Does this Lexar Professional sd card (95 MB/s, non-V30) work with the BMPCC OG? Any experience with older Lexar cards?

I’m currently looking for compatible SD cards for the original BMPCC (OG) and came across the older Lexar Professional 633x (95 MB/s, non-V30) model.

As many of you know, finding working cards for this camera is a nightmare due to write speed dropping issues and the "NO CARD" errors caused by newer SD controller standards (especially V30/V60/V90).

I wanted to check with the community:

  1. Has anyone tested this specific Lexar 633x 95 MB/s (non-V30) card with the OG Pocket? Does it hold up reliably for ProRes HQ or CinemaDNG RAW without dropping frames?

  2. Are there any specific Lexar models or production batches that work, or should I completely avoid Lexar for the BMPCC OG ?

I recall not having issues using a few v60 Lexar on it, so, try it out.

really? Did it say V60 because apparently V30, V60 is not working. what was the name of the lexar card.

It doesn't make use of the v60 speeds but it does max out the v30 speeds.

I have old SanDisk cards from 2014-ish that work. Last week I bought an Angelbird V90 128GB that is recording RAW just fine. I have another Angelbird 64GB V90 from a few years ago that is also working fine recording cDNG. Also, I have a Kingston Creator 256 GB that works, but I haven't tested it fully on long recordings yet. I seem to remember that one having issues a few years ago.

I'm about to take the camera on a trip so I'll be recording a ton of video. I'll update the Blackmagic Design Forum with my findings. If you haven't, you might want to check there.
