A heads-up that the Samsung Pro 32Gb cards are currently dirt-cheap at Micro Center ($16), run at 90/50 read/write nominally, and don't seem to crash my M.

I'll post the numbers, but in my BlackMagic testing the other night, it was very slightly (as in 2-3Mb/sec) faster than the Sandisk 95Mb/sec model we all know and love. The micro SD version of the Samsung, which I bought for a Surface was actually even faster (and surprisingly, also did not crash the camera when used with the included adapter).

But the principal advantage of this card is that it is bright white and not likely to be confused with an empty slot or the bottom of a camera case - as seems to happen a lot under stress. Now if only someone could make brightly colored M240/246 batteries...
