Best memory cards for the Air 3s?

[Marc Hufnagel]

I have a couple of Sandisk Extreme Plus cards in 128gb but the Air 3s just doesn't use them reliably. Sometimes not able to recognize them. I have a few of them and about half of them work.

They work ok in my computer on a card reader so I know they are ok - just not liked by the 3s.

What cards are you all using that are reliable in their use on the quad?

I use Lexar for backup SSD's and 128gb microSD's in all my drones (V90's). Reliable as a heartbeat.

Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Plus cards work very well.
The number of failures you've described suggests you might have some counterfeit cards.

Yup, have not used Extreme Plus or standard Extreme but my Mini drone uses Sandisk Extreme Pro, with no issues.

Only changed to Lexar for my Air 3S as these were the recommended brand and particular card DJI recommended for this drone.

Ditto…I have used the same forever and never had a bad card.

Sound advice, always buy these from a reputable retailer ie. Amazon

These cards came from a Costco warehouse retail location.
