Linus Media Group has relied on SD cards for over a decade when it comes to their video production pipeline. And while there are many advantages to them, they are also a ticking time bomb and could fail at any moment! Which is Why Glenn, Linus, and Adam took control to upgrade the ingest stations and swap these out for a newer form factor!

I can't get in my Head how and why you still used SD Cards in 2026 as a Professional Production Company. Using multiple FX6 Cameras, before that using, Blackmagic Cameras and RED Cameras, I never had tought that you cheaped out about the Storage Media in your Cameras. Thats the last thing where I would try to save money.
Jokes on you, my phone that I bought on 2023 (new 2020 model on sale) can't even read the SD card due to the sd card reader part of the sim tray being faulty haha…..๐ญ
I still don't understand why OPT for Compact Flash when a lot of modern cameras allow recording to ssds which would theoretically be longer lasting and transfers over usb c would alos provide the necessary performance
I use a samsung ssd with my blackmagic cinema 6k and it has been one of the most peaceful setups for me

SERVER UPGRADE!!
The goofy camera dept needs there own set videos there great!
Bring Back Colton! Make Colton great again!
UPGRADE THE SERVER!
17:00 I'm a guy that is a dude, but I'm a lefty that learned to use a mouse with his right hand because WASD is difficult to use with a left hand mouse. And let me tell you, I do not know how to use a mouse with my left hand
Perks of being a lefty
Yes those are too tiny and usb stick is easier to hold
Look at their soft boy shirts ๐
I've had luck getting sharpie off a whiteboard by going over it in proper white board marker, the rubbing it off, might take two or three goes but it's worked enough I encourage others to try it!
Those Lexar pro docks seem insane af. But behind the scenes, it sounds like it's just a glorified USB/Thunderbolt hub? Similar to your tentacle octocharger setup thingy? Anyway, crazy stuff!
Bro I like that asian dude he's cool
Server room re-re-re-re-re-re-re-redo
9:03 Thatโs almost definitely Ubiquiti. Thereโs a bug in their system requiring you to sign in literally every single hour. I think a fix will be out soon, though. At least on the web interface, particularly for the local only connections. Itโs super annoying.
Idk why it has "biblically accurate" SD card vibes
@5:44 omg Adam's shirt is incredible
They could have kept the cf card slot and put an adapter in by default. But nooooo
Is this the sequel to the SD rant in the Undone studio tour from like 3 years ago? ๐
I definitely agree though so I've been swapping to cfexpress in my new camera (r5 mark ii) which should be a little better (?)
wouldn't be better to start building a new camera with no sd card and just nvme 2230 slot?
small, compact, faster, probably even cheaper and with more room than sd cards (they sounds obsolete to me)
I think the problem is that the price went from kind of expensive to absurd over the course of like 6 months. I have a Hasselblad X2D II and Sony a7R VI and I still donโt want to buy CF express cards
First time?
Can you comment on meta PC plz
The editing on this was goated
Create a seperate pool on the server for ingest and set up cascading copy jobs from there to the editing server.
If you also create a lifetime on the ingest pool, everything getโs deleted from there after 3-5 days for example, clearing up room for more cards
unifi console is asking me to relogin every time since last time my udm got a software update
I wish my spaceship had more bays for its dock…1st world problems…
We are your just not in the iPod modding community
Or you could regularly backup your SD Cards to hard drives and cloud network for safety.
Sharpie is ridiculously easy to clean off a whiteboard.
Sounds like Linus is sick of his sloppy employees ๐๐๐๐
Why it says pin comment 1 gay ago and video 13 hours ago?
Geez, what a tool. What's the revenue per employee over there, and he has the gall to complain that you dare to occasionally have some fun at your jobs that wasn't an activity dictated by him? How does this guy keep anyone working for him?
To me SD Cards are just Temporary and you do not buy many, only replacements of the few you really need
Back-up, Back-up, Back-up, the first thing you learn, 3 back-ups stored off-site
You donโt back up your video?
Saily – Scamsy. Check out your sponsors!
yo dude with yellow tshirt is a UNIT
I am watching this why having sleep deprived and I think this is the best way to fully enjoyed it.
WHY NOOOOOT?
Ayy Teracopy!
I'm ambidextrous with using a mouse, but not for the joke reason Adam made. My dad was left handed, and had the mouse on the computer set up on the left side so I had to use a lefty mouse as a child
I believe you could use robocopy to improve transfer performance (and reliability) compared to using file explorer. Less user friendly initially but you could set up some transfer scripts to simplify it. If that's a valid solution to the workflow it may be worth a shot. That's how I've personally copied files off drives into Windows machines in the past after getting frustrated with file explorer crashing during transfers
love this type of video. the random shenanigans with the crew are what I'm here for
CF died as it was too feavile… The pins in the camera, esoecislly Canon and Pentax, broke all the time. Some even came out eith the card.
I don't think the majority of memory card corruption/failures are from just wearing out of the drive tbh. So knowing the "health" of the drive isn't that useful.
The only thing I would recommend would be redundant recording in the camera to two cards and keeping the backup card untouched and if you loose footage on one card read the data from the second card from the actual camera as half of the time the corruption is caused by moving the card from one card interface (the camera) to another (sd card reader).
