Need recommendations for 64/128gb card for 9665gc

[Damn Dirty Ape]

I'd like to upgrade the 32gb card in my 9665gc to a 64 or maybe 128. Can I get some suggestions from the SG guys please?

thank you

128gb cards can't be formatted in the camera which is a bit inconvenient, I have used 128gb PNY cards formatted appropriately, @wozzzzza uses 128gb cards as well but I don't recall which brand, 64gb cards would probably be better though, you can get MLC based memory and can also format in camera

Lexar 633x is the best brand card.

NOV2015 Update:
We are now testing new firmware that has new native 128GB support. (can format 128GB microSD in the camera)

I using a Kingston 64GB microSD XC in mine without any issues whatsoever. Make sure that you buy from somewhere reputable, there are many fakes out there on eBay!

I've been using a Transcend 64GB and PNY 64GB in my 2 GC's since early summer with no issues.

I use a Kingston and transcend 128gb card.

Here is the special FAT32 format utility for those that want to use 128GB

(Use 32768 allocation size)

32GB/64GB should be formated inside the camera itself.

I am using a Sony SR64UYA without any issues so far.

64Gb Lexar 300x works fine.

Ive been using the 64Gb Lexar 633x with no problems

going with the 128gb route, what brand would you recommend? (ignore price, just want the most reliable)

1. Lexar 633x
2. PNY
3. Samsung Evo
4. Transcend

 

[Street Guardian USA]

I generally tell people to avoid Sandisk (red/gray) and Samsung (Evo).

1. Lexar 633x
2. Transcend (any)
3. PNY

the only 128gb I've used personally is PNY

Same here, PNY was the only affordable 128GB microSD card for awhile, not sure about today's prices though for alternatives

I guess I'll go with PNY.

Maybe something has changed but I thought the loop recording only works with 32gb, so if you are using that to record it doesn't make sense to use anything higher.

Why would you want a 64gb or a 128gb?

loop works on any size the camera supports

loop recording means it records multiple video clips one right after another until the card is full. Once the card is full the oldest video clip is overwritten by the newest one.

If you have 64GB, it will hold twice as many video clips as the 32GB before recycle/looping begins.
128GB is 4x as much.

Do you find it really necessary to record more than 32gb of data?

If you want to capture a whole entire road trip, some people prefer 64/128 (some businesses like to record the entire work day)
If you only care about capturing a single event, 32GB is plenty
