C200: The 512GB CFast card error dance

I'm used to the dance with 512GB cards on the C200 where you remove and re-insert the card a few times until the the "Check CFast card" message disappears and it's ready to record.

I've read this is a C200 specific problem, which is fine, but wondering if 256GB CFast cards have the same issue?

I'm looking to put the C200 in an underwater housing where I won't have ready access to the card slot to do the dance for every "power on", so if dropping to a 256GB card will solve this issue then that'll work fine.

If this is sorted, any 256GB brand preferences? I'm using Angelbird 512 GB AV PRO CF which apart from the error dance have been solid.

Thanks all, Mark.

No issues with mine, I haven't seen the check cfast card message either.

More info in these threads, but I'd just get the egodisk and not think about it anymore:

Ah that's rad, I'll get a few of the EgoDisks. I remember reading through that thread a year ago but got lost in the 'maybe, should work' reports - real world feedback is always the best.

Much appreciated Rob! Beers are on me if you're down Adelaide way.
