⚡️⚡️ UPDATE: Nov 13, 2020 ⚡️⚡️
Samsung's Pro Endurance remains our top pick for its performance and value. Sandisk's High Endurance U3 card is our new runner-up endurance pick. It's cheaper than Samsung with slightly reduced reliability and a lower 2-year warranty. Great value.

OUR TOP PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM
We use affiliate links below to good retailers. Our reviews are not paid advertisements and our choices are made only after many hours of research and hands-on testing. Also, all products are purchased at full retail price to reduce bias.
1️⃣ 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE | BEST CHOICE
Has the highest lifespan rating, 3-year warranty and a price drop in April makes it a great value.
• Amazon USA: amzn.to/2Vm0xwP
• Amazon UK: amzn.to/2Q4gXZN
• Amazon CAD: amzn.to/2Vj5Ddq | Not sold directly by Amazon, shipped out of USA but is the best seller I could find and the one I used. Alternatively, buy on Amazon USA and use their global shipping option.
• Amazon INTL: geni.us/64ProEnduranceAmazon
• B&H: bhpho.to/2QkoUKJ
2️⃣ SANDISK HIGH ENDURANCE | RUNNER UP
Sandisk's new High Endurance line now replaces the Samsung EVO Plus/Select & Ultra A1 as our top budget pick. They have a longer warranty, counterfeiting issues are fixed and the price is very similar to our previous picks. As well reliability has been confirmed by manufacturers like Street Guardian.
Amazon: geni.us/64SandiskHighEndurance
3️⃣ 128GB+ SAMSUNG EVO PLUS/SELECT & SANDISK ULTRA A1
No longer our budget capacity picks. There are no cost or performance savings compared to Sandisk's 2019 High Endurance lineup. The following is just for your reference.
• Sandisk A1: geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon
• EVO Select: geni.us/128SamsungSelectAmazon | Amazon Exclusive Card
• EVO Plus: geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon | Not sold directly by Amazon, better to get it other places or in brick and mortar stores if it's on sale.

GET A BACKUP CARD
We recommend drivers purchase a second (16-32GB) SD card for emergencies and leave it in the car. You can swap cards and keep recording without overwriting important footage. As well you’ll be protected in case your current card has any problems.

Thank you very much! Your review helped me make the right choice! Greetings from Russia!
@Carcamcentral is it possible to do a review on the Vantrue pro memory card it a popular dash camera company who has one of the best dash cameras for the money im using the Vantrue N4 PRO Dash camera but wondering if there 256 memory card is worth buying obviously they highly recommend it being used with there dash cameras, but its a 49$ memory card but I'm wondering if its better than the others considering its made for a dash camera specifically or will I be fine and save by just buying the Samsung high endurance.

Hasn't the Sandisk Max Endurance been proven yet?
I would like to buy the 128GB version.
Great content! Keep up the good work.
Would buy for a Viofo camera.
*Nice **Newest.Technology** cameras, superior to XT2 design, included Mount is much better.Note, these are slightly larger in size than the XT2, and don’t fit into enclosures designed fir the XT2. I tried them ...*
*Best dash cam reviewer out there.*
Agree
Yes!
Thank you all!
-Andrew
Excellent reviews and information. Yup.
Agreed!
Thank You for being conciderate enough NOT ONLY updating descriptions, being throught meticulous with videos, BUT ALSO linking Amazon outside US!
⚡️⚡️ UPDATE: MAY 5th, 2020 ⚡️⚡️
Sandisk's 2019 High Endurance cards are our new budget picks, replacing the Samsung EVO Plus / Sandisk Ultra A1 and the older 2015 High Endurance cards. The issues with counterfeits have been fixed and their reliability is proven. geni.us/64SandiskHighEndurance
Samsung's Pro Endurance remains our top pick for their performance and value but are no longer the best performing cards. In March 2020, Sandisk launched their Max Endurance line, they have the best warranty and endurance rating of any consumer card I've seen. Their 128GB and 256GB cards have a 10 and 15 warranty - insane! Pricey though. I'll be bringing them in for testing soon.

Appreciate you taking the time to make all the dash cam videos. Very helpful in making purchase decisions.
Whenever I search for dash cam information that is detailed, I inevitably find my way to your channel for unbiased info. You are thorough and I am able to make decisions I would otherwise hesitate to make. Many thanks for your info,time and leaving me with options without a hard sell.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the kind words and glad I was able to help. Any suggestions on what I can do better or any content you'd like to see?
-Andrew
Thank you for your high quality, in depth videos. I am very impressed and glad I subscribed!
I am truly impressed with how professional your videos are. I also like the facts that you are responsive to viewers questions and that you purchase all of the equipment you review, I don't trust reviews from people who are sponsored. You have a new subscriber, thank you for your effort. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Pro1er. I try my best to deliver the type of reviews I would have wanted. Glad to see people appreciate the work I put into it. I'll keep it going for sure.
I know people who are sponsored and if they do the work ethically it doesn't make too big a difference especially if they are sponsored by a company outside the category they review.. That said non-sponsored is best but it's a lot harder to do.
you guys are awesome, you cannot imagine how much I was confused to buy my second dash cam for my other car.
My first one was the roav A1, It was fine but I'm looking for better, scene I started watching your videos I found the best one.
Thanks a lot guys and keep up the good work, few peoples are like you, and that is a good thing.
The work and research you have put in to make this video is commendable! Loved your content. Thank you.
Thank you!
Appreciate your reviews. I am having the same issues with my Aukey dash cam not recording so I was considering the Samsung PRO Endurance 64GB as suggested from your 2016 video. Then I saw your 2019 updated video in the description and saw it's still highly recommended. Great video and thanks again for keeping us informed.
You're welcome Cliff and glad I could help you out. Hope it fixes the issue with your Aukey camera and good thing you checked before it was too late.
-Andrew
Fantastic video. Informative and complete; covers all the important stuff with just the right amount of detail. Nice animations, too. Thank you!
Thanks Carpet! Glad I Could help!
Thank you for this great video series, and especially for the updates!
Did not know SD cards has expiry date. Thanks for an amazing video.
Oh my god the animation and graphics is INSANE in this new video of yours Andrew! Did you make it yourself? Anyway, awesome video as always! XD
Thanks! It's all me! I spent a lot of time adding new skills on Adobe After Effects (special effects) and Illustrator (vector graphics) to make this video. I'm happy you liked it.
-Andrew
Thank you for the update! I was waiting for this
I was waiting too! Took a while and thanks for watching Al!
-Andrew
@@Lam Andrew, I know this is a huge request, but could you do a tutorial on installing a camera that uses parking mode? I really want to see how to do the wiring to the fuse box and tucking wires so they're hidden. thx again for your excellent research
It's July 2022 and the info presented is appreciated.
Thank you for such an amazing review!!!!
Another Great Video, Andrew... Keep 'em Coming...
Very professional. Covers all the important parameters. Cheers!
Thanks Leadfoot! Doing my best to provide good information.
Excellent video. I don't think I'm alone in saying I keep up with all things dashcam, except memory cards. Admittedly, I been a little too busy to do some proper reading on the subject and have just been using 32gb Samsung Evo+ in all my cameras. Your video certainly clears things up. Thank you.
Great video as always, Andrew!
Thank you - thank you!
Great work! I really enjoy your videos. The animations are top notch here as well. My vote also goes to the Samsung Pro Endurance cards. I've been switching out to them for all my dashcams, GoPros, and security cameras. Shoutout to the Samsung Evo Selects for a more affordable option and a >128gb option, but I'm glad to hear about the new SanDisk options for Endurance cards at 256gb!
Likewise! I really enjoy your videos as well too. Thanks for the compliment. It's an interesting time for sure. I have a spreadsheet on all the endurance options and it's still hard to keep track and really compare the different options.
-Andrew
Thank you for this, I really enjoyed the tech explanation too. Frankly I find the huge spread of names that all sound so impressive very frustrating I bought a sandisk ultra car and it only lasted 3 months. I just picked up a couple of the sandisk SanDisk 256GB High Endurance for $34 each, compared to the SAMSUNG PRO Endurance 256GB which were $42 each, though they did come with SD adapters which I don't need.
I am a truck driver and drive at least 8 hours a day, The dash cam has come in so much handy, and one day could save my CDL if I get into an accident. I have been using a dashcam since I started driving like 9 years ago. I feel like part of the reason I've been accident free. Other than my defensive driving classes I took when I got my license. I think a non negligible amount of it is due to the fact that if I do something stupid, I am going to look like a dummy when I put it on youtube.
I was waiting for this, great job
Thanks Eug! I was waiting a while for this too.
-Andrew
Such a great video review! Thank you!
Excellent video and advice! (as always with Car Cam Central)
Thanks Mark!
Invaluable info. Thanks!
Always good info'. We will always need it. Thanks Andrew!
Great video, and dive deep. Looking forward for the 2022 with best 512 or large size sdcard for the 4K dashcam
extremely helpful! excellent job!
Thanks Hetti!
Hi, great video! Finally a good video explaining what are “high endurance” cards made like!
I’d like to ask you if these types of Sd cards are ok if using like a Plex Server. I am not going to make a server out of it, of course (lol), but use as a media manager on Kodi. I’ll need to write many files and obviously read them.
What do you think? Is it going to last more?
Very good presentation & updated info
Thank you so much for your videos, I learned so much!!
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thank you! 2021 gang
Very informative! Thank you professor!
You're very welcome!
Holy cow look who showed up. Hood to see you back
Thanks crusher! I was always here, just working silently in the background.
-Andrew
Great video! Very helpful for card selection.
Thanks Yiheng! Glad to help.
-Andrew
Thank you for the advice.
Wow 👍 What a great video! Thank you so much
Really informative video. When will you be reviewing the Sandisk High Endurance 2019? I am currently considering which card to get for my car cam, Samsung pro endurance is still pricey in this side of the world.
P/S: Bought a viofo a129 duo after watching your review on it.
Another great video Andrew. 4 years since update. Anything new? Also, what's your recommendation on reformatting dash cam cards every few months? Does reformatting cause premature wear?
great review. just the facts that are needed-thanks
Glad to help bruce!
I love learning new things. Thank you for this informative video. Also, what happened to Totoro? 😄
Excellent video Andrew. I already bought the Samsung Pro Endurance 64 based on your previous hint at this video. Thanks so much.
Thanks Danny - appreciate the trust. Hopefully it works for a long time to come.
-Andrew
@@Lam thank you, you've helped me so much!
Very useful information!
Great information!!
these also apply to pretty much any camera out there. great job andrew !
You're welcome again! Thanks.
Awesome review, thanks for the sharing!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the work 👍
Thanks Elara!
-Andrew
Hey @Andrew! Great video as always! Does Samsung PRO Endurance still remain your most recommended card for DashCams?
Great info that helped out a lot!
Glad I could help Matt!
I started of with SanDisk, until I had a brand new one fail (wasn’t from my regular supplier). Then I found Adata, which although a bit cheaper, never gave any problems. Never tried Samsung cards, haven’t seen them locally but if I do I’ll sure give them a try!
Great video!
Glad to have you back Andrew!
Thanks for watching Royal! Glad to release more!
-Andrew
Nice video, wondering if you have one for a recommended microSD reader?
Awesome. Thanx for your informative video.
Thanks Loki!
-Andrew
Great video, thanks!
Hey Andrew, do you have any updated best dashcam yet?
Thank you for the review. You are the best - trustworthy.
Thanks SHR
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate all the work you do to put out useful and informed content in a clear way. With the current state of many review channels, it's nice to find one that seems genuinely trustworthy.
Thanks Jonathan, I try to produce the reviews that I've always wanted.
Just wanted to say that at 6:02 screen shot there is a recommendation for Transcend 400x, I have one of those in 128gb that I ran without issue in a daily driver (one channel 1080p Street Guardian) for 3.5 years. Got several years no problems from Samsgun plus and select, both, also. Guess I'm lucky but I have many 2-3 years-of-use cards and didn't buy an endurance card for the first time till last week
Great video! Very informative! Although I knew that micro sd cards fail with time, didn't realise that these endurance ones exist with MLC cells.
Unfortunately, the 128GB Samsung Endurance costs 50 euros in my country at the moment... I 'm gonna go with the 128GB Samsung Evo Plus at 17 euros since even if it's starts acting up in a year or two, I can just buy another one and still I will have paid less.
Thanks for this video. I am surprised to find out that major brands (Samsung, Sandisk, etc) sell 128gb U1 Endurance level microSD card less than $40, while many DashCam manufacturers are selling their own memory cards for more than $100. Dashcam manufacturers might be getting a lot of profit from selling microSD cards at a higher margin, just like how Inkjet printer manufacturers are selling the printer at a discounted price but their inks at a higher price.
Your video is the de facto standard video that I would like to recommend to others who are looking forward to upgrading their dashcam memory capacity.
Thanks SL! It is a bit disappointing that some manufacturers jack up the price. I can understand from a business perspective if their customers will still pay for it.
-Andrew
I use the recommended 128gb Samsung Evo card in my Mini 0906 dual dashcam. Never had an issue with it 👌
Great info! Any recommendations for an adapter to use in a Tesla?
Nice and usefull! Thank you ;)
Thanks!
Gr8 reviews, may I ask a question please, which resolution do you recommend? There are so many settings to choose from, I hear the highest resolution is not always the best, not sure if thats true? Makes sense that the higher resolution is better is it not ?
I have the newest version of the viofo 129 duo plus, with rear camera. I like to use the 60 fps.
Thanks for your help...
Lexar High Performance 633x (A1, UHS-I, V30 Made-in-Taiwan) works perfectly with Thinkware F800PRO where Sandisk Extreme failed with multiply self-restarting between recording of continuous drive and parking modes by dashcam.
Sandisk High Endurance (UHS-I V30 64GB) recording works but experienced occasional self-restarting of driving mode from parking state.
I would like to know what's the best micro sd, for a redtiger F7N dash cam. I appreciate your feedback!. Thank you!.
Hi Andrew, hope you are doing well. What you think about Sandisk Max Endurance over Sandisk High Endurance? Thanks
What USB adapter would you recommend with using the Samsung's Pro Endurance SD card?
In a Tesla it needs to be connected to a USB-A In a glove box.
great video thanks man. no wonder my samsung evo started giving me corrupt videos
Hi Andrew, love the channel, and using your budget cam recommendations to officially get myself into dashcams since I’ve started a new job that requires a lot of driving during peak traffic hours of the day. I went with the blueskysea b1w.
Watching this video, I’m still trying to figure out what would be the best MicroSD to start with. My first thought is the Samsung 64 GB Pro Endurance, but should I go for more gigs, or is there a brand that works better with the b1w? I like the price, just want to make sure I make the right pick on my first try. Thanks!
Hey Aaron, thanks for enjoying my videos. I'd go with the 64GB Samsung Pro Endurance, it's the right product, price and capacity. There are better but this strikes the right balance for your money.
What is the recommended micro SD to use in a Vantrue N2s if you don't want to use Vantures recommended brand?
Thanks a lot for card research work.
You're welcome Roman!
ok so what is the best size and card for 2022?
Andrew. Can you do an update for 2022?
Hello,
I recently picked up the Samsung Pro Endurance Micro SD card for my Tesla and I was wondering what adapter you would recommend to pair with it. The set-up is in my glove box and it’s a usb-c connection
Great review, thank you. I am looking for a micro sd for my Vava Dash cam. I am told that to purchase a grade 3 card. Does Samsung sell an Endurance card thats grade 3 because I cannot find one. Thank you.
I think you need to make an update video for 2020
Great Video, Can you recommend the ScanDisk High Endurance 256 for the Blackview DR900S to use an a daily base? Or is it better to take a Samsung Pro Endurance 128GB - it is more or less the same price but half of capacity! Thanks.
get the sandisk max endurance, works great with my dr900s.
Wonderful video, and very informative. Thank you, I'm now setting my sights on the Samsung Pro Endurance 32 GB or the Sandisk High Endurance 32 GB, whichever is cheaper.
Awesome! Glad it helped. It'll likely be one or two dollars apart. if that's the case definitely get Samsung.
-Andrew
do you have updates for holidays 2021 for a garmin 57. I hear you have to have Fat 32 for bigger then 16gb. what does that mean?
Hi bro i will buy dash cam Garmin 66w. Pls tell me which card is best for it. And i drive around 2-3 hours every day. Thank you
I'm buying a mirror dual dash cam,
What's your recommendation?
I'm currently thinking about buying a dashcam. Brand I'm considering is Nextbase. Now I'm wondering what size micro sd card would be best.
DCC- nice videos you produce! I appreciate the style and delivery and no-nonsense facts to help us make a more informed decision!
Q#1- this back Friday, now into Cyber Monday specials abound, I’m considering the Rove 4K Stealth, it’s 25% off at $149, I can’t discover if this has a battery or capacitor, do you know?
Q#2- The Rove 4K Stealth, can accommodate up to a 512k micro sd card, Rove recommends the Samsung EVO. There are different styles of the EVO, what would you suggest for a style?
Hey Chris, thanks! So at $150 it is the cheapest true 4K camera I've seen. It uses the same sensor (Omnivision OS08A10) as the Blackvue DR900S. It uses a battery as I checked the Amazon sales page where they are required to disclose if it has a lithium battery or not.
I would use the EVO Plus (no + symbol) or the EVO Select. The Select and Plus are hte same, only the Select is the only version sold on Amazon directly (it's an exclusive). There's no other EVO versions being sold.
Car Cam Central - Thanks for informative reply!
According to a reply from a Rove customer service agent, they ONLY recommend using the 512k card from Samsung. On their comments section a “ poster “ said “ Only use Sandisk “ as other cards will error out.
Upon asking Rove, the “ poster “ posted false information in an attempt to drive sales to Sandisk. Rove ONLY recommended the Samsung cards for 4K use.
I hope this clears up any mis-Information being put out there by mischievous people.
Please do a review of the Rove 4K Stealth! For the money ($149.99), the features, and camera quality, plus the app, appear unbeatable this 2019 Holiday season. I am buying one as of this morning and would happily loan it to you for an official review on CCC if needed. ~ Happy Holidays CS
which card do u recommend , for the VIOFO A139 2K? doesnt matter on price to spend
Thank you sir!
Thank you!
-Andrew
Currently using a Sandisk Ultra 256gb card in Vantrue N4. Have 10 cameras in use and I'm wondering if I messed up getting the 256 card vs say a 32 or 64. When the 256 gets close to full it takes the camera about 3 minutes to begin recording. Understandably since it's so much memory. May try a lower capacity and see if it will load faster at capacity.
Whats the best rearview mirror dash cam?
I have the Acumen XR10
Watch now this youtube video and see my own comment back about the Sandisk micro SD cards. In the dashcam it worked long time good. But when i use it into a orange pi the micro sd cards from sandisk broke a lot in just a few months. Now for arround 2 years using Samsung micro SD cards and there is not!! just one broken! I am really impressed and use now a Samsung Endurance 64GB also in my Viofo A119v2 What is the best time to replace a Samsung Endurance card? :)
Hello ANdrew,
is there any difference between the Lexar LSDMI128BBNL633 vs LSDMI128BBNL633A ?
How many times can a micro SD card be formatted or reformatted?
Please advise a good memory card that works stably in all modes of Viofo A119 V3
Would you please recommend the best card for Thinkware q800 pro Samsung endurance 128 gb vs Sandisk ultra 400 go?
Your info leads me to go with Samsung endurance but not sure if it works flawlessly with the thinkware. Been reading about restart loops and missing footage if not thinkware branded an card
Hi,how about the SIlicon Power sdxc u3 A1 v30 3D nand?
Hi I’ve just had a BlackVue 750s 2ch fitted. I got the magic pro so I could have it constant recording in parking mode. It’s got a 32 g card and only records up to 3 hrs and then overlaps. Would you recommend a 128g card from blackvue or a Samsung. Thanks
I wonder if you can help. I have a Akaso DL12 mirror dash cam. I've used a Evo select, and a Sandisk Extreme Pro. I'm not sure if these endurance cards will help with my problem. I'm getting an error that reads, (card slow restartrec...). I've even set the cam to record in 1080p, and this still happens. Will a endurance card help, or do I need a card with higher write speeds?
