Hi this may be of interest to those who like me are using the first X1D MkII cameras.
best wishes!

Dear Partner,
In order to guarantee the best possible X1D II 50C user experience, end users must additionally purchase SD cards in order to start using the camera immediately. For optimal image capture, the following SD memory cards are currently recommended to use:
Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-II 300MB/s
Panasonic V90 UHS-II 280MB/s
Toshiba EXCERIA PRO UHS-II 270MB/s
SONY M UHS-II 260MB/s
Note: Avoid using Micro SD/TF memory cards with SD card sets. Some Sony high-speed G UHS-II SD 300MB/s memory cards might have poor compatibility, and therefore, might not be able to write image data properly. To avoid this, it is recommended to use the recommended SD memory cards, as listed above, to ensure the image data security.
We are currently testing other cards and will update you with further information when available. Please inform all X1D II customers about this and contact your Hasselblad Sales Representative if you have any questions.
Great. I purchased some Sony G UHS-II SD Cards several weeks ago to use in my X1D II. They worked fine in my X1D I.
I am using two Sony Tough G 128GB SD cards in my MkII without any issues so far, fingers crossed, hope I haven't jinxed myself.
The "1667x" Lexars do just fine.
The higher speed cards are pretty expensive. I guess there is no issue with the older UHS-I cards. The Sandisk 128gig are only $39.95 at B&H.
I have the Lexar 2000x and the Sandisk Extreme Pro in the camera.
Surprisingly, the Sandisk is almost never reading in the camera, but definitely reading in my computer when I connect it.
Do the X1D-1 and X!D-2 Cameras both support the SD-II cards with tow rows of electrical contacts?

Only X1D II 50C supports UHS-II.
Since UHS-II is backward compatible you can use a UHS-II card in the mark I but the card will work only as fast as a UHS-I card.
I found that Lexar 1000x cards work fine. Once in a 100 shots you'll get a slow card warning, but overall they are fine. I like that since each firs about 300 shots, a good unit, and I use all cards as a negative, write once, lock and store after ingestion. So they are cheaper to buy in bulk.
Also Lexar Professional UHS-II 2000x work fine so far...
I'm running a pair of 128 GB Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-II 300MB/s cards (Backup mode) without issue.
I am having issues with Lexar 1000x 128GB 150MB/s cards. After about 50 frames, the camera reports it cannot access storage and require a restart. This is consistent across 4x cards.

Is this with X1D or X1DII? Your signature says that your X1DII is on order.
With the X1D II, forgot your change my profile.
Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB UHS-I cards work just fine :)
Best regards,
Vieri
while waiting for my X1D-II to arrive, I have two questions:
- anyone tried Angelbird V60 or V90 SD cards with the X1D-II? I'm a pro videographer and I rely on that brand for my storage (SSDs, Cfast, etc.) but I was wondering for this camera if everything is ok
- how many raw photos fit approximately in a 64 and in a 128 GB card? just a ballpark number..
thanks!
This is an old thread, but I'm just leaving it here that Lexar 2000x SD Cards give me issues on an X1D II as well. It sometimes shows the "cannot access storage" error, needing a restart to fix it. But also I've noticed that the camera takes much more time to be ready to shoot when turning on.
Using a SanDisk Extreme card fixes these issues.
Same here with the Lexar cards and the "canonot access etc, etc)
Which specific sandisk did you use to find the fix?

Never had any problems with my Lexar cards.
I've tried a couple of SanDisk Extreme Pro, these are on the slower side, one at 95Mbs other at 180mb/s, but found no issues so far.

For my x1d ii I ordered and use the current second fastest sandisk card in 64g size, the extreme pro with 280 write, 180 read and UHS II
Seems very fast and no problems
For my x1d, i did use some older sandisk and lexar cards with <90 speed and I kept getting warning messages saying that the SD card was too slow, although it seemed to record the images correctly.

I had similar intermittent problems with my then brand new 907x CFV 50 – "failed to access storage. Please restart the camera" – a year ago using both an Integral UHS-II V90 and a Sandisk Extreme Pro (also UHS-II V90) card. Both cards met the approved spec of the camera. The problem was unpredictable but occurred often enough to be a real nuisance. It also involved the loss of files in the buffer so I raised the matter with The Pro Centre who were good enough to replace the camera. Whilst waiting for the replacement (which took a couple of months), the only apparently completely reliable solution I found was to use the Sandisk card in slot 2 of the camera. I also found that using much older non-UHS-II cards seemed to be fine (though I had to turn off the "slow card warning" in the settings). I have no idea whether there was a specific hardware fault in my camera or whether the firmware is not robust generally in terms of compatibility with the UHS-II V90 spec but my replacement camera has been fine with a Sandisk Extreme PRO card (SDHC UHS-II Class 10 V90 U3). It's the only card I use because I'm a bit paranoid about using another and getting the "cannot access storage" problem again.
Please understand that while the history of flash memory development is murky, it was Eastman Kodak (my former employer) and Lexar who made the first CF in early 2000x. The Lexar was later owned by Micron, which sold the brand name (not the technology, not the patents, not the manufacturing, just the label) to some Chinese shack. In it's present incarnation Lexar has nothing to do whatsoever with the stuff from pre-2019. Don't walk, run away from it!
For crucial projects I have a fast 64gb Sandisk card, with a Lexar as the back up second card. No issues.
For my leisure, personal shots, on and off for about 12 months now, I have two 128gb Lexar cards and again, no issues at all.
