Title: need a recommendation
Post by: saxophoner on March 08, 2007, 06:17:34 PM

just got a PMD660 that comes with a 64mb card.  need something ALOT bigger, duh.  I've read that some card brands are bunk or don't work on specific decks.  I want atleast a 4 gig card, could you give me a name brand/model number of a reliable one.  i see alot of third party cards on ebay but feel dumb paying $10 for something retails $60+
if you've got an extra shoot me a pm
thanks ahead of time

SanDisk is a great reliable brand.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820171104 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820171104)

also Kingston is a great card.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820160034 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820160034)

The above linked cards are just two examples.  If you stick with one of those brands you can price shop more towards your own budget but they are a good starting point.

SanDisk is probably the best, but I have a Transcend 4 GB that works well
