Title: Sound Devices 722 & LEXAR - 128GB CompactFlash Memory Card Compatibility
Post by: dactylus on March 28, 2017, 10:19:57 AM

Has anyone tried using Lexar compact flash cards in their Sound Devices recorders?  I'm specifically looking at picking up this Lexar 128mb card:

LEXAR - 128GB CompactFlash Memory Card Professional 800x UDMA 7

I have never purchased a Lexar compact flash card.  Just curious if this card will word with my SD722.

I know there small cards are on the approved SD list but not sure about the 128GB version. Might be worth giving them a call or buying from Amazon for an easy return.  :cheers:

Sound Devices tech support says that the Lexar 128GB Compact Flash Card should work.  I'll give it a try and report back...

The SD 7xx is not at all finicky about the type of card. I'd wager you'll have no problems...

Used a 128 in my 702 no problem. Also in my 744.

I formatted the 128 in my 722 but I haven't actually recorded to it yet.  I'll run it at the next show and see how it goes.  I think that it will be fine.

I used the 128GB CF in my 722 last night.  No problems whatsoever.
