Title: Best SD card for Marantz 620?
Post by: MakersMarc on July 02, 2018, 10:02:51 PM

Figure I'm fine with Lexar or Sandisk Class 10 but thought I'd check and see what peeps use. Thanks!

I use 16Gb Sandisk Ultra Class 10 in mine.

No problems in any of my devices - 620,706,Nikon DSLR, Canon vidcam...

Doug recommended Sandisk ultra or extreme. Says Sandisks had some issues lately.

I have used many SD cards in the decade I have had my PMD620.  Speeds ranging from class 4 to class 10, mostly SanDisk, but also a few Lexar, Sony and Transcend, and never had an issue.  I think it's just not very picky about cards (at least genuine ones from decent manufacturers).

Be somewhat careful about where you buy these brand-name items, since there is some counterfeiting in the picture. I wonder whether someone's allegation that a certain brand had "had problems lately" might be because the cards with the actual problems weren't from the manufacturer whose name was on the product.

Also, don't assume that a recorder's highest sampling rate is automatically the best choice in all circumstances.
