Sandisk Serial Number Format

Just a heads up, for anyone looking at still picking up the older BMPCC. I have tested 7 SD Cards, oddly the cards that do NOT work are the cards recommended by Blackmagic as supported. I need to confirm this one but the irony is that the NEWER SanDisk Extreme Pro cards are not supported, with v30 designation, format all you wish, 'No Card' error will be there. I was able to get RAW working on an old SanDisk Extreme 60MBs before v30. It is sad as the older cards no no longer made are skyrocketing in price oddly and basically eliminated RAW shooting on the camera unless you find very old SD Cards.

Product Code and Serial Numbers Location. Serial Number is required for product registration. Solid State Drive (SSD) Extreme PRO CF (160MB/s only). Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Is the seller of record and licensee in the Americas of SanDisk® products. Just look to the front of the card,down the 32GB numer must appear the serial number printed, the microSD 32GB counterfeits does not have this serial number. Here a photo, look to the serial number, if your card does not have any is a fake, in such case please send an email to brandprotection@sandisk.com with all the ebay seller info, nick or id, item number, links.etc.

I tried a 64GB, 2 different brand new 128GBs, and a 256GB v30 Extreme Pro, all read 'No Card'. Is there any way to roll out just 1 more simple firmware update to allow cards to still be used for RAW?? I had a Lexar even work, ProRes only but the hilarity that the exact card recommended was not, even Amazon did not know there was a difference.

Perhaps if BM can pick a 16GB v30 up to test and see??? If anything I wanted to give a warning to any BMPCC users that if you got the SanDisk Extreme Pro as requested by BM, make sure you get the older version, a non-v30 designation. I had my friend send me a pick of his that worked great, the only difference.no tiny v30 written on his cards.

And it is confirmed. V30 Extreme Pros do NOT work.

Also, be careful, Amazon may have the correct model number listed but they sent me the new version 4 times, with 5 v30 cards all tested, formatted 64GB, two 128GBs and 2 256GBs.all NO CARD. Trafareti i shabloni mashinokkorablikov. I went to B&H, They confirmed the model number, alas these are running out of stock asap and they had a 512GB only of this model.

I had no choice and if I wanted RAW I felt these would become even rarer so I picked it up. Was delivered today. SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 1 Model# SDSDXP-512G-A46 Formatted on my computer, put into BMPCC.turned it on and BAM!!!!! 'Ready' It read the card immediately, so yes, you need a specific model number of the SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card. If it says v30.it will not work.

Non V30 SKU is SDSDXPA-256G - Should work fine 256GB version Extreme Pro V30 SKU is SDSDXXG-256G - Guaranteed will not work.notice the 'SDSDXX' The difference??? Apparently the v30 has a rated minimum sustained write speed of 30MB/s, you would think BMPCC would crave that. I know have over 2 hours of RAW on my Card.whatever. You're absolutely right.

However the board may be designed for the SPI chip to be programmed before it is soldered soldered. To get a good quality signal, you probably have to drive the signals harder then the existing chips. Spi serial flash programmer schematic drawings. If you drive them externally, you have two outputs working against each other. * The existing in-system driver software may be able to disconnect (tri-state) the normal driver chips if the device is to be programmed. Therefore you are likely to damage the existing signal driver chips.

SanDisk and retailers consider the newer V30 cards to be interchangeable with the older non-V30 cards. Even the listing on Amazon and other sites for the older cards (for $20 more than the newer ones!) actually ship the newer ones. After 4 attempts and multiple inquiries with other sellers, I have been unable to acquire one of the older non-V30 cards. My PNY SDXC works fine up to ProRes LT, but I would like to be able to record HQ even if I can't do RAW. Do you know of any cards that can reliably record up to HQ?

I've been in contact with BMD and they say they're going to get in contact with SanDisk about the changes between the two versions, so hopefully they can fix the compatibility issues with a firmware update. The list of recommended media are only for cards that can shoot 4K DCI Lossless RAW 24 fps, 1080p Lossless RAW 60 fps, 4K DCI 4:1 RAW 60 fps, and 4K DCI ProRes HQ 60 fps. That doesn't mean that you can't use other cards to shoot in other modes. If you want to shoot lossless 1080p RAW at 30fps then of course you can use the UHS-I SanDisk Extreme Pros just like you could on the original BMPCC. In fact you can shoot up to 4:1 RAW 4K DCI 24 fps on those cards and they can most likely record around 100 fps in 1080p 4:1. Edit: Oops, should have read your whole post.
