I have had Card Errors with only Sandisc, both 2g and 4g cards.  Sandisc has replaced the cards (6 cards) twice now and they still give me the Card Err warning.  I have been staying away from Sandisc becauce of the Card Err and because of lost shows where the card looked to be working fine but was not.  I'm using Lexar 2g 133x, Kingston Elite 2g 80x, PNY 2g and Ridata 2g 80x without any issues at all.

So is this stuff contagious or something?  I ran my Sandisk 4 gig card both nights at the Mule this weekend with no problems.  Now all of a sudden I am seeing card errors.  Sometimes everything loads up fine.  Other times it errors out.

WTF?

I got a 1GB Sandisk and have no problems. Although I haven't used it but about 4 times. Everything else is on a 4GB Kingston which has never given me problems. I got a 2GB Kingston coming soon.

I think it is a Sandisk issue, sometimes the work, sometimes they don't...

I just ordered 2 Lexar Platinum II 2 gig 80x cards.  Hope they work - I need to get something other than the Sandisk before Ratdog on Monday, and it was what B&H had in stock that is a Marantz recommended brand.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

is there any way to save a recording on my flash card when the 660 is saying that it cant be copied because it is corrupt and unreadable? the file plays back on the 660 fine...this sucks.

Now explain how everyone who is having card problems ... DO you delete the whole card at once or do you just delete the files  that are in the folder that says MPGLANG1(as those are the wav files that you recorded  ).. the other 2 folders that say PMD660.CPY  folder  and the one that says PMD660.EDL folder................. I DO NOT delete any of the folders  or even open the other 2 ,i just delete the seperate wav files in the MPGLANG1 folder  & never touch the other folders on the card ...  Mike

I've never had a card error.

I use a 1GB Sandisk, 4GB Kingston...just purchased a 2GB Kingston.

I delete tracks and occassionally reformat only using the 660. I have a 20GB photo card reader harddrive but it only reads, so you can't erase the files on the card. No computer card reader here.

Sorry, I can't help as I've never had this problem....now if your having battery issues.

I reformat the card in the PMD660 before each use.

I delete the tracks through the menu of the pmd660. I have 2 2gig sandisc ultra II cards that have been working perfeclty since March of this year. Although after reading these responses I'm hoping that doesn't change when I tape this weekend!

Lexar Platinum II 2 gig 80x

Cards arrived today.

Noise level checked out fine.

Sound checks in the living room look good.

Runs fine on battery power.

Boot up is where I was seeing the occasional card error with the Sandisk Blue 4 gig card.  Put the unit through about 30-40 on off cycles with the Lexar and no errors so far.

Looking good on all the preliminary tests.

Will report from the field after Ratdog on Monday.

I typically delete files when the card is in the card reader on my computer.  Occasionally I "reformat" in the 660.  Very rarely I delete tracks through the 660 menu.  I've never had a card or file related problem.  I have 512MB and 1GB SanDisc cards, regular and Ultra.

I have my doubts that the 660 "reformat" truly rebuilds the filesystem or just deletes everything.  At one time I put a card with a linux filesystem (ext2 probably, maybe ext3) in the 660, and it would not reformat the card.

I tend to doubt that most formats actually "zero" the entire card.  I feel pretty certain the PMD660 does not because I really doubt it could do a complete "zero" in the time it takes to format the card.

But I don't really see why that would matter. 

I am a lot more inclined to think that what people are seeing is differences between controllers.

If that is true then it becomes very hard to generalize what "works" and what does not.  A Sandisk 1 gig card and a Sandisk 4 gig card are almost certain to have different controllers.
