The ARRI Codex Compact Drive 1TB is the dedicated recording media for the Alexa 35 and Alexa Mini LF, designed to handle the demands of high-resolution, high-dynamic-range capture without breaking a sweat. With 1TB of storage, it gives you serious capacity for longer shooting days, multiple setups, or anything where you need the confidence that you’re not going to run out of space mid-scene.

Built to work seamlessly within the ARRI ecosystem, the Compact Drive slots directly into the camera body and keeps your recording workflow clean and simple. Offloading is handled via the Codex Compact Drive Reader, and the drives are engineered to maintain data integrity throughout — important when you’re dealing with premium ARRIRAW or Apple ProRes footage that’s heading into post. When you’re hiring an Alexa 35 or Mini LF from Shoot Blue, it’s well worth factoring in enough drives to cover your shoot days comfortably, and we can advise on quantities based on your formats and frame rates.
