        GoPros, DJIs etc won't benefit from this card specifically because the card is only V30 rated and any random V30 card would do in its place. If you have a camera with more demanding video requirements you would be looking at something like a V60 or V90 card.

        What it will help with is file transfer speeds back to the PC only if you are using a compatible card reader.

      If you care enough to ask then you might want to get endurance cards instead. You can get away with using non-endurance cards in those scenarios but it'll void the warranty of the cards and they'll be more likely to fail.

      Limited 10-year warranty. * Warranty does not extend to dashcam, CCTV, surveillance camera and other write-intensive uses. * Warranty for SD adapter is limited to 1 year.

          They can likely check the write cycle on it and see its a tad high for someone claiming they never used it for cctv or dashcam.

      You'd probably be better off putting the money towards an ssd upgrade.
      1tb is usually around $80-90 on sale and ive seen 2tb around $170.
      $79 for 512gb is pretty bad especially when you usually dont get those advertised speeds unless you use the manufacturer's proprietary usb adapter.

    Why is this no good for surveillance cameras?

    • bobvegas on 09/03/2024 - 12:21

      they deteriorate too quickly, much more quickly then SSD's.

      I don't know how the endurance version of these SD cards are different but it does seem to be a real thing, and they are meant for security cameras.
      Also depends on how you use your CCTV camera, I record 24 hours a day, if you only record on motion detection, and it's not constantly recording motion you could get much longer before it fails

    This might be suitable for dashcams and surveillance while not directly marked as being designed for them.

    The non-pro, Evo, Selecct and Pro are all based on the same controller. The Pro Ultimate (this one), features Samsungs new controller.

    Taken from the Press Release:

    The Samsung PRO Ultimate provides professional photographers and creators with reliable performance, thanks to the controller’s enhanced Error Correction Code (ECC) engine and multi-proof protection features that ensure safer data storage over extended periods of time.

    With an upgrade to the ECC’s Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code from a 1-kilobyte (KB) to a 2KB engine, the PRO Ultimate offers enhanced durability for a higher volume of write-and-erase cycles. This prevents data loss so consumers can use their Samsung memory cards with confidence.

    When transferring off the card won't get 200/130 MB/s without a proprietary card reader. Standard real world UHS-I speeds are around 80-90MB/s.

  • harshbdmmaster718 on 09/03/2024 - 23:26

    I know I'm late but read this on a previous deal asking about different endurance so here goes. these are just by the numbers.

    Samsung Pro Endurance: no blue text = bad (avoid), blue text = good (highest write hours of roughly 15 years worth of video / 5 year warranty).

    Samsung High Endurance: low write hours = bad avoid

    Samsung Max Endurance: high write hours of 13 years worth of video / 10 year warranty.

    so go for Pro Endurance with blue text if you know you will write 15 years worth in 5 years before warranty runs out.
    go for Max Endurance if you will not get even close to that but want the 10 year warranty. Max endurance is probably best choice for most people.

    the write specs are for the 256GB. if you go for half then cut the spec in half.

    • Sleepycat3 on 10/03/2024 - 01:00

      I have the 256GB Pro Endurance with blue text and use it in my car's dashcam. It is good, and no issues so far in the past year.

    • netsurfer on 10/03/2024 - 17:03

      All those figures are based on writing Full HD (1080p) videos. If it is 2K or 4K, you need to re-calculate accordingly. While up to 15 years Full HD continuous write sounds nice, once you convert that to 4K, you are looking at less than 4 years.

      • harshbdmmaster718 on 10/03/2024 - 17:18

        yea just checked spec for Max endurance it's for HD video as well.

        "1. Actual hours of video saved less. Up to 120,000 hours/over 13 years for 256GB; 60,000 hours for 128GB; 30,000 hours for 64GB; and 15,000 hours for 32GB. Full HD video only; total hours less for 4K UHD video."

        Pro endurance's ~4 years lines up better with the 5 year warranty then.

        then Max endurance's ~3 years comes up very short of the 10 year warranty.

        • netsurfer on 10/03/2024 - 18:01

          So basically, once you read the specs carefully about those Pro/High/Max Endurance SD/microSD cards, you soon realise the "marketing" specs are for full HD video recording and for 256GB. If you picked 128GB, you need to halve it, 64GB is down to 1/4 (25%) and 32GB is 1/8 of that (12.5%). Wouldn't surprise me if the non blue text ones are smaller size microSD cards.

          32GB high endurance microSD card hours translate to 1.7 years so I reckon Samsung would probably only offer 3 years warranty for the 32GB microSD card model. Once you read past the marketing hype, you quickly realise you still have to fork out $$$ and over-provision to get a large size microSD card if you really want long endurance for constant video recording.

    Pro Plus 512 is ~$55 for Prime members atm, it's only marginally slower in read and same speed in write.

  • virtual81 on 10/03/2024 - 15:39

    I'm still always on the lookout for fast, reliable and durable cards for Raspberry Pi Projects.
    My prefered options exist but are locked down by manufacturers to sell only to OEMs.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to access such cards without being ripped off.

    I'm talking 32-64GB range, MLC, or very very high quality TLC and possibly with wear levelling.
    Happy to pay a limited premium, but not not be ripped off.

    • netsurfer on 10/03/2024 - 17:07

      MLC on SD cards is wishful thinking. TLC is normally used on higher end SD cards. QLC is quite common. NQR (not quite right) grade of flash memory is often used on cost effective SD cards.

      Pi 4 and Pi 5, if you really care about data endurance, you would look at SSD. Pi 3, Pi Zero, Zero 2, it is unlikely you will be doing a lot of I/O operations.

      For Pi, you are better off putting in a larger SD card in it, rather than getting a smaller SD card with higher endurance. You will often find <=64GB SD cards and USB sticks under perform 128GB models. Simply over-provision by 2X instead of being tricked by all these marketing terms to fork out more to buy higher endurance cards with 2X less capacity. More cells = more room for wear levelling.

      • virtual81 on 10/04/2024 - 17:44

        Not really, MLC and TLC SD cards exist with a pSLC mode (psuedo SLC, 1 bit stored per cell), they are just almost impossible for regular consumers to access.

        The issue is not about pure data endurance, the issue is about economical reliability and form factor.
        Adding a SATA or NVME drive to a Pi ads to size, cost and complexity.

        Other SBCs and embedded systems use EMMC or UFS.
        Some industrial systems use SD cards, sometimes glued into the slot.
        All fo these options are fine to me, but are not readuly available foe the Pi.

        Larger SD cards only work for dashcams where the card is filled from start to finish and then the process repeated.

        Unless it specifically has wear leveling (which is rare and expensive) using a large card on a Pi gives no advantage as the beginning of the drive gets flogged over and over while the end is never touched.

        If I'm wrong then please link me to affordable and readily available drives that have wear leveling.

        Otherwise i still claim for reliability sakes modern 8 or 16 GB SD made using the most refined MLC techniques would best fit my use case.

        This is the kind of thing I'm after…
        https://www.kingston.com/en/memory-cards/industrial-grade-mi…
        … so it clearly exists.

        • harshbdmmaster718 on 10/04/2024 - 19:34

          you can get Transcend japan 3D NAND micro sd cards with wear levelling from amazon jp: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Transcend-TS256GUSD460T-Commer…

          specs for model here: https://www.transcend-info.com/embedded/product/embedded-mem…

          not sure if prices are good or not it will go up and down though. I was researching good cards for dashcams but ended up binning the whole dashcam idea and the Transcend card shits all over the Western digital purple micro sd (which I read a lot of people recommend over the "Endurance" consumer cards).

          you could probably look around for other models on amazon jp https://www.transcend-info.com/Embedded/Product/memory-cards…
          but be careful some of them consume 2.88 watts which is way too high for smaller devices such as dashcams I think (they run on 5w leaving only 2.11watts to power the rest). the model in the amazon link above uses only 0.5watts.
          probably a good idea to look at operating voltage as well I didnt do that.

          • virtual81 on 10/04/2024 - 23:30

            @harshbdmmaster718: Dunno what's going on, i can browse Amazon jp, but cannot login to it.
            My account works on au, us, uk, dk etc… but .jp just returns "We cannot find an account with that email address"

            Price it reports is about AUD$60

            These look probably more like what i might want.

            As far as the 2.88 watts goes something is up there… that much power within the volume of 165 mm3 for more than a second or so is going to literally melt it.

            That has to be either a mistake or a rare transient at most.

            You able to login to amazon.jp with a normal account or does something odd need to be done?? VPN or something?

            • harshbdmmaster718 on 11/04/2024 - 13:03

              @virtual81: I had to make an account for amazon jp. you can use the same email as the others, then add your Aus address and payment method.

              yeah dollar is almost equal to yen atm but it was like +$30 shipping when I checked, after amazon's fees it ends up being about $100.
