Hello everyone!
I just purchased the fantastic red beast and, looking around on the web, I'm trying to understand better the memory issues!

I have a few questions for you boys and girls:

- Do SD Cards or micro SDs have the same performance?
- Is it better a SDHC or SDXC or is it the same?
- What size do you suggest?
- Which speed is better or is there a maximum speed the MPC can exploit even if the card goes faster?

I guess anything must be saved on the card and not on the on-board memory and if you can answer and suggest some specific models, it would be perfect.

Thank you! :-D

MPC is the bottleneck. Cards will only go as fast as the MPC allows them (MPC isn't as fast as your cards maximum speed). Get whatever card you want.

Thank you @Lampdog ! And how much Is this maximum working Speed of the mpc for the cards?

Heads up!
ONE + won’t operate in controller mode without crashing with any storage connected to the mpc. So if you ever plan to work in controller mode you should stick to storage connected to computer
