What are you using for the R09HR or the R-09, they are two different machines. The R09HR can take up to 32 gigs where the R09 can only take up to 8 gigs i think.
I have an R09HR and have had great luck with PNY cards. Others have used Sandisk without any issue, transend, patriot. just get your card from a trusted online retailer. I use B+H..
I have never worn my card out and only have replaced it to get a bigger capacity card. I ran a 16 gig card for a long time and only recently went to a 32 gig in my R09HR.
