Description
The TSQD-128A is a 128GB SDXC memory card engineered for stable, reliable recording on TASCAM products – it is verified and preformatted by TASCAM to ensure out-of-box readiness. This card is intended to deliver consistent recording performance and predictable behaviour under repeated random-access conditions. Its design focuses on minimizing write-speed degradation that can affect continuous audio and multitrack workflows.
Key features include UHS-I bus support, UHS Speed Class 3 and Video Speed Class V30 certification, and an Application Performance Class A2 rating. The card delivers up to 95MB/s read and 85MB/s write speeds and uses control ICs selected for resistance to random access degradation. TASCAM performs compatibility testing and pre-shipment checks to ensure stable operation across supported devices.
Technical performance highlights are a maximum read speed of 95MB/s and maximum write speed of 85MB/s with guaranteed minimum sustained write class corresponding to 30MB/s. Electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and an operating temperature range of -25 C to 85+ C. Physical dimensions are 24 W x 32 D x 2.1 H mm and the card weighs approximately 2 g.
Connectivity and compatibility are straightforward – the TSQD-128A follows the SDXC and UHS-I standards and works in other SDXC-compatible devices beyond TASCAM recorders. The card arrives pre-formatted and checked to reduce setup time and to ensure immediate compatibility with TASCAM gear and most devices that support SDXC and UHS-I specifications. The card does not implement CPRM copyright protection.
Typical use cases include multitrack field recording, long-form stereo recording, and high-sample-rate archival capture where sustained write stability is required. The card supports PCM WAV recording and DSD file storage on compatible TASCAM devices, and its sustained write guarantees help prevent dropouts during continuous sessions. It is also suitable for backup media and media rotation workflows used in production environments.
Installation and handling are simple – insert the card into any compatible SDXC slot and the preformatted state will minimize initial setup procedures. The selection of fixed, approved components and TASCAM pre-shipment checks help ensure consistent performance across production batches. The card is compact, lightweight, and built to endure repeated insertions and professional field use.
