Yes it will work but, it's a USB device and as such will be quite slow. Painfully so I expect.

+ 32gb is nothing in scratch disk terms.

hey Craig, can i ask, why do you suggest the ATP cards? do you have reason to believe these will provide better results, or are you just suggesting that this is another avenue worth investigating?

i have never found any brand (of the 3 i've used), or any single card, to be completely reliable, though one "off-brand" that a producer supplied was noticeably worse than the others. so this has made me curious about the Hoodman cards, but that's really only because i haven't heard anything bad about them. unfortunately, for the longest time no one was really reporting any problems with the Transcends either, so an absence of negative reports hasn't proved indicative of problem-free recording. thus my question regarding the ATP cards....

thanks.

The ATP cards do seem to be reliable. I've been using them for about 4 months now with no problems. MxM also sell ATP cards via their site and an email from MxM published on this forum yesterday reveals the reason they chose ATP was because they've found them to be the most reliable combination with their adaptors. They claim reliability is on par with SxS.

MxM seem to suggest they have contacts at the ATP factory and, for now at least, the cards being produced are extremely consistent.
