Reddit mentions of SanDisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 SDXC UHS-I Memory Card up to 80MB/s (SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN)

This comment chain is perfect for me since I'm undergoing problems with this process.

I recently bought this 64 GB SD card for Sun and Moon.

And have been trying to use the MiniTool method to reformat it to Fat32 from the default exFat. But MiniTool says that it's a "bad disk" despite working perfectly with Windows 10 otherwise.

Does anyone know what's going on and how I can get it to work with MiniTool?

> Is it possible to use a micro SD (with adapter of course)

Yes.

> If so, any disadvantage to doing that?

Read/write speeds tend to not be as good, and the adapter is an additional failure point. You may as well just get a regular 64GB SD card.

They were SanDisk. Here's a single for $11.49.

Considering at 4X a Blu-ray is read at only about 15MB/s I have the feeling it will be extremely easy to beat that with an SD card. The really expensive SD cards at 64GB's are about 30 dollars and have a read and write of 80MB/s

The PS3 has a 2X Blu-ray Drive, which means it's closer to only 9MB/s {72mbps} read.

As for SD cards, yes they will probably cost more if the game is considerable in size, so many companies will stick with discs and whatever is cheapest in general as long as it's not so cheap as to piss people off.

Why though? How big your card? I can take over 1000 RAW photos on a 64GB card, so I can leave it in the camera if the images aren't super important.

Just buy another card it will cost you $20/£20 and you have solved the problem. The whole point of removable storage is that you can be flexible, so don't limit yourself.

$12 64GB Sandisk Ultra (slowest card but fine for photos) https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN/dp/B0143IIP4W

$17 64GB Sandisk extreme (Faster card) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H42L4TJ/ref=psdc_1197396_t2_B0143IIP4W?th=1

$10 Lexmark 64GB (seem just as fast as the extreme above)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012PL6K8M/

Buy two of those Lexmark cards, or even 3 32GB ones (not sure how many photos you take at once), and you're sorted.

The Sandisk Ultra cards are a fast, but cheap option (80MB/s):

These are UHS-I cards, which may explain the low price. The X-E3's card slot is UHS-I, so there's no advantage to buying UHS-II cards, other than future-proofing.

You should get a class 10 card to make sure you have enough bandwidth to record video or use burst mode but otherwise it doesn't really make a difference. Something like this would probably be perfect for you. I don't really trust no name brand SD cards, and why take the risk when sandisk ones are so cheap?

A question before I start; will you be using an editor to sync things up in post or would you rather take things together(audio and video) and have them all sorted out at one time?

Here's a list of things that I think would be beneficial, but not an encompassing list. If you're trying to go for a cheap list that could still get the job done, I find that these items have decent reviews on Amazon and websites and they do offer a good starting point for a budget.

1. The Camera: Canon EOS M2 ($250)
   
   I feel like the Canon EOS M2 would be a strong contender. It is actually a mirrorless camera that has the same sensor as that of the more expensive T3i. Due to it's lack of popularity with photographers due to the slower autofocus, it has seen multiple price reductions. Although it contains autofocusing issues in the photography modes, it's video modes are what really helps this camera out. You have a good starting lens with an 18-55mm lens, which may be wide enough for that room at 18, but it could even be close enough for a closer image. You can even be more technical and add in other features. Also this camera has a direct mic-in line for use of an external mic, like the shotgun mic below.
   
   
2. The Audio: Zoom H1 Portable Audio Recorder $99 OR TAKSTAR SGC-598 $29.99
   
   Audio is key here. You want to be able to hear the pastor as he gives sermons, so you have two general models. You can place the portable recorder closer to him, giving you crisp audio at a very minimal distance, or you can attach a shotgun microphone to the camera and pick it up from a distance further away. The only thing is, would you rather have the camera do it all for you or would you rather have to sync up the audio in editing? The Zoom mic is nice because you can purchase one of these ($21.38) and mic the pastor up before service to give a very crisp lapel audio.
   
   
3. The SD Cards: Sandisk 64GB 80mb/s ($22.49)
   
   This should be a given.
   
   
4. Power and Adapters: AC Adapter ($15.50) OR 2-Pack Spare Batteries($28.99)
   
   You can choose to have it either plugged in the whole time during recording, or you can have it run off of batteries. Your personal preference.
   
   
5. Tripod: AmazonBasics 60" tripod ($23.49)
   
   You requested a tripod for the ease of use.
   
   Given that you live in the US, after taxes, you're essentially looking at a $500 setup for all of that equipment. That may not be the best equipment for people or even be suggested by anyone else here, but that is just my $0.02.

Guys one more question, would this SD card work in the camera?
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN/dp/B0143IIP4W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1520885034&sr=8-3&keywords=sdxc&dpID=51-jJiInHrL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

OMG it like $12 bucks

and this one is under $9

when you paid $6??

So yeah... I did some research and I found that the 80mb/s refers to the read not the write speed. Should have expected that.

I remember I did benchmarks on the card with ML and the read spead was something along the lines of 20 - 15 mb/s (still quite far off the 80mb/s in my opinion) and the write started at 8 and dropped all the way to 6 mb/s (pretty sure it was something along those lines. I don't remember the exact numbers and I can't fetch the logs because I formatted the card.) But anyway. I just dug up a two other micro SD card and put them in the camera to test the video on them. Both empty - one being some random card without any clear brand on it and the other being a SanDisk Ultra 16gb class 10 (yeah I read how that is also an old standard for speed and I shouldn't have bought it because I thought that that was fast). Both of the micro sd cards recorded a full HD video for 29 minutes (the limit) and could have kept going without any interruptions (and I was moving the camera so there isn't the argument that files were "smaller" because it is static image).

Anyway. To sum up I think that the 64GB SD card is somehow defective because it was outperformed by a generic old card and a SanDisk Ultra 16GB microsd

Edit: Also I looked at the mediainfo report for one of the videos I shot when I noticed that problem and it says that the bitrate is between 48 and 46 mb/s. No idea if that is normal, if that is good or bad.. honestly I am not that familiar with bitrates and things like that.

I would personally get https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN/dp/B0143IIP4W for a SD card, it's the one I have in both my 2DS and Wii U, it's 64GB and it's only like $7 more from what you mentioned.

HDDs can be expensive, and with a 64GB card you can use an RedNAND to store your games on your SD card, but that limits you to 32gb or 8gb depending on your Wii U storage size.

I have this HDD: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-STEA2000400/dp/B00TKFEE5S for my Wii U, it's $60 and you could probably get it cheaper. There's a 1TB version which is $51.50 there, too. On the Wii U, you won't be storing up to a TB, but some games are like 20GB while others are only 5GB. I wasn't able to find any small capacity HDDs on Amazon.

Thank you! So the Nikon has no memory card at the moment. Since the camera is old, am I going to run into any issues with buying a new SDXC card? Would this one work?

You didn't specify which you need and a micro does work in a full sized slot with the included adapter rtrd.

And here is a full sized for only 2$ more.

Hello,

My SO just bought the SonyAlpha A6000.
Is this SD memory card bad, adequate or overkill?

Edit:I chose this card bc it is class 10 and cheap, but now I think it may be better with a U3 card with 30 MB/s write spd? Please enlighten me!

Please let me know if any questions!

Thank you in advance!
