Old wives tale!
I've been using a regular microsd for 3yrs now and have no issues.

i am using one from my dash cam that gave up a week ago and running fine.
its kingston 32 gb

Haven't 32 gb micro sd cards been the same price for like the last 3 years? I want to pay $15 for a 64 gb.

find me one and ill buy too
too bad the Yi cam only have a max of 32gb

Can add a little slower one (not A1 rated) if you need to bring the average cost down if you need two.

SanDisk Ultra microSD cards are specifically not recommended by most dashcam manufacturers, apparently because they acquired a bad reputation for early failure in dashcam forums. While they use the same TLC flash memory as other cards, it was speculated that Sandisk may have used tighter criteria for allowed write failures than other manufacturers, causing them to fail earlier in the continuous-writing dashcam application. It may also be partly that dashcam use voids the Sandisk warranty.

While high-endurance microSD cards are recommended for dashcam use, note 2 things:

1. The Sandisk "high endurance" cards do not claim to use MLC flash memory like all the other high-endurance cards, so they may still be using TLC.

2. A bigger card is always better for endurance, because it will be overwritten less often. Therefore a cheaper bigger card may actually serve better for a dashcam than an expensive smaller higher-endurance card.

I bought this the other day:

Sure its more expensive, but its recommended by this guide:

is this better? not an expert on this

Would this be good for a switch?

I think a microSD card's life depends on how much the card gets used.

A regular Sony microSD lasted 3 months in my TP-Link IP camera, in 24-hour recording mode. I am looking out for Amazon's high endurance microSD deals.

Another regular microSD (Kingston) has been in my dashcam for 15 months and is still fine. But it works only 20 minutes per day, and 1-2 hours max during weekends.

got one, thanks OP!!
gonna use this for storing games for my DS

It is not an old wives tale. Some regular micro SD cards were not designed for constant writes such as dashcam usage. They will work but chance of failure is higher after extended usage, with results varying from brand to brand.

If you want to stick with regular micro SD due to cost, buy a larger one to help lower failure rate.

32GB going on the 3rd year.
What's the threshold?

Can’t add it to my cart

$19.70 from amazon now
and $18 from a third party seller

FYI. I tried to add it to my cart but wouldn't let me and now the price went up to 19.70.
Deal dead?

why not just buy the Adata U-1 ones from Canada Computers for $13.88?
