Heads up: Your country may charge import duties or taxes when your order arrives. It’s worth checking with your local customs office to avoid surprises.
NEXA-MAG 1.8 is a high-performance media solution for RED ONE and DSMC1 cameras that use the original 1.8” REDMAG format. Built with the same advanced internals as our flagship NEXA-MAG drives, it delivers improved write speeds, enhanced thermal performance, and dramatically extended lifespan - all without requiring a Mini-Mag module upgrade. Designed for filmmakers who want modern reliability in a legacy form factor.
We’re launching a limited production run of the NEXA-MAG 1.8 — but we need your support to make it happen. To move forward, we need to secure at least 50 orders. See here for full details.
This is your chance to bring modern, high-performance media to RED ONE and DSMC1 cameras — and keep these legendary cameras running strong.
Full Power.
Older 960GB mini-mags used double the Toshiba components but only accessed half a channel of bandwidth. With NEXA-MAG, we’ve upgraded to a newer generation of Toshiba chips, cutting component count in half while unlocking the full bandwidth channel. The result is 25% faster read speeds, increased reliability with fewer connections, and a lifespan of up to 3000 Terabytes Written (TBW).
More life.
Built around ultra-cool running Toshiba components, NEXA-MAG utilises the latest compatible generation of SSD technology. Our drives are rated up to 3000 Terabytes Written (TBW)—over four times the lifespan of a standard Samsung 1TB SSD (720 TBW).
Offload fast.
NEXA-MAG achieves offload speeds of up to 570MB/s, a 25% increase over original Mini-Mags. While constrained by SATA III limitations, this is the maximum performance possible for this format - reducing transfer times and maximising shooting efficiency.
Locked. in.
NEXA-MAG is designed for enhanced usability, featuring precision recesses in the enclosure for a more secure grip, making insertion and removal effortless. Additionally, the drive’s width has been increased slightly, ensuring a tighter, more stable fit.
NEXA-MAG 1.8 is a next-generation media solution designed for RED ONE and DSMC1 bodies that use the original 1.8” REDMAG format. With aging REDMAGs becoming increasingly unreliable, this drive brings new life to classic RED cameras - delivering improved write speeds, superior thermal performance, and extended SSD lifespan.
Using the same internal tech found in our Mini-Mag-compatible NEXA-MAGs, this version offers comparable performance without requiring a Mini-Mag module upgrade. It’s built with high-end Toshiba NAND rated for up to 3000 TBW (terabytes written), a custom thermal architecture, and a precision-machined aluminium enclosure for secure, wobble-free camera fitment.
Whether you’re shooting on RED ONE, MX, or DSMC1, NEXA-MAG 1.8 ensures your footage is captured reliably and offloaded quickly - giving you modern confidence with legacy hardware.
