Fred Salles Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hello, Lately looking regularly to the Sound Devices approved media list for 8 series I realized they have not changed it in a long while. There are many new brands and models on the market nowadays and I wonder if we could exchange on experiences with cards not listed there. I have been using Manfrotto pro V90 SD cards for 4k video camera (side job) for more than a year without a single hiccup. Now it is overkill for our SD recorders but I have not used them on set yet just... because they were not listed. I still have to find the time to do extensive test not on a job before writing a feedback here. Why would they not work? they are rated for a far more fast read and write speed than required by SD. Is there something I am missing? Same applies to USA brand Prograde Digital. They seems to make good v60 and v90 SD cards and are gaining good reputation in video, but I have never heard a sound colleague using them. Any feedback on successful use of SD cards not listed by Sound Devices with the 8 series could be usefull (for them as well I guess).

Johnny Karlsson Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 I have had no problems with these: SanDisk 64GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I - 150MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN Currently have 6x of these in rotation.

Not-pro seems to work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Mega Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I use the 64 and 128 GB 150MB/s and they’re both fine. Having said that, I’ve also been using the Extreme Pro version with no issues. The 95MB/s ones are fine and the 170MB/s version has also been fine in my Scorpio. Just buy the Extreme version, gold in colour. They’re cheaper anyway and they’re solid. Regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
