SD Cards Specs

[BigAl07]

I just found out that the inventory of SD cards I have been using for my M2Pro are now "SLOW" when placed in newer aircraft (DJI FPV). So I need to buy new ones and want to get a feel for what others are currently using and why. Heads up, I'm not worried about capacity as I usually use 32gb unless I'm mapping then I only go up to 64gb. I like to change the memory card out with EVERY battery change which is why I like the smaller capacity cards.

So what SPEED/SPEC are the cards you're using for new aircraft? I'm most likely specifically looking to see what newer models like A2S and M3 are using.

This might be useful A guide to speed classes for SD and microSD Cards - Kingston Technology
I think the one in my FPV is U3 and I don't remember any problems.
BTW you may struggle to find cards as 'small 'as 32Gb now, or at least from reliable sources. I am not a fan of big cards but have more or less been forced to buy 128G cards 'recently'.

Yea biggest thing is look for U3 or V30 on the card, by a brand name you recognize and buy from a reputable seller like bh photo or Best Buy. I really don’t even trust Amazon. These are just too easy to fake.

After that it’s just a commodity. The max read/write on package don’t mean anything and are just marketing garbage. You need minimum sustained write speed which is what the U3 and V30 refer to.

A list was posted yesterday in the forum. I use a 256GB SanDisk card and no issues with it in my Air2.

I have been using Sandisk Extreme PRO 64GB (1 BU), I never had an issue. B&H photo in New York are experts in photography so if you give them a call about cards, they are really helpful.
