NOMAD OPERATIONS Recording Media

Compact Flash Cards
Currently there aren’t any cards that we are aware of that don’t work with Nomad. Though we recommend
SanDisk and Transcend cards. It is not necessary to use cards with “double write speed” features. Any cards,
4 - 128GB, should be fine. 133X cards are fine - a faster card will not make Nomad write any faster - the only
advantage of a faster card is faster downloads. Do not use cards from questionable manufacturers or buy
from questionable sources. Counterfeit cards do exist and can be unreliable and cause crashing.
If you are planning to record at 96 kHz, choose a card that claims 10 MB per second SUSTAINED write speed
(MAX write speed does NOT count).
Once you have the cards in hand, even if it is a brand/size that you have used in the past, test the cards
ability to keep up with the recording process before you take it out in the field. If the unit kicks out of
record or causes a crash it is most likely a result of bad media.
