Thank you all! I am following your advice and in addition to SD cards I already own, I got a deal for a package of 8 SanDisk 64gb cards with up to 200mb read speed at $8 each. So I'm all carded up now! :)
Where did you get that deal, excellent price. I agree that multiple cards way to go. Have fun

It was on eBay and the seller just had 8 cards, new in the wrapper. I bought all 8. There's a new function, at least new to me, on eBay called make an offer. I think the seller was asking something like $12 each and I offered $8 and the offer was accepted.
Counterfeit, no doubt.

DVZ...I think that you are running a risk if that 512 fails no matter how often you are "lucky" with it. Four or five 128's or 64's will give you the security that you cannot deal with the challenge of the other.

What I do is use a fresh care every day (3 day trip 3 sd cards). I have my camera set that it uses 1gb of space per 100 shots on a sd card I use 8 or 16 gb cards when I shoot. I also have a 1tb Sanho Hyper Drive back up to down load off of sd cards.
I hope this will help.

Thank you. And thanks for the tip about testing cards. That's very odd that they would work on a D7200 and not a D500 but now I have been warned and so will test! :)
Sometimes they both work on the same card, but in 2 different folders. Many folks ignore additional folders on the same card.

Buyer beware! I have always shied away from the cheapest cards and just recently read that more often than not they are knock offs. I wish I could find that article but the one way I remember knowing how to tell, unfortunately after you buy it, is how big it really is you buy a 128gb and it formats as 64gb for example. Send it back.
