SSD MAINTENANCE
This section describes best practices to ensure that your RED MINI-MAGs and REDMAG 1.8" SSDs continue to
provide reliable storage and fast data rates. Following these best practices may prevent your SSD from becom-
ing fragmented, which can lead to data integrity errors.
The only files that should be saved from your computer to your SSD are Preset files and Firmware Upgrade
files. DO NOT save other files, folders, or applications to your SSD.
DO NOT delete clips off of your SSD using a computer. Delete clips only by formatting your SSD in-camera.
For more information about formatting your SSD, go to
DO NOT format your SSD using a computer, unless the SSD cannot mount to the camera. For more infor-
mation, go to
