I find most expensive, or well known brands, work. Normally, if they 
format for SD1, then I usually have no more problems with them. If they 
don't format, they will never format.

Cheap brand HD disks, were less likely to format. A big box of 500 
Staples HD disk, had close to a 50% fall out rate, and I returned them 
to Staples.

Hope this helps.
