SanDisk Endurance Video Monitoring Card

Two stars because it's a quality product that I have no major gripes with, other than it not being as durable as they say for dashcam use. I have consistently gotten more consecutive weeks of dashcam filming. (My dashcam runs continuously 24/7 because of the way my car is wired, and because dashcams generally all suck equally regardless of price so now I just buy the cheapest ones since I have to replace them every few months anyway, whether $20 or $200.) Anyway back to the card: Regular ("low-endurance"?) 128GB cards on Amazon last longer than this. I think it's because with double the capacity, you're writing over the whole thing 1/2 as much. And the high-endurance card, at half the capacity, isn't more than twice as durable. (In other words it doesn't last the same amount of time at half the capacity.) Maybe MORE durable, but not twice as much. Therefore, the 128gb lasts longer. But those also cost about $10 more. It would be interesting to do the math and compare $/useful hour of video. Maybe they'd be more comparable. That said, even if they are more comparable, since the 128gb simply lasts longer, it's less hassle. One more potentially useful observation, potentially in this card's favor: I notice that this card just quits working when it reaches the end of it's useful life. I'm guessing that the write speeds plummet as it wears, and eventually can't keep up with the incoming data stream, and balks. The dashcam sees this condition as "card full" (even if you reformat it). That may not be a bad thing. When the "regular" 128gb cards stop working due to wear, they still accept the incoming data stream, but write corrupt data. So your dashcam doesn't complain, and you aren't even aware that the video is useless. All in all, dashcam tech has a LOOONG way to go. I wish they didn't use microSD cards at all! (Why not a 2TB 2.5" laptop HDD in the glove box?) In the mean time, I just have to keep buying new dashcams and cards every few months.
