yes they are made for that, but its not loop recording which seems to affect that card negatively but the cell format is the important part. I don’t know the fully story about the encoding/ compression methods for this, or how it effects the cards, so I wont speak to that. but for the types for cell formats, which affects lifespan and reliability I have researched a bit and I think this will explain it fairly well.
(@kwjordan_az the Trancend high endurance is one of the best cards you can get!..I use them and samgung high endurance and love them. no issues at all! )
the best explanation I have found was this.
eMLC (Enterprise Multi Level Cell)
eMLC is MLC flash, but optimized for the enterprise sector and has better performance and lastability. Read/write data life cycles are expected between 20,000 and 30,000. eMLC provides a lower cost alternative to SLC, yet maintains some of the pros of SLC.
Pros:
- Cheaper alternative than SLC for an enterprise SSD.
- Has better performance and endurance over standard MLC.
Cons:
- Does not match SLC NAND flash SSDs in performance.
Recommended for:
- Industrial use and workloads that require heavy read/write cycles such as servers.
MLC (Multi Level Cell)
MLC flash as it’s name suggests stores multi bits of data on one cell. The big advantage of this is the lower cost of manufacturing versus manufacturing SLC flash. The lower cost in flash production is generally passed onto you as the consumer, and for that reason is very popular among many brands. MLC flash is preferred for consumer SSDs for it’s lower costs but the data read/write life is less in comparison to SLC at around 10,000 per cell.
Pros:
- Lower production costs are passed onto you the consumer.
- Is more reliable than TLC flash.
Cons:
- Not as durable and reliable as SLC or enterprise SSDs.
Recommended for:
- Everyday consumer use, gamers, and enthusiasts.
TLC (Triple Level Cell)
Storing 3 bits per cell, TLC flash is the cheapest form of flash to manufacture. The biggest disadvantage to this type of flash is that it is only suitable for consumer usage, and would not be able to meet the standards for industrial use. Read/write life cycles are considerably shorter at 3,000 to 5,000 cycles per cell.
Pros:
- Cheapest to manufacture which in turn leads to cheaper to market SSDs.
Cons:
- Cells will survive considerably less read/write cycles compared to MLC NAND. This means that TLC flash is good for consumer use only.
Recommended for:
- Everyday consumer use, web/email machines, netbooks, and tablets.
and of course, a nice little figure. I think I found this first when I was researching, which led to much more in depth researching
the Sandisk you are using I beleive is the TCL format.
most high endurance cards are either SCL or MCL ( SCL used to be strictly industrial applications, circa 2010-2011 ish, that tech might have made it to cards by now)
this was a head turner for me when I couldn’t figure out why I was corrupting so many sandisk cards in my dashcam. hope this clarifies a bit for you.
