About to buy a couple of SD cards...

[MerlinGamer]

Hi guys!


I think my Pandora is coming to me soon now, mainly because I've been given a tracking number! Woohoo!


Now I'm by no means an expert on computing, and a lot of these specifications on the SD cards are all Chinese to me. To cut a long story short I'm looking at this card: http://www.ebuyer.com/344249-verbatim-32gb-secure-digital-card-c4-44022


Can anyone tell me if it will be suitable?


Cheers mates

I've heard bad stories about Pandora and verbatim sd cards, I'm sure the owner of one will chime in soon

I was only looking at them because they are quite cheap, would make sense that they were the nastiest hehe


These aren't too expensive either: http://www.ebuyer.com/288359-lexar-premium-32gb-class-6-secure-digital-high-capacity-card-lsd32gbsbeu100


and they are plus 6 class above the other! (is that good? lol)

After finding the compatibility page on the wiki I've decided to go for these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandisk-Ultra-20MBS-Secure-Digital/dp/B001DEUWDC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333800781&sr=8-1

^ You may want to try to find them from a non-third-party seller, just in case any fakes are about.


Regarding the earlier links, Verbatim and Lexar are two of the world's biggest media manufacturers, for what it's worth, and that's why their cards cost pretty much the same price as each other. That's just the level that 32GB cards have fallen to, now, rather than there being anything wrong with them.

That was just one particular card, DM, as I've said numerous times. I cannot recommend Verbatim's Class 6 (and above) cards intended for HD camcorders, as in spite of being labelled as being high-performance cards, ones containing the controller that mine did don't work very well for general use and will devour small writes and corrupt files as a result annoyingly often (such as happened with mine), but I don't know how their other cards behave.

A good place to start would be any card in green on this list:
