2. SD Card Support

Q: What type of SD card does my logger support?

Our logger-capable products (such as neoVI Series, RAD-Galaxy, RAD-Gigastar and others) support SD cards from 32 GB to up to 1 TB, specifically SDXC Class 10 (C10) cards. Units currently ship with a 64 GB card.

We strongly recommend using only Samsung or SanDisk cards, with the following tested models:

  • 1TB: SDSDXXD-1T00-GN4IN — SanDisk Extreme PRO SDHC™/SDXC™ UHS-I Card

  • 512GB: MB-MC512SA — Samsung EVO Plus, 512GB, UHS-I, U1, Class 10, 160MB/s

  • 256GB: MB-MC256SA — Samsung EVO Plus, 256GB, UHS-I, U1, Class 10, 160MB/s

  • 128GB: MB-MC128SA — Samsung EVO Plus, 128GB, UHS-I, U1, Class 10, 160MB/s

  • 64GB: MB-MC64SA — Samsung EVO Plus, 64GB, UHS-I, U1, Class 10, 160MB/s

Note

  • We do not guarantee proper operation with non-Samsung/SanDisk cards, or with slower class cards (even from Samsung/SanDisk).

  • Earlier units shipped with 32 GB cards (Lexar, Samsung, or SanDisk). Over 15 years of testing has shown other brands are often too slow, unreliable, or counterfeit.

Additional Notes

  • Many products use microSD-to-SD adapters. We secure the microSD in its adapter with Kapton tape to prevent vibration-related issues.

  • A standard laptop quick format is not sufficient. The logger writes a proprietary set of files to the card.
