need a card, but approx eta would be useful

I'm voting cold because I chucked one of these in my gopro and it looked as if I was pushing my bike rather than hurling it down hill

bit of a stupid link, guy recommends a card and cant even confirm its mlc
are the mlc cards the same price?
deal depends on needs and info not just random regurgitation of links

As others have said, I pre ordered this two weeks ago. Still no availability date. It's all a bit weird really.

256GB is much faster U3 version... 64GB is only U1 card

So what cards does one use for dash cams?

For phone and tablet use, you're more interested in 4KB performance, and here the Evo shines: it scored 9MB/s when reading and 3MB/s when writing. from pcadvisor

The article you mention basically just specifies on dash cams, not regular use for phones or gaming devices etc.
For anything other than dashcam use most sd cards are fine.

I don't believe the quoted Amazon read/write speeds; I notice this is a My 256GB Samsung EVO+ microSD performs MUCH faster.
I just retested it.

Heat from me;
I'm ordering two.

I ordered on the 18th May and still not here

i did ordered this... two weeks back... still in pre order....

I think he wants to state this other passage from the link:

Samsung – All Cards
Their cards are great but their policies prohibit use in a dash camera. For their MLC Samsung Pro/Pro+ it has this note beside their 10-year warranty. “Warranty is limited for any type of surveillance system.” Reaching out to Samsung Service I received this response:
“Samsung SD Cards and Micro SD Cards are not intended to be used for continuous recording purposes for example, in surveillance systems such as a car-black box. The reason for this is because the card may fail with constant and obsessive reading and writing. They are not designed to be constantly and continuously written to.”
Second email to clarify if there is a warranty:
“It would be a case by case basis. If the card would fail within its warranty period we would have to review the case.”

This is a Samsung card though?

Hmm! May be not the bargain it seems, depends on the equipment it's intended for.
See here Clicky
This is about 1/4 way down:-
Sandisk mentioned but likely will affect Samsung too.

If duplicate can someone remove it, help from mods?
