but the situation is not quite as simple as it's made out to be. Let's unwrap it.

So, a low cost consumer SSD in a fancy box for $2,350.00 , and doesnā€™t even have redundancy. Thatā€™s a really huge margin profit.

$20 ssd in a 50k camera. How many millions did they spend on RnD to make that decision.

I work in the medical device industry and this practice of "transformative" tech is so common for medical device companies to markup their prices on simple things. To call out the most egregious example is Nihon Koden. They sell patient monitoring systems that save patient vitals to an SD card. The "NK approved SD card" is a 1 GB Toshiba SD card with no special firmware or physical differences than a standard card. They charge around $150 per card when a similar one can be bought for $6. "Well if there is no blocks to using a different SD card, why don't you?" Well it would work , but if a patient ever passes on an NK machine, the SD card would get blamed as a modification to the OEM's device, leading to legal trouble.

Appreciate the more objective, neutral take on the whole situation. Hard to come by nowadays.

Seriously? Requiring a full format everytime you want to delete a single file, just because you (RED) don't know how to do TRIM properly (or cheaped out so hard as to pick an SSD without TRIM support)?!

we bought a red package in 2014 for around 62K. 4 years later it all sold for under 20K.... Never buying red again.

As someone who recently experienced a complete failure on a brand new 960 whilst shooting a Netflix original and I'm STILL fighting for repair or replacement, this video makes me really freaking mad.

I love how Linus just shot both offenders at point blank range, no prisoners here. You're both guilty as charged lol.

I remember when Corridor Digital put out a video saying you knew absolutely nothing about your RED rant when you put it out, and a big thing they complained about was how you were talking about how ridiculous the redmags are. They said that you knew nothing about how expensive movie shots need on reliable storage mediums so they won't get lost, and they remarked that the Red mags were always reliable and that RED would recover all the data if the device corrupted. I think it's kinda funny how they flexed their 6 year RED ownership badge and were still wrong about their stuff.

I love that not even Linus or his team had the heart to actually put the camera or mini mag links into the description and instead just put a general link to "digital cameras" 10/10.
