I know high speed is better, but I was curious if any brands are preferred. I think I'd like to try this for dat transfers as I have an SD slot on my lappy.
Thanks.

SanDisk above all others

Are you talking about a Sound Devices 744T? It does not use SD cards, it used Compact Flash (CF) cards. Are your proposing using a SD card in a CF to SD adaptor, or using a SD card in an external FireWire card reader?

I meant CF...I'm distracted at work :)

Here's what I have found and wrote up for a different thread:

To summarize, I've found the 7xx boxes to be not sensitive to CF card brand or speed. The slowest, cheapest cards seem to work fine. That is a good thing. I don't own a 744T, but I do own a 702, 722, and a 788T and inexpensive cards work great even at the highest sample rates. I suspect the 744T would be equally tolerant of CF brand and speeds.
