What would you want CFexpress or SD cards for the next batch of Cameras?

In my work, I don't reformat a card until I've delivered the job to the client. That's a hard and fast rule that has saved my butt more than once.

How do you do backups? I have 2 external drives everything goes on. I off load to one, edit and clone to drive 2. I have google drive that is always active in the background so any changes to drive 1 it uploads changes on the fly. If I delete anything on the drive, google pops up a window asking if I also want to delete the file on their cloud drive. So even if I make a mistake it lets me know. No need to worry about losing work. I off load, give time for my upload to complete and can format cards without worry. Having a drawer full of cards seems crazy to me.

I initially simultaneously download cards into a "Working" M.2 NVMe drive on my computer and a DAS hard drive (I use a downloading application that automatically builds folders on both drives and downloads the card to the newly created RAW folder, while renaming the files to my convention).

At some point over the next couple of days, the DAS drive is backed up to an on-premises NAS (RAID 6). At some other point during the week, it's backed up to a second on-premises RAID 6 NAS.

Also during the week, the first NAS will back up to the second NAS. And also during the week, both NAS units will back up to individual Backblaze B2 buckets.

But I still keep the original files on the card until I've delivered the job to the client.

Cards get lost. Cards go bad. Stuff happens to cards. At current prices, cards are the the least expensive of the absolutely necessary items.  There's no point being cheap with memory cards.
