Default PDR SD Card Size

The 2023 C8 manual only says "exFAT formatted SD card, Class 10 required, 16 GB or larger".

What is the largest SD you can use?

I put an 8GB card in that I found in my desk yesterday and it got full after about 60 minutes ( I use it as a dash camera recorder).

I just got a 128GB card from wally world today and put it in and it seems to work fine but have not recorded anything yet.

Because of exFAT I don't believe there is a practical limit. The PDR in the C7 was FAT32 which was limited to a max of 32gb.

This is what you want.
SANDISK for PDR in C8 SANDISK for PDR in C8
it needs to have the U3... the other U versions will not work. Remember the card will continue to record over your old data... But 8GB might be a bit small. i just stuck it in and it was ready to go, no formatting required.

By what measure does it seem to be working fine if you have not recorded anything yet?

I have a 512gb card. The first one I bought had issues, the 2nd one works fine. They were both the same class- first was a more generic card on Amazon, the 2nd is a SanDisk.

I use a San Disk 512GB. There are several threads on this subject. Several folks have reported using 1TB cars.

Make sure you purchase a "MAX ENDURANCE' card. It's designed for security cams etc that required numerous rewrites. Any "lesser" cards will fail prematurely, https://www.westerndigital.com/produ...QVR-256G-GN6IA

It recognized the card and knew what size it was.

Thanks for all the replies, I know what to look for now. At least I have 128GB to tide me over till I get a bigger one.

After 3 weeks still discovering new things about my C8 and loving it.

Edit: just ordered a Sandisk Extreme Pro 512GB SD card from Amazon. I'll use the 128GB for my music.
