This is a media package for the Arri Alexa XT and Arri Alexa Plus 4:3 w/ XR module upgrade. It consists of the CDX-75002 dual drive reader (dock), 2x CDX-3730 512GB capture drives, Atto ThunderLink TLSH-1068-D00 Thunderbolt to 6Gb SAS/SATA Host, power supplies, and appropriate cabling.


Each Codex CDX-3730 provides 512GB (480GB usable) of solid-state storage for your Alexa XT or Plus XR. Use of the Codex drives instead of a Cfast / SxS adapter allows internal ARRIRAW and unlocks maximum frame rates, resolutions, and recording times available for the camera.

The Codex CDX-75002 is a mini-SAS Capture Drive Dock (reader for the CDX-3730). Has two drive slots (dual). The standard license for the software allows you copy Digital Camera Negative files (ARRIRAW, CanonRAW, DPX, or ProRes, depending on what format was recorded).

This connects via SAS to the Atto Thunderlink TLSH-1068-D00. This allows you to then connect to your Mac via Thunderbolt cable. If you do not want to use Thunderbolt, you can not use the Thunderlink and connect the Codex CDX-75002 dock via an Atto ExpressSAS H680 card, a PCIe 2.0 Host Bus Adapter that would install into your Mac Pro desktop (or expansion chassis for MacBook Pro). The H680 card is not included in this package.

These items are very rare on the used market and not available new anymore. This includes the CDX-75002 dual dock, 2x CDX-3730 drives, Atto Thunderlink, power supplies, and appropriate cables to connect everything.

This is compatible with Mac only. Drivers / software for everything is available online (links will be provided). Some versions of OS X may not be compatible or would require older versions of software, so please check before purchase that it will work for you. Cosmetically the items have scratches and paint wear. There is one piece of plastic damaged on the dock, which is only cosmetic in nature. Overall in presentable condition. Everything is fully tested in excellent working order.
