Tascam HD-P2 Compatable CF Cards
« on: April 03, 2007, 12:03:39 PM »
Just wanted to start a thread to have all the compatable CF cards for the HD-P2 in one spot.  I'm in the market and some real world experience would be great.  It would be nice to have them all in one spot too.  Thanks!   :laugh:

I've had no problems with the PQI 8 gig CF card (100x).  although the HD-P2 speed tests say that it's not good for stereo 24/192, only up to 24/96.  I've been using the card since July '06 at 24/96 with zero problems, so I'd definitely say its an option.

Whichever cards you decide on you would do well not to skimp here.  A few extra quid ??? (or bucks) is great peace of mind that your one shot interview or gig is safely in the bag on rock solid media, regardless of the conditions.  We use Sandisk Extreme III 4gig CFs with the Tascam, reformatting the cards after file dumping to the G5.

FWIW, I experienced this set of issues with my PQI 8 GB card.  Granted, only happened one time (my 2nd use of the card) and I didn't ever nail down the root cause, but made me nervous enough I didn't want to use my PQI card any longer.  YMMV.

Edit to add:  I think I probably corrupted the CF card by removing the card before unmounting.

well, I've been using a SanDisck Extreme III 16 gig card.  there seems to be some issue with the HD-P2 going haywire when the card gets to be half full.  for me, it just freezes completely.  the card isn't corrupted or anything, just the deck completely locks up when it's exactly 8 gigs full and I try to record.  at this point, I'm hoping for Tascam to release a firmware upgrade to be able to record past 8 gigs on the 16 gig cards... see this thread for some more discussion about that:

I'm having some computer issues that are proving elusive to pinpoint so I haven't even had a chance to work on that card any more Jason.
I was hoping to be on that project this week by now but this other quirk is slowing progress.
Did you ever contact Tascam yet? Or did they say they are working on a new firmware for it?
I think it's safe to say you and I stumbled on something though because it seems too much of a coinkydink we both experienced basically the same thing.

It should gordon. You can do a speed test. I'd do some tests first but it should work. I've always used my Kingstons at 24/48.

Hope that helps.

a friend of mine (who isn't really on ts.com much) uses a Kingston 45X (8 gig card) at 24/96 in his HD-P2 with no problems.
