Show off your dashcam memory card install

I bought this same setup, but the Samsung 256GB is failing the speed test for me

You may have received a dud adapter or card.

Hey @jeeden

Thanks for starting this post, if you're up for it please add this petition link from @redantpile to the 1st post so we can get some traction using our dash cam memory for onboard USB audio as well.

Good call, got replacement from Amazon, and works. First one was a dud.

Slightly off topic, but when you download the GearGuard videos to the USB drive, and then want to view them on your computer, they show up in the GearGuard folder on the USB drive, right? I feel like something isn't working right on what I'm doing. I see the folder, but none of the videos I downloaded to it are showing up correctly.

Best Buy is having a sale on SanDisk Extreme portable SSDs. I think it ends today.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandis...-usb-c-nvme-ssd-black/6427550.p?skuId=6427550

I think a bunch of people on the forum have endorsed this model.
Pros: small, rugged, comes with a perfect short usb-c cord.
Cons: see this post

Unfortunately, it looks like these Sandisk Extreme SSDs may have been cheap for a reason:

If you have an $80,000+ truck and you may need the footage for an accident or other critical reason, don’t cheap out on a hard drive. Just my 10 cents, my two cents is free… -Eminem

Thanks for the heads up, just backed up my older 500GB drive that I don't use for the R1T

This is why I mentioned avoiding the 1TB Extreme model earlier. Also avoid all the "Extreme Pro" versions for now too.

Great recommendation - thank you!

Tried to duplicate this setup. However the 90 degree adapter seemed to be the problem. Removed it and put the Anker and SD card straight into the plug without issue. Frustrating since the 90 degree seemed to work fine when I hooked it all up to my Mac.

I'm on my 2nd one of these but 128GB and am failing the speed test on both. Guessing a bad batch or counterfeit.
