I do want to ask a question just to settle my mind. When choosing a disk, Sound Device recommended that you go with cards that are 40x and greater as far as the speed is concerned. </p> <p>Is this correct and if not, what speed card do you guys use and what other brands are out there that you might recommend. </p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/14843/cf-cards-for-sd722/14844#14844 Answer by Iain McGregor for CF Cards for SD722 Iain McGregor 2012-08-01T14:30:38Z 2012-08-01T14:30:38Z <p>I am very happy with San Disk and use the Extreme Pro range (100 MB/s) without any problems.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/14843/cf-cards-for-sd722/14845#14845 Answer by Flipstar for CF Cards for SD722 Flipstar 2012-08-01T15:11:50Z 2012-08-01T15:11:50Z <p>I've used the Kingston Elite Pro 8gb 133x in my 744T for years without any problems. In my 788T I go with the Sandisk 16gb 400x cards.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/14843/cf-cards-for-sd722/14846#14846 Answer by Matt Glenn for CF Cards for SD722 Matt Glenn 2012-08-01T15:13:16Z 2012-08-01T15:13:16Z <p>Even if the 722 could record 8 simultaneous tracks at 24bit 192kHz, the incoming data rate would only be 4.39MB/s. This is about half the rate of even the modestly-fast CF cards. </p> <p>The speed of a CD or SD card is much more important for videographers who are shooting 24-30 images per second, or photographers who are shooting multiple shots in quick succession (e.g., sports photographers).</p> <p>I use a SanDisk Ultra 8GB with a 30MB/s speed in my SD 702 and I've never had a problem.</p> <p>Cheers!<br> ~Matt</p>
