I prefer the SanDisk Brand and have used only SanDisk since SD cards were introduced in GRE Scanners with never a problem and only changed cards once in 15 years. 32GB is the max size allowable for a TRX-2. Unless you record hits a class 10 works fine and if you can find less than 32 GB it will be plenty large enough for the TRX-2.

I use a Playstation 1 memory card, a full size one that cost something like $2 at stores bargain sale, that's the slowest and lowest memory you can get and works just as good as any other high grade SD card. The TRX-2 SD card handling are extremely slow so any card speed will work. But any card I use, even Sandisk 10 or EVO get file corruption when recording files, as there's something not right with the SD card interface. But it's just a couple of recorded files that gets corrupt, cannot be deleted, and a quick format solves it.

I used to get corrupted cards all the time with my 3 TRX-1's until I started to use the Pro Endurance type. I record to the card 24/7 and haven't had a corrupted card for over a year, and I am still using the same 3 original cards.
Make sure you power the radio off before removing the 5v power cord, and if connected to the computer, make sure you dismount the card first with the safely remove card operation.

+1 on the Pro Endurance. That is all I use on my radio stuff. Never had an issue with them.

The link provided above is a heck of a deal FYI.
