You actually want to hear about successful runs with the DR-70D?
These two were made on the brand-new Panasonic RP-SDUC32GAK (SDHC UHS-I (CLASS 10)R:90MB/s W:45MB/s)
Firmware 1.11 No Phantom Power, 4-channels line in via unbalanced into the XLR combo jacks, at 24/48, with USB battery pack.

After these recordings were made on 2015-12-29, I powered the deck down, took the deck home, removed the Panasonic SD card, put it into my MacBookPro's SDXC slot, transferred the files, "ejected" the card, removed the card, replaced the card into the DR-70D and probably turned on the deck to check the settings and time remaining. I would then have turned the deck off, and packed it for the next show, which is the one where it failed, about an hour in, using the same settings - line in 4 channels, 24/48, no phantom power, USB battery pack, still firmware 1.11, as I did not realize that 1.12 "improved operational stability."
First set of the second show, I hear a problem. Wonder what else is wrong with these recordings??

A brief glitch at 1:48 of t18 is entirely due to the defective Tascam DR-70D. It is in all 4 channels of the master files from the DR-70, but that sound does not appear at all on the masters made on my Sony recorders, including the one that was patched out of the Tascam's camera-out jack. Thus proving that the file glitching problem is confined to the card-writing part of the DR-70D, and not the audio signal path.
Discuss.
