Re: [MBZ] Dash Cam Memory Cards

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Same.

Back in the day, I would get old Flash PCMCIA cards from the bay of fleas, for 
use in my Newtons.  The cards were near MTBF on read/write cycles, but the 
handheld was not going to tax them in any manner.  Most came out of Cisco 
servers.  Not a one failed me.  There was usage in iPods, which had massive 
usage cycles and those seemed to be of lesser quality, with a shorter MTBF.

I did.  Flash memory is NOT 'for the ages'.  Not if you're actively using it.
