Best SD card?

Has anyone done any tests with micro SD cards and have a recommendation on which ones will work for sure? I understand these things are sensitive with SD cards. I bought a brand new SanDisk Extreme plus 32 g formatted Fat32. Would not work at all. Later installed an old SanDisk ultra worked first try . I will attach an image of both. The MicroSD card on the top works great.

Hi!
This is answer for someone in the future.

At the picture two types of SD. Old card is for storing files, new card is for video.

The card for video is not working in Garmin devices.

Here is official…

Yup same one works for me. I actually just tried a second ultra and it worked fine to. Don't know why the Extreme Plus won't work.

Just bought an extreme plus. Didn't work when it had a space in the default name (NO NAME). Once I renamed it to something without a space, it worked find.

32gb Extreme (no plus & no spaces) formatted FAT32 works fine for me

I spoke too soon. It worked once, then it stopped showing up in OS or Basecamp. I've ordered an Ultra. We'll see how that works. Not a good initial experience with a $600 device.

Be grateful you don't have a Rino750, a history of random freezing on startup if SD installed - including Ultra. Needs the battery removed to free up. Once 66i is happy with your card it's fine.

I guess I have that going for me. I'll get some other cards and hopefully find one it likes.
