Be careful buying micro SD memory cards

Timely.

My new 360 camera and the file sizes it produces have me looking for the most storage I can get on one card and/or an external solid-state HD that has a built-in card reader that I can also access with my iPad via a network so I can verify files are saved...

My thought is that I don't really want to make the camera another $150 more expensive if I lose it, nor do I want to rely on all my files being on it when it goes missing either. Seems like the better spend might be the lower cost/volume card(s) and the HD that I can keep better control of.

Remember to always format memory cards on your PC before use, preferably a deep format. And then again in the device if it supports formatting.
