It's essential for dashcam memory cards to last as long as possible. Samsung believes it has made the longest-lasting card yet. Its new Pro Endurance microSD cards promise up to 16 years of continuous recording for the range-topping 256GB version. This longevity only extends to this variant, but you can still get up to eight years on the 128GB model. (There's also a 32GB one.)
For context, Samsung's older dashcams peaked at five years, still considered better than what was offered in the segment. The norm has been two to four years of non-stop recording. This new Pro Endurance line can read at speeds up to 100MB/s and write at 30MB/s or better, allowing you to capture 1080p or 4K footage. Samsung also claims the cards are resistant to drops, magnets, water, extreme temperatures, and X-rays. The starting price is at US$11 (~CA$14) for that 32GB option and tops out at US$55 (~CA$71) for the 256GB model.
