Wondering if anyone has tested this card with the GH2. According to this post, it tested up to 65Mbs read speed and 40Mbs write speed in CrystalDiskMark, which theoretically should let it run the highest bitrate patches. It also sells for about the same as the SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB 95Mb/s cards.

Where are they selling this card presently?

This looks like the card I've been waiting for. Nice find. Hopefully someone here will validate the card using the GH2's highest bitrate hacks.

Under which theory will this card perform well in the GH2? Those speed test numbers are for the card operating in UHS mode. The GH2 doesn't support UHS mode.

@balazer What then is the criteria for success with the GH2 in terms of specs?

balazer

There are no memory card specs that ensure success in the GH2.

spacewig

Lovely. So its buy & try then cry if it doesn't work I guess ....

The only thing that matters is minimum write speed. And guessing that seems to be some hoccus poccus and little bit of luck.

Buy it and let us know if the fucker works in the GH2! LOL

@proaudio4 I just ordered the 64 gig model which has the same specs. I'll see if it survives the Driftwood test from hell.

I just got the 64 gig class 10 card that has the same specs as the 128. (50mb)

Flow Motion 2.2 will not span on H but will on L

CM Night on L will not even start to record.

This is a little slower than a Sandisk 45mb class 10. IMO, it's useless.

@peternap Thats some pretty bad news for the card. I was considering buying the 128GB one and giving it a try. Since its sold from Amazon, I could return it if it didn't work well. You never know, the 128GB may fare differently than the 64GB. I know for the Sandisk 95MBs cards, there is a difference between the 64GBs and 32/16/8GB cards. So who knows. If I have extra money I will give it a try next month

peternap

@sanzadez That's true and it may work well. I don't trust SD and the bigger they are, the less I trust them. I'm not sure I agree with some of the testers about the 64 gig 95mb. I have 64 and 32 Sandisk 95mb and I've found that in camera results are the same with both.

But as you said, it's returnable. I've already printed the label.

@peternap Newegg has a promotion on Patriot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220665&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL071212&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL071212--EMC-071212-Index--FlashMemory-_-20220665-L015D

Is this the same card you bought?

peternap

@tinbeo Yep, same card!

Howdy, Stranger!
