Hi: Welcome (I think) to the Forum. You've made some very infomrmed and valuable posts just this afternoon! I'm the OP so if this Reply is directed to me, then here we go:

Hybrid
Originally posted by Medium FormatPro ...Relating to the hard drive question (but not of use for "most" SSD's); how often do you de-frag?
Ad Hoc - when I sense load times are lengthening.
Originally posted by Medium FormatPro If there are a few topics of which I really know a lot about in this world, it's cameras and computers. And not to alarm anyone, but... I've observed a fair share of people that "run into issues" if they would elect to have 64 or 128 cards in teir cameras. For the average computer user, this would cause a real time issue (and also possibly cause computer issues) if needing to defrag those amounts of data once downloaded onto the hard drive.
So for this particular Pentax K-01 model I would most likely suggest either a 16 or 32 card. IF it might fill up too fast simply switch out the cards.
FWIW I bought 2 16Gb Cards that claim 30Mb/s transfer rate but don't claim UHS-1 support. On a pure price basis i feel good about that but I could have made a poor choice on a pure technical basis - which is why In originally opened this thread.
