[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 686123, member: 8330"] You might want to double check the D610 max SD card size. It might only handle up to a 64GB card. Having a ton of SD cards might be the best solution. Figure out how much you plan to shoot and see if 10-15 cards would serve your purpose. I had a similar situation last year and ended up going with a WD 3TB MyPassport Wireless Pro (similar to a Gnarbox). It was probably less than $200. I had it configured to insert SD card and auto download all the videos off the card. It turned out that I had plenty of cards so I ended up keeping all the data on the cards and just dumping the contents onto the drive as a redundant backup. If you go that route, I strongly suggest you take the time to properly set it up and test it often. Test inserting the card and watching to see when ALL the data is done copying. Check out how it works, for instance if you "dump" a card for data and then use the card to take more pictures without deleting the old pics, and then dump it back to the WD drive will you have duplicates? You need to check out all those scenarios. In the end I could have survived with just all of my memory cards and done without the WD 3TB device and I haven't used it since. It was nice to know that all my data was on the cards AND on the 3TB drive but ultimately unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
