I've been dealing with the weirdest problem during past week and half. I use two 64gb cards for my X3 -
a SanDisk Ultra and an ADATA Premier. Both had worked file recording 4K video for the 3-4 weeks I have had them.
That is until last week when first my X3 started sporadically stopping recordings, giving a 'SD card too slow, reformat recommended" error and lagging like crazy. When the problem first appeared, it was the ADATA that was being used, but the exact same issue appeared I switched to the SanDisk.
I tried every conceivable way to format the cards - using the DJI GO app, the SDFormatter mac app, formatting with Unix in fat32 & exfat with both table format settings, quick and low-level format.
Same thing every time - the camera starts normally, records for 3 or 4 minutes as expected, returns the "SD card formatting recommended" error, then starts lagging like crazy and dropping recordings after 10-15 seconds. It even lags severely when taking photos.
I did crash my I1 just a week or so before the first time the problem occurred, so at this point I was convinced my X3 or something downstream from it had gone kaput.
And then I decided to try out another card, just in case.
I got a 32gb ADATA (not sure what model it is, from the card itself, I can only make out its class 10), popped it in the X3 and all problems disappeared. No errors, no dropped recordings, no lagging, just like that.
I am now completely unsure of what to think. Any ideas?
