Older and some cheaper USB memory/SD cards/CF cards use slower memory components and little internal buffering which results in poor recording performance. A list of USB memory/SD cards/CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this unit is provided on the TEAC Global Site (http://teac-global.com/).
