SD Cards for X2


efftee

Recommended Posts

My X1 and DL5 have a Transcend 32gb SD/HC 10 series card, quite a big jump from a max 2gb on the D2! They were around $25. A liittle more expensive than the outdated 2gb. I remember I paid $500 for a 5gb firewire drive when they first came out.

Thanks for the info. With all the M9 SD-cards hoopla, I thought I'd check before buying something that the X2 doesn't find palatable. So far, not having any issues with the 4Gb Sandisk Extreme 3 (30mb/s). Any speed improvements, or other practical benefits, with using a class-10 card on the X2, transferring data from card to computer, and vice versa, notwithstanding?

the speed is greatly improved over my SD 2GB cards but it really is an unfair comparison. The new cards are HD or even faster at HC. My previous card reader could not even read an HD/HC card. On the Power Mac which is now 8 years old, although has had a face lift with ram and storage is not slow but the files shooting dng/jpeg are also much bigger cause the camera can do it. My wife's 3.5 year old IMac zooms through in uploading to IPhoto. It is like everything else in the 0/1 world of cyberspace the bigger they design the bigger the speed+capacity becomes and the old guys are left back in the dust. Photoshop Bridge has no problems at being CS4. Manipulation is fine but my walls are not full of 11 x 17" renditions of my famous work of a true genius.

I'm currently using a 32GB Sandisk SDHC, which is rated at 45MB/s. No problems here, and it's fast, though I wish the camera wrote to the card a little faster (in this case, the limit is the camera, not the card).
