Memory & Storage FAQs
What type of memory card is best for 4K video recording?
For 4K and high-resolution video, UHS-II SD cards or high-speed microSD cards with fast write speeds ensure smooth recording without dropped frames. (Is there a reason you didn’t suggest CF cards here?)
Should I choose an SSD or an HDD for photo and video storage?
SSDs offer faster performance and durability, making them ideal for active workflows and frequent file access. HDDs provide larger capacities at a lower cost, making them great for long-term storage and archiving.
How do I safely back up my photo and video files?

A dual-storage approach is recommended: use a high-speed memory card for active shooting and back up files to an external SSD or (you might also want to suggest redundant storage- 2 external hard drives each having the same files on them) HDD for long-term security.
