What speed SD card for D600??

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Currently using a PNY 16GB 80MB/S SD card I had lying around for another project. However,it is a tad flaky(one or two images seem to get corrupted on either my S95 or D600),so looking to get a new card.

Now what speed is really useful?? 45MB/S? 60MB/S? 90MB/S?

Thinking of getting a Lexar Professional 60MB/S or 90MB/S 32GB card,and perhaps another later on so I can mirror them both.

Any better or cheaper alternatives??

Transcend is great bang for buck, been using them for years!

Thanks!

I ordered one of the Transcend Ultimate cards:

with speed on SD cards, remember that like all flash memory, it gets slower the more you use it, get's stressed by endlessly keeping it fairly full and re-writing it. (Ie if you had a 16gb card, and 12gb of data you always keep there, and are writing / deleting 4gb of data, you will wear out that card much faster).

Oh, it's only the writes that I count as 'using it'.

Hey Cat-The-Fifth bit late since you already ordered a card here's some other brands to look at without being crappy next time would be for me Sandisk, Samsung, Kingston, Lexar, Transcend and possibility of Sony.

Pretty much all of them make there own chips rather than buying memory chips and only making the card my top 3 are Sandisk using for years no issues, Samsung they do pretty much all memory chips in mobile phones like iPhone etc and Lexar as I always see them being recommended or used along with Sandisk.

I've got a Sandisk Extreme 45MB's 8gb in my Sony DSLR its been great for me.
