What's the
Life
Expectancy
of
a
Memory
Card?
One
of
the
most
important
reasons
to
have
a
Dashcam installed
in
a car
is
to
keep
it
recording
in
case
something
unexpected happens.
Therefore,
you
should
pay
attention
to
your
memory
card
as
much
as
you
care
about the
quality
of
your
Dashcam.
There
are
more
than
20
memory
card brands
out
there.
We recommend
you
to
buy
from
more
well-known
and
reliable
ones.
If
possible,
you
need
to
format
your memory
cards
on a
regular
basis.
Most
of SDHC/SDXC
cards
on
the market
are
TLC
(Triple-Level Cell)
type.
They
are
hugely
applied
on
smartphones,
digital
cameras,
and
tablets. Their rewrite
cycles
(TLC)
are
limited,
and it's lower
than
MLC
(Multi-Level Cell)
and also
cheaper.
Most
people
care
about the
specifications,
image
quality,
and
price
when
it
comes
to
choosing
a
Dashcam.
Usually,
when
you
purchase
a
Dashcam,
the
package
already
includes
a
memory
card.
Therefore,
the
importance
of
selecting
a
good
memory
card is
commonly
ignored.
If
you
were
to
purchase
your
own
memory
card,
make
sure
you
read the
required
class
(usually
Class
10)
and maximum
supported
size
(usually
32G
or
64G)
of
your
Dashcam
first.
Also,
keep
in
mind
that
memory
cards have limited rewrite
cycles
so
they
are
considered
as
consumables.
TLC
memory
cards have limited rewrite
cycle
for
about
500
to
1000
times.
In
other
words,
after
going
through
the
cycle
for
more
than
500
times,
chance
of
the
memory
card
to
be broken
will
be
hugely
increased.
More,
memory
card
can
be broken
in
any
time
after
going
through
the
cycle
more
than
1000
times.
Unlike
TLC
memory
on
smartphones,
memory
cards
on
Dashcams
are
constantly
being
written
(recording).
The
higher
the
read/write
frequency,
the shorter
of
memory
card
life-time.
There
are more
and
more
MLC
memory
cards
for
users
to
choose
nowadays.
Users
may
consider
going
for
higher
price
MLC
memory
cards
to
have
a
better
performing
experience
on
Dashcams.
