I use 16GB cards and figure if they ever stop making cards that work in my recorders I can reuse. I have at least 100 by now so lifetime supply.

wait what? You only use your SD cards once? Why?...

if you think thats crazy, we used to use upwards of $10 per show on media back in the day
$10 buys you 10 shows worth of SDHC

That was necessary though. I don't see how one off SD cards is...

Cards are cheap. 2 reasons. First I believe a lower chance of card errors on a new and fully formatted card and second, at some point they will stop making cards compatible with the recorders. At that point I have a large supply of single use cards. Considering back in the day I would pay $24 for 2 DATS to record a show. A $16GB card costs $6.

I've been using the same 2 SDHC cards for 8 years now and have never had an issue. 500+ shows. Seems like a giant waste of money when it's not needed. Plus your recording gear is likely to fail before those cards become redundant
