I am going to list parking mode cameras I would pick, but each have strengths and weaknesses.

• A119 v2 ($80-100 USD) Excellent video quality, Fair/Poor build quality, Lackluster parking mode.
  
  Excellent video quality - Probably the best video quality dash cam on the market. The A119S v2 has been very disappointing, under preforming the A119 v2 in most aspects. A119 Pro is very near the A119 v2, but as of yet not out preformed the A119 v2. - Firmware updates could possibly improve video quality of A119 v2, A119S v2, and A119 Pro, but as of yet, the A119 v2 is on top.
  
  Fair/Poor build quality - A119 v1 is the reason build quality is low. It was released, with obvious flaws, and was not addressed until the A119 v2. A119 v2 has resolved most issues.
  
  
• Lackluster parking mode - Missing one or more of the features of excellent parking mode.
  
  
• Excellent parking mode - Automatic engage/disengage when parked, Buffered - Able to record a few seconds before G sensor or Motion sensor activated (like a time machine), Built in low voltage cut off feature (Adjustable) Voltage/Timer based.
  
  A119 Lackluster parking mode = Automatic Engage/disengage when parked via G sensor/Motion sensor inactivity for 90 seconds, Not Buffered, Add Low voltage cut off feature via hardwire kit.
  
  A119 cost structure 1CH = 2x to cover front back. 2x Dashcam ($80-100 USD) + 2x Micro SD card ($20-40 USD) + 2x Hardwire kit (1x cheap ($13 USD) + 1x expensive ($24 USD)) = ($157~328 USD)
  
  
• Cheap hardwire kits have flaws: (Preset/Not Adjustable) Voltage Only; Short cable lengths - Suitable for only the front dash cam only, also that little black box will end up on your dash board; Vulnerable to cold (once car warms up it is fine); Does not include 2nd 5amp fuse for Tap a fuse (purchasable at any automotive store.)
  
  
• Expensive hardwire kits have less flaws: (Adjustable) Voltage/Timer based; Longer cable lengths suitable for (Front/Rear) cameras. However the price point makes Excellent parking mode dash cams more affordable.
  
  ---
  
  
• BlackSys CH-100B 2CH ($160-230 USD) Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, Good/Fair video quality. - Includes Hardwire kit + 16 GB Micro SD card + GPS for about ($220 USD) - Video quality is a huge step down from the A119 v2 - You will want to specifically want to compare the difference. Excellent build quality = less and more livable flaws. Excellent parking mode - described above. This dash cam like all dash cams have some flaws, but fit the bill for most people. - Negative about this dash cam is price went up from ($200 USD) to ($220 USD) recently. I do not like this price increase at all. ~$160 was for Used/refurbished models from Blackboxmycar.com, email them if they have any at that price.
  
  
• BlackSys CH-200 2CH ($300 USD) - Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, Good Video quality. - Includes Hardwire kit + 32 GB Micro SD card + GPS for ($300 USD) - This is a step up in video quality from the BlackSys CH-100B 2CH, but still below 2x A119 v2s. Excellent build quality = less and more livable flaws. Excellent parking mode - described above. This dash cam like all dash cams have some flaws, but fit the bill for most people.
  
  
• Mini 0906 ($130 USD) - I do not like this camera, but it is a 2CH model, that many people talk about. Make sure to visit Dashcamtalk for written reviews on it, and watch video reviews on it: USDashcam and Blackboxmycar have excellent youtube channels you should check out. What you want in reviews is ones that point out flaws/negatives, cheerleaders are not welcome. All dash cams have flaws, some are more glaring than others.

If you have specific use questions, like you use the camera a lot or care about sound I can address those too, but I think this should cover most things.

 

Regarding your build question

***

The design is still really sharp, the 10 has a bezeled back and then is slightly curved. Not the smooth curved shape on the m8. I still like but it's definitely different. I'm using this case now and it basically feels the same as the m8 did.

 

I was originally attracted to the m8 because of the build quality, back when the flagship Samsung phones were plastic. The s7/s7 edge are now metal, similar to HTC's flagship line and they were the other phones I explored when updating. Because of this change the only major issues I have with the S7/S7 Edge is Samsung's OS overlay on top of Android (oh also their misplaced 'back' button). I used to use Nexus phones and HTC is probably the closest you can get to barebones Android on Verizon without flashing a rom, which right now you cant do on your own on a Verizon HTC 10. (Note I don't use the stock launcher so blinkfeed is not present).

 

Anyway..on to what you came for.

 

Major Changes

***
 

• These include the USB-C charger. I have a ton of micro-usb cables which are now obsolete so you may have to snag a couple extra wires. But more importantly the phone and wall charger it comes with use Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 which takes your battery from empty to full in about 1 hour which is awesome. Battery, as you'd imagine is one of my biggest concerns and this definitely helps with that, but I'll go more into the battery in a minute.
  
   
  
  
• Other build based issues include the relocation of the headphone jack from the bottom of the m8 to the top on the 10. When I place my phone in my pocket (front right) it is oriented with the top of the phone facing toward the ground so that I can pull it out with it being right-side up, that's a bit annoying now, but not the end of the world for me.
  
   
  
  
• They also moved the power button to the right, just below the volume buttons, this took a little getting used to but I now don't find it uncomfortable and it allows me to take a screen shot with one finger.
  
   
  
  
• The fingerprint scanner is a fast easy way to unlock your phone and I've found the scanner/home button to be comfortable.
  
   
  
  
• Oh! I amost forgot, one of the most important things for me was expandable storage. The 10 supports up to a 2 TB microSD card which I don't think even exist currently. You can set the SD card such that the phone treats the space as part of the internal drive so now "move to SD" issues are nonexistent. I snagged this 128gb card for about $70 you can find cheaper ones if you're okay with a slower card. I wanted to go with the UHS-1 3 card which has speed enough for 4K video and I figured if it's working as part of the internal system I didn't want it to be slowed down by my choice of SD Card (not sure this is a thing).
  
  

  Concerns/Likes:
  

  ***
   
  
  I was nervous with my decision just after I made the purchase. My biggest concern being battery life. The S7 and S7 Edge have been shown to have at least slightly better battery life (the edge even more so) than the HTC 10. It was maybe an hour longer on the S7 and a couple on the Edge, I can find the real numbers if you want.
  
   
  
  But ast forward a little, after using the phone for a couple of weeks I have less concern. Even with playing way too much Pokemon Go it hasn't been a huge issue. I can get the exact numbers if you want but I think While playing Pokemon Go with medium to high brightness and the screen always on it's slightly under 1%/minute. The phone battery really shines with it's incredibly low battery drain while the phone is unused for extended periods of time. It uses only 3-4% total while I'm sleeping.
  
   
  
  My general biggest concern regarding battery life is how I expect it to look a year or two from now. So if it's cutting it close today then a year from now it could be in real trouble. I'm mildly concerned with this still but there are QuickCharge 3.0 battery packs and I'm never too far from an outlet. Unfortunately there isn't data on battery life at the 1 year/2 year mark. FWIW I opted to not trade it in for the $35 restocking fee to switch to the S7 Edge.
  
   
  
  

  Other issues:
  

  
  

• The 10 lacks a native music player which was a little annoying. The reason apparently being that they're trying to minimize extra apps and want you to use Play Music and other Google things. I just downloaded a simple player from the play store which even lets me edit song data which I couldn't before so that's cool.
  
   
  
  
• The phone also does not come with headphones in the US. Apparently they're decent earbuds. I have other sets I use and over-ear headphones so I wasn't forced to purchase any separately. When you first plug in headphones you have the option of setting up a sound profile for them which was actually pretty nifty setting up the phones output to work with my specific headphones it came out sounding really good.
  
   
  
  If you have any questions I can go into other things. I'm assuming this is way more than you wanted already.
  
  soooo....
  
   
  
  TL;DR - Go for it. I've been enjoying it so far.
  
  

Of course! So if you're ordering a new ds chances are it will be running an unexploitable firmware (I can't be 100% sure about that though because I'm pretty new to 3ds hacking myself, I would suggest checking out /r/3dshacks and looking into installing arm9loaderhax and be sure not to bring up piracy there). Assuming you're firmware needs to be downgraded to be exploited, you will likely need to perform a hardmod. There are many online guides for this but unless you are highly experienced with soldering circuitboards (like I am not) I would strongly suggest you stay away from it. Since I was in the same situation I'm describing, I sought out a user by the name of /u/pbanj_. This guy is a long time contributor to the /r/3dshacks community. You can read his post about his hardmod service here. TL;DR: if you are in the US you can send him your system and $45 and he'll get everything set up for you, no hassle. Just make sure you follow his instructions in that post very carefully. You can contact him through pm. I would expect you to be skeptical of his service because I was too but I just got my system back today and everything is absolutely perfect, the system looks and runs exactly as before. Also, he's really fast about getting it sent back to you and his price is the best I was able to find. I highly recommend him. Anyway, once you get your system back, you can visit [google "3ds freeshop"] and [google "3ds title keys"] and follow this video to get everything set up. The only slight deviation I had to make from that tutorial was instead of putting the encTitleKeys.bin in the freeShop folder he tells you to make, I had to put it in 3ds/data/freeShop I believe (although if that is wrong, the freeshop app will tell you where it needs to go when you open it). From there, all you need to do is go into the freeShop app, search for the game you want, and hit download. I don't know if every single physical copy game is on there but I just downloaded a ton of games and I didn't find a single one that wasn't on there. If you follow the same steps as me, it is basically foolproof. It's cheap, quick, and you won't get banned even if you play those downloaded games online. You can also download a ton of other homebrew applications from there (/r/3dshacks will be a great resource for this part). The only other expense would be getting a nice, sizable sd card to hold all your new games. This is the one I got. I'd recommend going for the 64gb because it can hold (obviously) twice as much as a 32gb and is going to have faster load times than a 128gb. So that is, in maybe more detail than you would like, the entire process I went through. It may seem complicated but it's actually quite simple. Again, /r/3dshacks is a great resource but don't mention anything related to piracy there. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps!

edit: I originally thought this was a pm so I removed some direct links so this post doesn't get removed. You should still be able to find everything pretty easily though.

edit 2: a word

I've traveled to quite a few places with my kit lens. It's pretty damn good.

You still have time to fill out the rest of your stuff, if needed:

Filters:

Singh-Ray Filters makes a "ColorCombo LB" filter. Works like wearing a pair of polarized GOOD quality sunglasses outdoors. I never took it off. Excellent quality and helped when the sky was overexposed and when I generally wanted to get a more intense color.

Lens:

Your kit lens will be more than fine for anything during the day. But at night is different. The kit is meh at night. You definitely want something to capture night time. Maybe some star time lapses? Those are always cool.

Leica 15mm F1.7 My wallet hurt when I bought this, but to be honest, it's on my camera more than it's not. It makes the night look amazing. The quality is awesome too.

Panasonic 25mm f1.7 - compared to the "nifty fifty" on a full frame (25mm*2=50mm). This is our "go-to" as a second lens (for day and/or night), but to get an idea of how 'zoomed in' it is, take your kit lens and rotate it to "25mm". That's how this lens is. Too much for me, but it's still worth mentioning.

Panasonic 45-150mm f4.0-5.6 - I just bought this lens from Amazon Warehouse for $100. It's very well built and serves it's purpose (when I want to zoom in on something far away).

Microphones:

If you want a better microphone get the Videomic Pro+. The difference between this and the others are that the mic turns on/off automatically when the camera turns on/off and it has a USB rechargeable battery.

Batteries:

Speaking of extra batteries, you're going to want more. There are three types: cheap non-decoded, cheap decoded, and OEM (which are decoded).

Non-decoded means you won't know how much battery you have left in the camera. Obviously that's dumb. Spend a little more and get decoded. I really like these OAproda 2 pack + charger. No battery lasts as long as the OEM, but it's close enough. Plus, the OAproda charger is much thinner than the others and charges via USB.

SD Cards:

I love these SanDisk Extreme Pro. I purchased the 128gb because I NEVER want to be in a position that I can ever possibly run out of space.

You'll want a way to copy the files to your pc. This Transcend USB 3.0 works amazingly, and it's $9 for a two pack.

External Drive:

You WILL run out of space on your laptop. You can either purchase 3-4 SD cards, or you can get an external HDD. Each has it's pros and cons.

Battery Pack / cables:

Whether it's your phone / headphones / batteries / tablet / whatever, I suggest the Anker PowerCore. These things are beasts. One of these made sure I was able to fly from here to Australia without worrying about battery levels.

You'll also want to carry extra wires. Whether MicroUSB, USB-C, or Lightening, I would never use anything else but Anker PowerLine


International Charger:
I used the BESTEK Travel Adapter and loved it. Plenty of ports to charge stuff on. It has a small fan (to keep it cool) that some people say bothers them, but I'm the lightest sleeper and it didn't bother me. Barely heard it.

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

Supports CEC. Comes with 4x USB 2.0 slots, an HDMI, quad core ARM A7 processor, 1 GB RAM, and an ethernet port. Also has GPIO pins but I don't know of any Kodi related uses for them. It is an extremely low power device (uses about $3 worth of electricity per year) and requires nothing to keep it cool (e.g., no fans blaring in the middle of your favorite movie).

Base cost is $35. Requires a microSD card, an HDMI cable, and a microUSB charger, all of which can be purchased for approximately $5 each. An existing microUSB charger, such as from your cell phone or a device like a Kindle or Chromecast can be used, of course. Optional components include a case ($10-$20 or 3D print your own), USB wifi dongle ($10+), and an external hard drive ($50+). A few companies put out bundles that include a Raspberry Pi board and various components such as this basic one and this more complete one. A wireless keyboard ($20+) can also be handy. Product links are provided as examples; there may be better deals or smarter purchases to be had.

You'll then want to use a minimalistic Linux distro such as OpenELEC or OSMC, both of which are designed specifically to run Kodi and have optimized builds for a Raspberry Pi. OpenELEC seems to be more popular and is what I use myself. Installation is easy -- you just download and write to your SD card (oh yeah, you might need an SD card reader, $5). If you'd like you can also install a "real" Linux distro and install Kodi in that as you would on a regular desktop computer. You can either store your media on an external hard drive connected to the Raspberry Pi or on a separate computer or NAS and share your files over your LAN.

Pros:

• Cheap base cost
  
• Low power
  
• Very hands off after initial setup
  
• CEC! Use your TV remote to control Kodi
  
• Hardware decoding for h264
  
• As it is full-fledged computer you can easily add in additional software such as emulators, a web browser, etc.
  
• More of a DIY solution (may be a con)
  
  Cons:
  
  
• A few plugins (typically they are Windows dependent) and more computationally intensive skins may not work
  
• May get pricey if you need to buy all the separate components
  
• Can not handle 10-bit x264 (aka Hi10p; rare outside of anime fansubs) or HEVC (aka h265) files.
  
• No 4K output, max resolution is 1920x1200
  
• More of a DIY solution (may be a pro)
  

It's better to buy the parts separately. You'll need the following:

The Pi, obviously:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CMC50S0?pldnSite=1

A MicroSDXC Card if you don't already have one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DOB6YQA?pldnSite=1

A power supply:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZX466R/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_1_w

A USB Keyboard if you don't have one lying around:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WWDMZQL?pldnSite=1

Controllers - there's tons to choose from. Depending on which games you plan on playing. If you want to do 8-bit and 16-bit games, an SNES style controller is probably best, that would work for obviously SNES, but Genesis or NES games as well. If you don't mind wires, go with the Buffalo SNES USB Controller. If you want to go wireless, go with 8Bitdo. The 8Bitdo also gives you few more options in terms of colors, so you get get one that looks like an American SNES controller with the purple buttons, an international SNES controller with rainbow buttons, an NES style controller with an SNES button layout, etc. Just don't cheap out, you'll see some SNES USB controllers on Amazon for dirt cheap, but they're terrible. Either get the Buffalos or the 8BitDos, or if you have an original SNES controller, you can get an USB adapter for it.

For Playstation or N64 games and anything newer, you would need a controller with more buttons and analog sticks. Again, you have tons of options, you can get Dualshock, X-Box 360, or Wii U Pro controllers, plus Logitech has some controllers that also have the right amount of buttons. These controllers can also be used for older games if you only want one set of controllers.

As for the case, you have tons of options, just search Amazon and see what case fits your style. Just be sure it fits the Pi 3.

Oh, and finally, you'll also need an HDMI cable if you don't have one.

Once you get all that, setting it up is rather easy. It seems intimidating, but I'm a total newbie when it comes to tech stuff, and I was able to get mine up and running without any major hiccups. If I could do it, I'm sure you could. It is pretty easy if you just follow instructions. And if you get lost and need help, you can always post on Reddit and someone will be willing to help out.

Stick to Amazon, and check best buy since they price match amazon if you want instant satisfaction on your purchases.

I recommended the yellow bobber for any water excursions you take, and a nice selfie stick (lots of great brands). I use the selfiie stick for snowboarding mostly.

This is a great SD Card

Most of the official GoPro stuff is going to be better quality than the random rip-off 3rd party brands. You do get what you pay for.

So much awesome here!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007KFXIDE/ref=aw_ls__5?colid=7CWYXJ1UUUS5&coliid=I470A7VTO4OVI&vs=1 is something I need. I currently have no expandable storage for my phone so I have to be real careful with pics and videos of my kiddos.

For the under $20, would love this to read to my boys. My husband and I both loved this book as kids http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0060572345/ref=aw_ls__10?colid=1XBDHCB7ELEOA&coliid=I2D46YYD2FJCA0

C'mon...gimme.

You both look extremely lovely today by the by :)

ETA: Just realized the double post, whoops! All clear now :)

Hello friends,

I'm getting my first new 2DS XL and was hoping for some recommendations on SD cards. I was looking at the following:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWN9Q99/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JWXGNT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was looking at these two things, although the official Nintendo site recommends the Sandisk Extreme which is:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDHC-UHS-I-SDSQXAF-032G-GN6MA/dp/B06XWMQ81P/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509988553&sr=8-3&keywords=32+gb+sandisk+extreme+micro+sd+card

but it's slightly more expensive than the original Sandisk one I posted so if the original one works, I would rather go with that.

But those were my ideas. Maybe if someone has a better recommendation or can confirm these are the best ways to go? Also, I notice that people are using even bigger cards as long as they're formatted properly, is there a recommendation for those and how hard would it be to reformat it properly? It sounds way more convenient than having multiple 32gb cards to swap!

Thanks again!

Read speed wise, most microSD cards are comparable so if that's your only concern, the 200gb SanDisk Ultra is your best bet. If you care at all about write speed, you should look elsewhere. Also, be wary of UHS-II spec cards that claim 150mbps read speed (along with a laughable 20mbps write) that require an adapter to achieve such speeds such as this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U77V5KU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_5BxzybEV9MBMT

If you're looking for the best microSD hands down, it's the Samsung 256gb EVO+. MSRP is $249 and Amazon has it for $139. Quite the bargain. A ton are in the wild considering that many people such as myself chose this as the freebie for purchasing a Note7 (or S7/S7 edge). https://smile.amazon.com/Samsung-256GB-EVO-UHS-I-microSDXC/dp/B01JNGCWHU/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483139819&sr=1-6&keywords=evo%2B+256

If you're looking to spend a bit less and can do with half the storage, the Samsung 128gb PRO Select is your next best bet. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01DOB6YUQ?ref=emc_b_5_t

Both of those cards are rated at 90mbps write and read with real life usage hitting within a couple mbps of that.

I would say if all you're doing is learning programming, picking up something like a raspberry pi (Vilros Raspberry Pi 3 Basic Starter Kit, Black Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DMFQZXK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IX0vybT6PS3R4 + some sort of micro SD card like SanDisk Ultra 8GB Class 10 UHS-I MicroSDHC Memory Card with Adapter, Grey / Red, Standard Packaging (SDSDQUAN-008G-G4A) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M55C0VU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FY0vybA14CAK5) is your best bet. The rest of your money can go into programming classes. If your interested in more courses, khanacademy.org has my favorite HTML + CSS + JavaScript courses, and upskillcourses.com just made their Ruby on Rails course free. Just saying, that's an amazing load of information for free that you can do all on your raspberry pi.

There's going to be a lot of handwaving in this calculation, but the number is going to be huge no matter what. You can currently buy data at about 256 Gigabytes per gram on Amazon.

The solar system, from a mass perspective, may as well just be the sun. Which ends up being about 2x10^30 kg. Assuming you spend about half the energy just converting the mass into microSD cards, we are talking about 10^34 microSD cards. Which is 2.5610^36 Gigabytes

There's no great way to put this number in perspective. The closest I can come is that the NSA Utah Data Center is designed to store data on the order of ExaBytes. In those terms, the Solar system could be made into 2.56 10^27 NSA Datacenters worth of microSD cards. All data ever stored digitally was estimated at 295 Exabytes in 2011. Even if we pad that up to 1000 by 2017, we are still looking at 10^24 times more data than has ever been stored by humans.

But at least there's a small way to appreciate that number without understanding it. 10^24 happens to be the weight of the earth in kilograms. So if you can imagine just how massive the entire planet is, how many shovelfuls it would take to dig away the entire Earth, you're starting to understand just how much data we are talking about.

TL;DR: *2.5610^36 Gigabytes** worth of microSD cards. =)

I have the OLED also, and this is the exact SD2Vita I purchased. Sure the price is a little higher than other cards on Amazon/eBay, but I can guarantee you it works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/Funturbo-Ultimate-Version-SD2Vita-Adapter/dp/B07F63FPT3/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=funturbo+sd2vita&qid=1557193790&s=gateway&sr=8-2

The microSD fits very snug into the adapter, and the SD2Vita adapter fits nicely into your Vita slot. I have tested with both a 128gb Sandisk Ultra, and 256gb Samsung EVO. Good luck!

Found something!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002MAPT7U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1369907615&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

Sansa Clip. Only 4gb built in, but microsd for more storage. $30 with free shipping brand new from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007KFXIDE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1369907766&sr=8-2&pi=SL75

32gb micros card for $20

No tax free shipping, just about $50 and is really, honestly, likely the best you can do at your price point.

Ive got the other tough armor spigen case (as I did with my g3, and g5 that was recently lost) this case personally I like it more just because of the kickstand. Also if you haven't already gotten one for yourself or op needs a micro sd card this one is the best for the money since it has a higher read write speed then a ton of the other cards on the market and it helps save the pictures faster when taking them at such high definition. Also great when apps are stored on it since nougat brought back that beloved feature

I see here that the A6300 is still being sold here at 1350CAD (without tax) with 16-50mm OSS Lens (I have no idea what OSS means). Without the lens it's 1250CAD.

The Lumix DMC-G85 with 12-60mm Kit is 1100CAD, tax incl. (or only 1K at Amazon Canada). Which one is better? I can see both having good reviews, but the G85 seems to have more recent reviews.

I do still have one worry. I also want a good zoom. Is 60mm enough? Otherwise I also read about the Coolpix P900 with an 80x zoom

Also, I have found this SD Card here: https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-Extreme-SDSDXXG-128G-GN4IN-Newest-Version/dp/B01J5RH06K/ref=zg_bs_7204570011_11?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HQPYCTF1Z424EDA1QRHT

It has a ton of good reviews so I think it's legit. For the price of 70CAD brand new, I think it's worth it. Is this card fast enough for any of the aforementioned cameras? I really appreciate your help.

I noticed you said Lorries. Are you from the UK? Because it might not be worth the extra to go for some brands over others if they're harder to get or more expensive. The ones I listed are generally considered to be reliable. I think Transcend is seen as tops, I use Adata Premier Pro because they're easier to get at a reasonable price here in Canada.


Edit: looks like the best price currently on AMZ UK is the Sandisk 32GB Video Monitoring card at £16, Amazon Link. Followed by Adata Premier Pro at £26 - Amazon Link. I honestly don't know if there's a benefit to one over the other since they're both endurance cards. YMMV with any card.


I'd give some of those a try and see how it goes. Also maybe consider setting your cams to 720p since your cards will last longer (and record for longer on the same card). or If you have 1440p cam try 1080p mode.

This short video will explain the pitfalls encountered if trying to catch a vandal in the act using a dashcam.
http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/6/23/q-which-car-camera-is-best-for-catching-a-vandal-in-the-act.html


However, I understand that you want to do something so I'm going to suggest the cheapest method I can think of which may or may not work, but you might get lucky.


I would get A118C dashcam, a 128GB memory card, and a portable powerbank.


For the memory card I suggest this: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-128GB-MicroSDXC-Memory-P-SDUX128U160G-GE/dp/B00W77C1W4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466817385&sr=1-2&keywords=128gb+micro+sd


You will need to format the card to fat32 using the free utility such as this http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe and the card will give you approximately 18hrs of continuous recording. Do NOT format the card with the native computer program.


For the powerbank you could get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-10400mAh-PowerPack-Portable-Rechargeable-P-B-10400-24-S02-RB/dp/B014M91EOA/ref=sr_1_40?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466817826&sr=1-40&keywords=powerbank


Here's a link to a A118C if you need it: https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-A118-C-Capacitor-Dashboard/dp/B00SK8B47W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466818121&sr=8-1&keywords=a118c+dash+cam


Set the dashcam up where you think it most appropriate, run the power cable covertly to the powerbank which you are going to hide somewhere (glove box, under dash, under seat, etc) turn it on when you park the car and off the next morning. Remember to recharge the powerbank when it's getting low, probably every few days. Good luck.

Every single time I got memory from the Chinese, they will usually sell like 2gb cards marked as 128gb. Honestly external storage is not nearly as much as it used to be. You can get a nice micro sd card off Amazon for not too much. PNY is a good brand, $30 if you are in the US. (Two years ago I paid 50$ for a micro sd card. Also even if you do find a cheap one from China, the write speed & life span may not go that far. Hope, I helped. Cheers!

I thought i'd share what I just came up with.

I am moving to Germany at the end of the month for about two years, and I will be doing a LOT of traveling during this time. To preserve memories and share my experiences I decided to upgrade and change around my camera bag. I sold my d3300 and lenses and wanted a setup for something portable and not cumbersome that I can take in any situation without being annoying.

My activities I want to capture:

• snowboarding
  
• Wakeboarding
  
• Motorcycling
  
• City adventure
  
• Hiking
  
• etc
  
  Here is what I put together:
  
  

  
  

• $450 GoPro Hero6
  
• $550 on Ebay - Sony RX100 MkIII for stills and some video
  
• $99 Zhiyun Smooth q to fly both the gopro, RX100, and my galaxy s8
  
• $27 leg bag to carry it all conveniently
  
• $70 high speed 128gb sd card for gopro
  
• $20 plate to mount gopro to gimbal
  
• $20 mount set for gopro with high ratings and lots of pieces
  
• splurged here... $50 mount for the motorcycle
  
• $25 two extra batteries and charger with 3 ports for GP
  
• $14 charger plus two extra batteries for the rx100
  
• $9 case for the rx100 so I can cram it in and out of leg bag without fear of harming the camera
  
• $14 grip for front of rx100 so it's easier to shoot with one hand
  
• $40 Boya BY-MM1 Micro Shotgun Mic
  
• $9 mount to attach boya mic to gimbal
  
  Grand total: $1377
  
  You can prob get the gopro plate for less but this one moves it the furthest away forward from the gimbal so it's less likely to get in the shot when shooting in superview or whatever gopro calls it these days.
  
  Also you can get a mkIV or higher as some have stated here if you want to shoot in 4k gimbal stablilized with all three cameras (s8 or equivalent phone included)
  
  I know i'm going to get flamed because it's not a sony mirrorless for what I paid, but for me being able to have all of these on me at any time is really helpful. Also you don't always have to carry anything but the gimbal and your cellphone in order to capture good video, which you will always have on you.
  
  Also I was hesitant to save the money on the Boya Mic over the RODE but the sound quality from it is very good.
  
  And one last note, I got the mkIII because I will be using the rx100 90% of the time for stills and very rarely for video. Really the only video with the rx100 will be low light and night video because of the large image sensor for it's form factor.

This is the microSD i bought. The 128GB one is 60 something dollars.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU3Q6S4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

From the Amazon page: Ideal for Android-based smartphones and tablets. Read speeds of up to 90MB/s; write speeds of up to 60MB/s. Recommended by GoPro for use with HERO, HERO3, HERO3+, HERO4, HERO5, and HERO+ LCD. UHS speed Class 3 (U3), video speed Class 30 (V30) and Class 10 for 4K UHD and full HD video.

There's some super new fancy ones that are 256GB or more that can get pretty pricy though, but in general, 128GB and below is pretty affordable. It's regular sized SD at high capacities are for like actual cameras and stuff and those can get very pricy.

This is actually a great cheap project for a beginner to make! Just buy the following:

1. WAV Trigger
   
2. Arduino UNO
   
3. Kingston SDC4/16GBET
   
   You'll also need a trigger/keyboard/switch system to play the sound files. The WAV Trigger can be loaded up with 4096 sound effects/songs of your choosing, and up to 14 can be played simultaneously. You can build your own music instrument for under $100! So even though it doesn't generate square waves, that can be done in Audacity, and you can also use this project in the future to play any sounds you want, from square waves, to piano, drums, Arnold's voice, etc. It's a great soundboard!

I needed something on the cheap end when I first got my 3DS, so I picked up one of these guys: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-microSDHC-Memory-Package/dp/B003WGJYCY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1481729298&sr=8-5&keywords=Sandisk+micro+SD+card+32GB

32GB is pretty significant, and since I buy all my games digitally, I'm able to have 8-9 games on the DS without any issue, sometimes more if I'm going back and playing an older game. Fire Emblem Awakening + DLC, Fates +DLC, Monster Hunter 4/Generations and a couple other bigger games were always on the card with 20k+ blocks to spare.

If you need something, or want something a little larger; https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro-Memory-Tablets-All-New/dp/B013TMNKAW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1481729403&sr=8-5&keywords=Sandisk+micro+SD+card+64GB I've had great luck with the Sandisk 64GB HC in other electronics (I have one in an adapter in my PSP.)

If you're not a fan of SanDisk, or want to stick with a bigger brand, Samsung makes some great MicroSD cards as well, specifically this which I just picked up for my work cell phone; https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME64DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YQA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481729493&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+micro+sd+card

I recommend you not to use Adoptable Storage. The card you chose is slow compared to storage chips on the phone and that could cause problems with apps. In specs sheet of most cards, write speed is not even written, which is generally like ~8-10 time slower than read speed. Always check for write speed since you are going to take photos and videos.

If you still want to use Adoptable Storage, go for Samsung ones with UHS-3 like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DOB6YUQ/ref=psdc_3015433011_t1_B01CO48M36

You can also get Evo+, Pro (for general usage, 1080p videos, without adoptable storage) or Pro+ ones but those looks like discontinued. Evo Select looks like the new series.

But you can save your photos directly to SD card even if you do not use Adoptable Storage, but still recommend to get a UHS-3 card minimum.

Also, when you first activate your phone, you should have got an offer from Google. 100GB cloud storage, use that too if you have forgotten you have activated it.

Also, beware that some sellers on Amazon are selling counterfeit cards. Always check that "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" is written while buying SD cards.

Depends on your budget and what you want from it. The Blueskysea B1W is the current bang for the buck model if you want the best one for less than $60.

If you want dual camera, GPS, etc... then the prices start to climb real fast.

And make sure to buy a high endurance memory card like this...
https://smile.amazon.com/SanDisk-Endurance-Monitoring-Adapter-SDSDQQ-032G-G46A/dp/B00V5Q1K3O/

32gb is a good bang for the buck size price with 64gb also good.

You could save money, and buy more, if you didn't go with the CanaKit and built your own. Using a mix of ebay and amazon you can get a complete RPI3 Kit for <$60

(Before anyone says anything about some off brand power supply, that you need one of those high quality power supplys yada yada, I have that exact power supply and it works great. I'm pretty sure they all use the exact same ac-dc converter, just different housing and cable design. Currently doing some more tests on my pi3 overclocked to 1.35ghz and stress testing it to see the temps. Just finished another test, 22x22mm heat sink + 10mm fan + arctic silver and the avg temp over 5mins was 41C and I never got the undervolt warning)

For low-risk jobs in which I know I'll be handing off SD cards at the end of the night, I am pleasantly surprised with generic Microcenter cards. They work great with 4k video on the GH4, and I don't care as much if they don't find their way back to me.

For jobs that I care a little more about I use Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB every time. Sandisk is a very good company, I've had one Sandisk SSD go bad on me and their customer service was a pleasure to work with.

You can't use an SDHC card you need an old school SD card (they only make these up to 2G). I personally got one of these. Follow the stickied guide on this subreddit. You don't need any emulators for Wii or Gamecube games or games that where sold on the Virtual console by Nintendo. There are emulators available if you want games not in those three list, but almost everything worth playing came out on the Virtual console and controller support is really good for them (classic pro or gamecube controller is the way to go for these. They are already mapped and everything).

The overview of the whole process is

• Using MiiMod or something to trigger a buffer overflow to install BootMii and the Homebrew channel (This is what you launch all your hacked apps from)
  
• loading up some homebrew apps onto your SD card (USB Loader GX, Nintendont, YAWMM, d2x-cios)
  
• Use d2x-cios to install the correct cios so you can play file images of Wii and gamecube games
  
  EDIT: You can use SDHC cards if you have system menu 4.0 or greater.

The price per gigabyte for flash storage vs. optical disc storage remains as much of a problem today as it was in the N64 era. For a rough idea of the difference, let's look at average consumer prices for a spindle of blu ray discs vs. a high-capacity flash storage device:

http://www.amazon.com/PNY-128GB-MicroSDXC-Memory-P-SDUX128U160G-GE/dp/B00W77C1W4

128GB of flash storage for $30 (an average price of slightly over $0.23/GB), vs.

http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Quantum-OQBDR06LT-50-Blu-Ray-Recordable/dp/B009KXE4VO

about 1.25TB of optical storage for $24 (an average price of <$0.02/GB).

Flash storage remains, to this day, over an order of magnitude more expensive than optical storage per unit of data. Scale that up times hundreds of millions for every game printed and it's easy to see why we're still using discs, and why third parties flocked to Sony in the N64 era. Yes, cartridges have their advantages, but for third parties it's not worth paying literally 10x the price per storage unit - that cuts into their profit margins (especially considering that the size of the average AAA game today is probably something like 30GB minimum).

For that reason alone I sincerely doubt the NX will return to anything like cartridges.

The Extreme is better in every way. Faster read/write and optimized for shooting in 4K. It's only $6 more. Just be sure to get the one that is rated U3/A1/V30.

If you do opt for the Ultra, just be sure that it is the one that is rated A1, so it is optimized for use with smartphone apps.

I think so, the games will be on the game cards, so it should only be patches, save files, and screenshots saved on the console itself.

Evo+ is just a line of SD cards from Samsung that are well reviewed. The 64GB version was 20 bucks on amazon, which I thought was a good thing to have just for possible future use. Here's the link to it if you're interested https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME64DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YQA/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484454883&sr=1-2&keywords=micro+sd+card

Well then it depends on how much more you're willing to invest. If you've got a USB flash drive with 8 or more GB free and/or don't have a Brawl disk, then you can follow this guide to install Homebrew and USB Loader GX (which can also be used to load any other games you decide to put on the flash drive, though other games will require more space), but it'll be a little more effort, plus like a 0.5% chance to brick your Wii.

On the other hand, if you do have a Brawl disc, 2GB non-SDHC SD cards are really cheap on Amazon.

Take your pick, but also do your homework. If you don't have the necessary components, at least take a look at what it would take to procure them.

I have this camera, with this charger, this visor mount, this MicroSD Card, and an extra long mini USB cable I had laying around for my set up and it works great. It's extremely easy to set it all up yourself. I've had the camera for over a year now, and so far it has survived 1 Houston Summer. In total I've spent about a $100 on this whole set up, and i've already had a couple close calls.

Here are some video examples from my camera: 1, 2, and here is how it does during the night time.

Also, there is a suction mount available for that camera as well.

>Is there any benefit to the vita over the psp?

I had also been a PSP faithful several years ago, and had several doubts about switching to vita. Now, my PSP remains in its case tucked away in my closet.

With Adrenaline running on a hacked vita, you will have a fully functional 6.61 CFW PSP on your system, with some extra features such as bi-linear filtering and save states. All of the popular PSP plugins work fine. (There are even applications that will allow you to create PSP 'bubbles' on the LiveArea screen, allowing you to play those titles without booting into Adrenaline each time).

Hacking the vita is a bit more involved on 3.61+, true, but with the proper research its not a problem. Also know that the vita hacking procedure is relatively safe, as you don't have to flash memory or make any major system OS modifications. Failed attempts will not result in a bricked vita (unless that is your objective). Read the guides, watch a couple of videos and you will be fine.

The vita memory card is certainly a drawback, however they are only necessary for OLED (a 10$ 4GB card should be fine in that case). Once the vita is hacked, you can use a sd2vita to take advantage of microsd storage size/price. Again, setting up a microsd on the vita takes a little more work than was required on the PSP (a simple format), but research will go a long way.

Yeah it can be a bit overwhelming. There are a lot of options and unfortunately, a lot of shit cams from China.

The selection you have picked out is good. I think you did a good job picking out the features of each cam, so go with what’s most important to you.

Dual cams are certainly nice. Some things like GPS logger are more gimmicks than actual useful features. Also regarding app use, it’s generally slow file transfer for all apps.

I’d go with the Rexing V1P Pro or check out the A129 Duo.

Also, if your camera doesn’t come with an AD card, make sure to get a high endurance model like this SanDisk. Dashcams place a lot of read write cycles on the cards so regular ones fail often.

I used to recommend E-Prance Mini 0803 or 0805 but it looks like they're not making them anymore. They're great little guys that you could hide behind the mirror and they were available under $100. These days if you're trying to spend under $100 I'd say trying this one.

Some other general rules for dash cams that you should follow:

• Make sure that it has motion detection so that it saves/locks clips when you get into an accident or whatever.
  
  
• Make sure that it has a capacitor instead of a battery. A parked car in Los Angeles summer heat will get extremely hot and destroy a lithium ion battery. Meanwhile a capacitor will work fine. Dashcams with capacitors are generally made to withstand heat better than those without, they're made with this use case basically.
  
  
• If they don't have internal memory, make sure to get a high endurance memory card made for security purposes like this. A regular memory card will be dead within a year... All flash NAND has a certain number of writes before it's effectively useless, and stand SD cards can't withstand the constant writes of a dash cam.

I just recently got one from Ebay, you can try there. I'm sure the preowned from Gamestop are fine as well.

As far as memory..my recommendation is to pick up (2) of these http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-16GB-MicroSDHC-Memory-Class/dp/B001F7AJKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334935355&sr=8-1
and (1) of these http://www.amazon.com/MicroSD-MicroSDHC-Adapter-Converts-Cards/dp/B001RPEJA4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1334935402&sr=1-1
this will work great in the PSP 3000 and will save you alot of money as compared to just getting a 32gb pro duo card.

I understand, and your printer isn't really that old, so I'd be surprised if it didn't take SDHC cards. Do keep in mind that how you format the card may matter.

Here is a 2GB Card - pretty basic (non-SDHC), which should have zero compatibility issues:

https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Flash-Memory-Card-TS2GSDC/dp/B000FGNM6I

Here is a 4 GB card, which should work due to the fact that the printer originally came with one.

https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-Speed-Memory-TS4GSDHC4/dp/B003QJV2IG

From what I've read, greater than 32GB will not work, but up to that may be possible. That simple 2GB is nearly 100% guarantee, and honestly 2GB should be more than adequate.

You need:

• A RaspberryPi - newer versions have a better CPU (but you can get a Zero for $5). If you want to play N64, go with a newer Raspberry Model B.
  
• A +5.1V micro USB power supply (for RetroPie, a 2.5A one works well)
  
• A USB Keyboard
  
• An HDMI cable
  
• A gaming controller of your choosing (USB cord if you can/otherwise bluetooth)
  
• An SD card - these can come pre-loaded if you shop around
  
  Optional:
  
  
• A nice case (according to OP's friend, Legos).
  
• SD Card Reader/Writer (if you didn't buy an SD card preloaded; some laptops have them)
  
• A bluetooth dongle (for PS3/PS4/XBox/XBoxOne/etc.)
  
• A wifi dongle (if you don't want a hard wired connection)
  
  Download RetroPie
  
  Follow video here:
  
  https://retropie.org.uk/documentation/installing-retropie/
  
  Might I add, you can setup SSH on the retropie, so you can connect to the machine and upload ROMs without having to use a USB keyboard. Google for old ROMs, I've used LoveROMs in the past.
  
  Total build time ~1-2 hours. Total cost $30 - $65.

Those are some nice visualizations.

I've always found the most impressive tech advancement to be digital storage, particularly flash memory and the way we keep finding innovative ways to drastically increase storage density over and over without even shrinking the die. Right now we know for absolute certain that we can increase density 250-fold over the current highest without any new innovations. The thing holding it back right now is cost.

If you trace Flash back to its roots you find it was first available as a 1MB PCMCIA card costing $350 in 1991. Since then cost per GB of flash memory has halved every 14 months without fail. If that rate continues, which seems likely (it's probably even accelerating), 64TB MicroSD cards will be under $30 within 10 years.

If that seems impossible, remember that 10 years ago the biggest MicroSD available was 2gb and cost $100.

Ray Kurzweil and his impossibly optimistic predictions

I bought several [PNY 128GB High Speed MicroDXXC Memory Cards] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1W4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_UsTsybE8JRN7C) that were on post Christmas sale ($19.99) last year. I used them on all of my devices either with adapters or without as needed per device. I neither have had issue with inadequate or degraded video play speed nor with temperature issues. Works great installed loaded with owned media in a Kingston MobileLite where Internet is not available or when you wish to save on data usage. Bought one to test and then ended up buying 12 more while still on sale. Wish they would go back on sale. Perhaps after the holidays. Memory storage devices seem to go on deep discount sale in the beginning of each year.

This is also great because microSD cards of 32GB and above have dropped significantly in price lately. When I got my Thunderbolt last year, I think a 32GB was over $100, now it's around $30 or less. I'm convinced it was a pretty good chunk of the $249 on-contract price.


The only caveat would be that if you opt for 64GB, most older phones may not support SDXC.

> Very good price. Two memory cards is more than enough to begin with. Always wait as long as possible to buy memory - prices will always go down over the long term. There was a time when a 64GB card cost over $500. In three years you will be able to get 256GB card for $25 so until you NEED a bigger card, wait.
> Lexar is a good brand. Amazon house brand cards are good too. I have pqi and Sony ones too. Look for UHI cards, class 10.

I bought the Samsung Pro 64gb at $30 :DDD

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-64GB-Class-MB-SG64D-AM/dp/B00IVPU6BY

You guys should check it out!!!!

Not saying we should buy this cause it's expensive as heck, but I am pretty sure this is the card that Nintendo showed during the Treehouse segment. It was definitely a Samsung 256GB something.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7L03OS

I purchased this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013CP5IWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

SanDisk Extreme 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 Card with Adapter (SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA)

In the recommended list they have

SanDisk Extreme UHS-I 64GB (SDSDQXL-064G-A46A - 64GB) or (SDSQXNE-064G-AN6MA)

And the one from amazon has a code of SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA

I didn't think that the G vs the A in "ANG6MA" mattered because the people giving feedback about the card said it worked great. Also, when I contacted GoPro support, they also confirmed that it was the right SD card.

Yes. Be sure to read the negative reviews. Many of the reviews also say write speeds are actually much lower than advertised.

A couple weeks ago I narrowed SD card options down to the Samsung 256GB 95MB/s MicroSDXC EVO Select. Looks overall pretty solid to me. A little pricey, but if it's me, I would pay a little more to make sure I get something actually good.

And, here is a helpful review to help spot fake Samsung SD cards.

If you were looking to spend a little more then the YI Action Camera works pretty good. I personally use it on the trails and it works well.

Along with the camera I would get the Proshot Helmet Mount System if it works with your helmet. I also use this on the trails and it hasn't moved at all since I put it on due to the heavy-duty velcro they use (I've also crashed a couple times while it was on and it hasn't budged). The chin mount also has no wind resistance, so when going fast speeds your head wouldn't get pulled to a side and branches wouldn't knock it off your helmet.

A Sandisk Extreme MicroSD is what I use and it is fast enough to do 1080p 60fps.

Overall this would cost you ~$140 for all three items. The camera also comes with a free battery offer on amazon so you would have two batteries to get you through a couple riding sessions. (Each battery lasts a little more than an hour)

Here is some footage at 1080p 60fps

Nope, a SDXC card will do just fine with all the games. as long as you have one of those you will be fine.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME64DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YQA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1485121518&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+sd+card

this is a link to some good and cheap SDXC cards, they are water, Temprature,magnet, and x-ray proof( and best of all, same retail price as competing brands)

So don't worry about write and read speeds as long as it is SDXC

Just tried another PSU, no change. This is my SD card (I use a separate SD card of the same brand/make for Retropie & Recalbox). Unfortunately, I don't have another TV I can try it on, only have 1 HDMI capable TV.

Fortunately, most games play ok, but enough games have wonky audio that it's frustrating. I know Retropie is capable of playing Super Mario World without audio problems, so I'm dying to figure out why I'm having issues.

Just an idea, would overclocking my Pi make a difference?

I love when that happens!

I would love this card so I can hack my PSTV!

> I'm new to all of this, and I have zero experience with coding/programing/etc.

Do not feel intimidated. This isn't difficult. It'll take some time and patience, but it's very rewarding getting your system up and running.

--------------------------

> I was thinking of getting an all in one kit like this oneIs there any downside to this?

Do not buy that over-priced garbage. The biggest gripe to the kit is the unknown PSU, and small/generic memory card.

What you'll need:

• $40 Raspberry Pi 3
  
• $20 MicroSDXC Card - any size. 64GB for $20 seems to be a solid deal.
  
• $20 Case - it can be as low as $5. I choose this one for fun.
  
• $10 Power Supply - You can try one you have around the house first. If you ever get the low-voltage warning icon, you'll need a proper PS
  
• $13 Mini Keyboard - I use mine all the time. Others use basic USB keyboards from Goodwill. Others SSH into the console. This is optional.
  
  Again, there are some very optional parts above. It can be as cheap or expensive as you want.
  
  
• Cheap: Pi3 w. $5 case and have everything else (keyboard, memory card, power supply, controller) at home, you're at $45.
  
• Not cheap: Pi3 w. $20 case, $45 128GB MicroSDXC, $20 back-lit keyboard, $10 power supply, $50 Wii U Pro bluetooth controller = $145
  
  --------------------------
  
  >So If I get this kit, I can just hook it up to my tv with an HDMI, add my ROMs via SD card, and plug in my USB controllers and I'm good to go?
  
  If you go the route of piecing together your own kit from higher quality parts, the only thing missing is the RetroPie image on the SD card.
  
  At a very high-level:
  
  
• Flash RetroPie onto your SD card. To make your life easier, you'll need access to a computer.
  
• Power up the assembled unit (SD card in the Pi. Pi in the case. Connect a keyboard. Power on).
  
• Configure WiFi
  
• Enable SSH
  
• Transfer Roms
  
• Configure a controller

Hey, thanks for the write-up! This is very helpful! I had no idea that there was a difference between SDHC and SDXC, or what the classes meant. I'm looking at the Samsung 128GB SDXC U3 cards, and I see things like Pro+ and Pro Select, and I'm not quite sure what the difference is here, if there even is one. They both seem to be class 10, 95mbps. Any input here would be greatly appreciated!

Just checked out your link. Has a lot of good reviews, hopefully they're legit reviews. Price seems fair with the amount of memory you get. But I've always known Sandisk to be a good brand. I've hadn't had any personal experience with Samsung.

Is there a major notice difference between 80-90 read speeds?

I was looking at this one.. SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card with Adapter (SDSQXVF-064G-GN6MA) [Newest Version] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HU3Q6S4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WkLPybR7ANAZW

Nice my DR-70D is great for this too as it mounts just below a camera.

Which speedbooster did you pick up by the way? Wanting to price it out with the lens.

Oh btw, do you use anything besides a normal SD card like this... SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J5RH06K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

If you don't have a modded wii, the easiest way requires this, this, and one of these.

You download GBI, format the SD card as FAT if it isn't already, copy the GBI files to the root of the SD card, rename gbi.dol to autoexec.dol, plug the SD into the memory card adapter, stick that into the second memory card slot, pop the Action Replay disk in, and turn on the Gamecube.

Easy is relative but I think its not too bad for most.

If you do have a modded wii you need a regular Gamecube memory card, and SD card (regular SD, not SDHC or SDXC. the one linked above will work), and an exploitable game (I use Windwaker). Extrems wrote some good instructions on that method.

The manufacturer is APEMAN. I've never heard of them, but it works great so far.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5BC6BE

Also, make sure you get a 'high-endurance' SD card to handle the constant re-writes:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V5Q1K3O

Try it anyway even without the receipt. If it doesn't work, cheapest one on amazon is $6 bucks. Memory's gotten super cheap.

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-MicroSDHC-Memory-Card/dp/B003WGJYCY

ULPT: Buy the Amazon one, return the old one. I don't do unethical stuff like that, that's up to you. 6 bucks is a cup of coffee at Starbucks nowadays.

giant hugs KeiroD, you are amazing.

Hello, Goodbye~. One of these to help keep baby pictures backed-up and safe, not to mention small enough to keep hidden and out of sight of said child, hehehe...

The Samsung PRO series are the fastest around. Amazon Link. I can't find the post on XDA now but there was a member that was showing tests that this was actually faster than the internal memory. Played all games, including K1 optimized HL2 with no noticeable slow downs. So it's definitely doable.

I love this guy https://smile.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME64DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YQA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484521161&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+sd+evo+64

It's not the fastest, but it is still fast and $20 is a great price for 64GB.

This is what I use in my n3ds and I'll be phasing all my SD cards to evo selects this year probably.

You will not need the TF Card Plugin for StorageMgr, something is off.

I would recommend you start over again and use the following guide: https://vita.hacks.guide/storagemgr

This is the trusted guide the community recommends. I can tell you that I have used it for 4 SD2Vita jobs and it worked without issue for all of them.

You should be setting your SD2Vita to use ux0, that is where all Vita App's need to launch from. You can use your Vita Memory Card as the uma0 if you want to use it for Adrenaline.

Lastly, make sure you are using SD2Vita 5.0, that one seems to work for everyone. I have tested it on PS 1000, PS 2000 and PSTV and it works on them all

I've been using a 128 GB one and it's been great. No issues at all and it always has space. I need to remember to dump content often though. If all of you footage is on one card and something happens to it, you're out of luck. Hope that helps!

200GB ok?

sandisk ultra @ amazon.ca $101

If you need 256, you could also order from B&H or amazon.com where both are pretty good for shipping to canada. b7h include taxes and customs before shipping. (or at least they try to)

I understand. If you do go for a cheap camera this one is about the only option you have left.

It's mostly a lottery if you will get something "decent" that's somewhat reliable or something that where the video looks zoomed in and looks pretty bad. In terms of MicroSD, I found Transcend to be the cheapest sold by Amazon instead of being sold by another seller, which assures you it's not gonna be fake. Transcend is a great brand too.

Edit: I found a Kingston that's also sold by Amazon, although I vaguely remember those cheap models not being compatible with it, not sure.

I previously bought a generic SD card off of eBay for $20, but after 4GB has been used, all the data became corrupt. I got a Kingston, same thing happened (wasn't a genuine one). I returned both, and one day, I saw some genuine Samsung 32GB cards going for $20. They're normally $30, and I picked one up, and it's working well so far. Here are some good ones I found on Amazon:

• [Samsung Micro SD 32GB Class 10]
  (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Micro-32GB-Class-UHS-I/dp/B00AWBHFRI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1375394027&sr=8-4&keywords=samsung+micro+sd)

1. As long as its a memory stick duo it should work. Even adapters like this work: http://www.amazon.com/MicroSD-MicroSDHC-Adapter-Converts-Cards/dp/B001RPEJA4/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1335798672&sr=8-26
   
   
2. The main advantages are that you can run homebrew, emulators, and pirated games... its very simple to do and there are lots of tutorials around. Here are a couple really good guides:

That is a good video btw.

I ended up going with the Samsung Pro hopefully it'll work out. Thanks

If you just buy what you need separately it will come out a bit cheaper. Except start with the base Cana-kit, because you get the power adapter plus the little heat sinks for less than buying together. My kit was only $39.99, looks like price went up $3.

Comes out to $65.50 (and less if you don't need an HDMI cable). You save $10 over the $75 kit, plus you get brand name SD card.

Pi + Power cable ($42.99) https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Micro-Supply-Listed/dp/B01C6FFNY4/

32gb card ($9.99) https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME32DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6Y5Q/

This is the best value MicroSD Card in terms of memory and read/write speed.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-MF128DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YUQ

This is a VERY fast MicroSD card you can find (128GB), but is more expensive.


256 GB, in my opinion, is way too expensive right now. Prices should be better by the end of the year.

These work perfectly fine and are fairly cheap. If you have Prime, you'll get it fast as well.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J5RH06K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There's the link for the one I bought in Aug. 2017. It seems to be working well, no complaints. I'm very happy with the laptop. Good luck.

I have the PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_VDFzwbZ4KPW6A). It works great and also records 4k without issues. Another one to look at would be the Samsung Pro which is better in my opinion.

• Raspberry Pi 3 - $35
  
• Slick case with heat sinks - $6
  
• 5v 2.5a power supply - $10 (or free if you already have one)
  
• 8GB Micro SD Card - $7 (or free if you already have one)
  
• RasPlex OS - (free)
  
  Maximum Total: $58
  
  That would give you a full-fledged Plex client with all the features you mentioned (I think--someone jump in here if I'm wrong).

Holly Jolly Christmas! :D This isn't an add-on, but it's a small item under $5. If that doesn't work for ya, here's another item.

I loooooooove Christmastime. I am looking forward to seeing all the lights around the neighbourhood... and trees.

Thanks for the contest!

I think the convenience of a bundle and free 2 day shipping will make a lot of people overlook an increase in price.

And buying all these components separate its only looking at like a 6 dollar increase, for your 56 dollars are you buying the same things?

Thats 77 dollars. I'm sure you could find it for cheaper, but those are all comparable to whats actually in that kit (or exactly whats in that kit)

I would personally not go with the Evo Micro Sd card. I'm getting the Samsung MicroSd Pro. Mainly because it uses MLC storage instead of TLC like the Evo. There are pro's and con's for both.

TLC-Allows for a much higher storage capacity.

MLC-Has a greater life span by being able to read/write a greater number of times.

-edit- Source for those concerned/curious.

> the idea that a decent SD card is slower than a 5400 rpm HDD is laughable.

you might want to check your data again.

here is a list of micro sd card benchmarks from 2016 https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/fastest-microsd-cards

the fastest micro sd card they tested managed 86MB/s sequential read and 83MB/s random read. average cards on that list, including class 10s were 50 MB/s or less.

here is an Amazon listing for the expensive Samsung EVO card he talked about in the video

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME256DA-AM/dp/B01G7L03OS/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1484358997&sr=8-13&keywords=samsung+evo+micro+sd

Samsungs own listing for the product says its capable of 95 MB/s. real world performance is likely lower than manufacturer listing, it always is.

your own link shows that the best sandisk card is rated at 95 MB/s. independent benchmarks show it lower.

here is a benchmark for a 5400rpm hard drive from 2011 - http://blog.macsales.com/11825-when-slower-is-actually-faster

it averaged at 110MB/s.

here is a benchmark for a 10000rpm hard drive, since you claim that sd cards are faster than that.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5729/western-digital-velociraptor-1tb-wd1000dhtz-review/2

it averaged at 213MB/s for sequential read

he is right. only the extremely high end microsd cards can get close to a good 5400rpm hard drive, let alone a 10000rpm hd like you claim.

turns out you are the one who doesnt know what he is talking about

I am currently using the 64gb sandisk extreme UHS 3. I know it isn't as cheap at ~$30 but it is awesome since I use it as an internal storage for my phone.

SanDisk Extreme 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 Card with Adapter (SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CP5IWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_WrVLxb1SXYACT

I ordered this one. SanDisk Extreme 64GB

Not quite as fast as some of the others out there but still gets great speeds for the price (~80MB/s reads and ~75MB/s writes).

I'm happy to help answer answer anything I can for you Griff, I can finally pay it forward haha!

3.60 Enso is exactly where you want to be, any lower and some homebrew may not work correctly, Enso runs the initial hack everytime the device starts up, while with later versions of firmware require you to use the h-encore exploit every time the device reboots, so thats why 3.60 is so good!

To run your inital exploits on a 1000 series, a vita memory card is required since there is no internal memory on these models, after that, you can buy this adapter to use a micro sd card:

Funturbo Ultimate Version SD2Vita 5.0 Memory Card Adapter, PS Vita PSVSD Micro SD Adapter PSV 1000/2000 PSTV FW 3.60 HENkaku Enso System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F63FPT3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hc-JDb512743G

I use a samsung 128gb micro sd card with the sd2vita adapter, and it works very well! Once your on 3.60, you can reroute where the vita accesses memory, which we make it to the game slot for the sd2vita adapter, and everything runs from there!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

The SDSQXAF-032G-GN6MA and SDSQXAF-064G-GN6MA are the same card in different capacities. Amazon lists the card by the 64GB SKU, but you can select the 32GB in the listing, which is the one GoPro has on its approved list for Hero7 Black. Either should be just fine.

Here's the one I picked up (SanDisk Extreme 128 GB -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DYN4VPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -- $60). Honestly, it's hard to know how it compares to the the suggested cards in the original post... My impression is that it should be fine though.

>I definitely wouldn’t wanna get the Vita because of the damn proprietary storage cards alone. What a joke. Otherwise I’d be all over it.


You can buy a Micro SD to Vita adapter card for $9 on Amazon.

>If I can find a legit battery for my PSP I think that might be the best route for me.

If you have a 3000, finding a good battery will be kind of hard but it is a good option.

You'll want one (or more) of these paired with a couple of 16GB microSD cards. It costs about $25 to get 32GB of space as opposed to about $75 for a 32GB MS Pro Duo card.

You can also get this which is just one of those adapters with two 16GB microSD cards included. The availability and prices change on Amazon all the time, so just search for "ms pro duo microsd" to see what the current best deals are.

While it is possible to get 128 gb on a microsd card, those are very expensive per gigabyte. The best memory storage with the smallest size, high capacity, and very low price per gigabyte is a 32 gb microsd card, which amazon sells for 31.98, or about a dollar per gigabyte.
If you want to go up one size, to usb sticks, check out this usb stick. The only thing past the port itself is a metal structure to help you hold on to it.
And going one more size up, to hard drives, you can get a 2tb external hd for just $99. That's just 5 cents per gigabyte.

You can get a refund. Don't let it die. Also you don't need extreme. You need this exact card:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IVPU7AO?keywords=64%20gb%20microsd&qid=1453486887&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

I recently upgraded from that exact EVO to this bad mother:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W77C1W4?keywords=128%20gb%20microsd&qid=1453486950&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3

Both work perfectly.

Just booted up a fresh Raspbian install with this and it worked fine:

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-microSDHC-SDC4-16GBET/dp/B00DYQYLQQ

I also had an old NOOBS card that was actually a micro-SD adapter, like this:

https://www.adafruit.com/products/102

and that worked fine too (I don't think I got it from Adafruit though, I think it came in a MAKE starter kit).

If you are on a tight budget getting a Yi or Yi 4k is not a bad decision at all.

Most people simply replace/overlay the original audio with music later.

If you though want to do a Vlog-style travel video a X3000 will not only give you better audio but also a high quality and stabilized video.

One advantage, which bith the Yi-cameras don't have is, that the Sony is splashproof and dustproof, which means you can use it without the case during rain/ at the beach without the risk of damaging your camera and still get good audio. With the Yi you nearly always have to use the case when you are outdoor, so it would render the already bad audio useless anyways.

It is your money, your choice. I hope I could help you with the decision with this reply.

If you have further questions, just reply to this comment.

• Nic
  
  P.S.: Don't forget, that you have to get a SD card (I recommend this for the X3000) for either camera.
  
  Also you might want to get additional batteries or a powerbank to exchange an empty one and charge on the go.

You'll be waiting like a month, though. I'd honestly cancel that order and order it from Amazon for the extra $1. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000FGNM6I/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1406958197&sr=8-1&keywords=2gb+sd&condition=new

I love DealExtreme, but I usually buy like 5-10 things at a time late at night when I'm tired, and then get the surprise package of goodies a month later.

Thanks for the clarification. Since I have a backup of my Zee S2 Config and a backup of my zwave controller, if my SD card failed like yours did, I should be able to restore to a new one?

Would suggest keeping something like as a spare SD Card?

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Endurance-Monitoring-Adapter-SDSDQQ-064G-G46A/dp/B00V5Q1K3O/

This SD Card is definitely integral to my human spirit because without it, how will I watch movies on my tablet!?

Well first thing to get out of the way is that I'm a Communist, I was born in a tree outside of Jacksonville, Florida, I have a black belt in ironing, and I can speak six languages including Q, Pluto and Alexander Graham Bell.

The samsung Pro cards are pretty good.

what is the difference between the Pro and the EVO? i ordered this one

*nevermind there is a comparison down the page. looks like Pro is better so im sure ill be happy with what i ordered

Any card is probably fast enough, it just depends on how long are you willing to wait :D But seriously, something like this SDCARD is probably one of the best cards you could have (that was just a quick search, I am not saying that that one card is the chosen one). But of course, there are a lot of sdcards you can buy. Just search for "UHS U3" microsd.

Before I ask my question, I want to let all know I have done my research to the best of my abilities, however I am terrible when it comes to tech specs, so I am asking. I am going to retransfer my data back from the 2ds XL to my 3ds XL. But before I do, I want to upgrade the SD card in the 3DS XL which is the stock one. I just want something like 8GB or 16GB (I have a lot of physical cartridges). Go online and I find this. However, I am confused on 2 parts.

1. Does a class 10 mean the console will load faster, load the games faster even if I am using a physical cartridge? (also what does that "I" next to the HC mean?)
   
   
2. So when I want to swap the SD cards, I just stick the new SD card in and do the transfer. Is that correct?
   
   Oh, and if this is a good or bad option for an SD card, please let me know!
   
   Edit: Any thoughts on this brand?

Samsung sells a great 256gb card on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01G7L03OS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468557731&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=256gb+micro+sd+card&dpPl=1&dpID=41Tu66N6mSL&ref=plSrch

It is a popular belief that SanDisk Ultra is not a good choice. I have no idea whether it's really true or not, but from experience a 64GB Sandisk Ultra card in one of my dash cams have been running like a clockwork for the past year and a half. That said, if you don't mind spending an extra buck then I wouldn't risk it and get a High Endurance card. By the way even Sandisk has one.

If we throw the issue of gamines that are going to run on it being available on other android devices, it's not so bad.

First off, you can see features like using a micro-SD card instead of proprietary bs like what the Vita uses. (64 GB Announced at $200, 32GB at $85).


Now, a 32GB Micro-SD is going to run you around 20$ and a 64GB Micro-SD around $55


I mean, if you'd like to rationalize the cost there is already 60-150$ cheaper storage.


IIRC, it does have better processing power (Correct me if i'm wrong) than the competition, but IMO it's going to come down to game availability assuming there are no lacks in quality. It does look like nVidia has tried to put as many features as possible into this device, but only time will tell.

Pretty sure it will be this: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Micro-Memory-256GB/dp/B01G7L03OS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469754996&sr=8-1&keywords=256gb+micro+sd+card

I don't think the Samsung UFS card is out yet, so most likely this one.

>Do you know if it is fast enough?

I don't, and I think there are better options.

One of the problems with going onto Reddit before I have my morning coffee is that my brain is only have half awake. The music, phone, video part registered in my brain, but the 4k part didn't (probably because my old phone can't even come close to that). Either of these two Samsung's would be better. The cheaper one has faster advertised write speeds.

Windows 10 takes up 7gb out of 32gb. Let's round it up to 10gb. Considering OP doesn't play games, 22gb is more than enough space. In addition, you have MicroSDXC. Need more space? How about 128gb more space for $30.

How much space to need to do what the OP wants to do - which is mostly use Internet?

> Your best bet is to buy a refurbished previous generation business laptop.

I don't know why you're telling someone to buy used, old, crappy (not SSD) technology for about the same price (or higher) compared to a brand new and faster machine. SSD on a used laptop for less than $230? Good luck. OP has a tight budget - they can't afford it so they're stuck with HDD, a used one at that.

> Taken care of those business laptops will last 10+ years with incremental battery upgrades.

I manage about 30 of these right now and we're replacing all these with new SSD models because HDDs last 4 years. Battery isn't the problem - it's the wear and tear. If they're business laptops then businesses don't generally care about maintaining them since it's cheaper to replace them once depreciation benefits wear off. So you're stuck with an old, used, scuffed, slow, more expensive piece of equipment with no hint of a warranty and likely have a terrible battery (which would cost $50+)... or get something that's brand new, fast, cheap, expandable storage, under warranty for less.

I use this one found on Amazon - Seems to work pretty well.

With the SD cards and the internal storage, it's possible that they're going to be doing some caching of assets that are likely to be needed soon to the onboard storage when playing games. That would be a possible way to get around people who buy the cheapest, slowest SD cards. They could also warn when a cheap, slow SD card is inserted and that it may slow things down.

But you're quite correct that newer SD cards have vastly improved read-write speeds. U3 cards are still a bit pricier than others, but not really too much more than a C10/U1 card. And if you look at the read speeds, you're getting 80-90 MB/s, which isn't that far off from a mid-range hard drive like a WD Blue.

Probably the best mSD card there is right now:

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Memory-MB-SG64D-AM/dp/B00IVPU6BY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413084010&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+64gb+pro

Go for a UH 3 class 10 card to get the best performance.

This seems to be what everyone is recommending
PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, up to 90MB/sec Flash Card (P-SDUX64U390G-GE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GyEywbDZXZCNS

I told you wrong. Its the Turbo. This thing reads at 90Mb/S and write around 50-60Mb/s. Pretty great for the price.

This card doesn't seem to be on GoPro's recommend list, if that's important to you.

SanDisk Extreme 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 Card with Adapter (SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CP5IWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_crYJwbRE079KS

For an option that GoPro recommends.

I bought a vita slim used from gamestop yesterday unfortunately it was already on 3.68 so I was able to install h-encore everything is up and running tested by using RetroArch to play some SNES. I ordered A SD2Vita 5.0 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F63FPT3/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that will be here tomorrow. I seen some threads concerning issues running SD2Vita with H-Encore unless they were using "enso"? Can someone explain to me what enso does and where do I get it? I should also mention it did not come with A official Sony memory card am I going to need one for any reason. I ordered a 64GB microsd https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XX29S9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to use with the SD2Vita adapter listed above. Thanks!

Just bought a half dozen last week. They work great 👍

Already exists for the sony proprietary sticks, probably exists for SD somewhere too.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RPEJA4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Works great in my PSP.

Don't buy from ebay. I bought this one and it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-64GB-SDXC-Memory-Card/dp/B00IVPU6BY/

These are good too. Write speed the the most important metric in these cards.

That is true, so as of now, the PNY is the better deal. The PNY has a 90 MB/s read speed and a 50 MB/s write speed, so in that regard, it is more comparable to the SanDisk Extreme class here which is 80 read and 70 write according to a review. As for the one I linked to, read speed is 80 while write speed is 15 (according to the reviews).

That being said, can a 3DS or New 3DS even take advantage of the UHS-I, U3 performance? Hard to say, but I doubt Nintendo looked that far. It's far easier to tell the difference between a Class 4 and Class 10 card than two Class 10 cards with different speeds.

The technology is there, it's just a matter of time at the moment. The cards (running at the right speeds) in those ranges aren't far off the market. Samsung have 256GB cards on the market at the moment. Microdia released a 512GB U3 micro sd card a year or so back as well, those they were well expensive.

I'd again ask though, how much did you think the internal memory should be?

You also seem to be overestimating the size of the games a bit. Even breath of the Wild is only in that ~15 GB (I think it's actually a bit less than that) range.

You can use external hard drives as well. If you're like me and manage to corrupt SD cards a third of the time then this may be a better option.

Edit:
You could get an 8GB card with a 1TB HDD for $61.94. Granted it is $20 more but that's almost 10 times as much storage.

I had the same issue with my card.

This one one.

I did a factory reset, and I also reset the card to use as internal storage and that resolved my issue.
Hope this helps you!

The Samsung PRO is a much better card and worth the extra money.

Most of those "tiny" USB 3.0 drives are just a cheap SDXC card and the performance is horrid. You're better off with the adapter, plus a good SDXC card like the Samsung Pro or the Sandisk Extreme.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014W1ZQ42/
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CP5IWO/

Yeah you can. Been recording just as a test for 10 minutes now and haven't lost a single percentage off battery so the battery pack is keeping up with the power of the Fusion. Also make sure the cards you got are these or faster:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA/dp/B013CP5IWO/

I had some cards that worked with the Hero 6 (https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-High-Performance-MicroSDXC-version-LSDMI64GBBNL633R/dp/B00IF4OATU/), but they were not fast enough and were giving me errors with the Fusion.

In Finland, we can do 60 tons when you have at least 7 axles and a combined length of 25,25m at the most. I'm assuming they fit just fine.

Assuming that the transporting equipment itself weighs ~10 tons, we can use 50 tons just for the cards, which can be 32 GB, we get 3.2 exabytes at the cost of 84.45 Billion USD.

I'm using a Toshiba class 10 card. I record 1080p @ 60fps straight to my microSD card with no problem at all. You should be fine with any class 10 card.

If you're in the US the best bang for the buck for me would be:

> Extreme PLUS 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Class U-1

Thank you for the reply. Could yoiu point me towards the list of recommended cards by gopro ?

Would you also happen to know if this is a suitable card ? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-SDSQXVF-064G-GN6MA/dp/B01HU3Q6S4

Hey just a heads up, you should probably get a high endurance SD card like this. Since the card is written to continuously, it likes to burn SD cards out. Some people have luck with the non endurance, but it seems the endurance ones last longer.

PNY doesnt make their own cards

This review is the best and most exhaustive info ive found
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B00W77C1QU/R1M1KB1OYANQ27/ref=cm_cr_dp_aw_rvw_1?ie=UTF8&cursor=1

Edit: okay i made a mess of this...just read the amazon review

There's probably a max size it's capable of reading. I recommend you trash the new card they sent. They are all low quality and will ultimately fail. I recommend buying a 4-8gb Micro SD card Class 4 or higher.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Standard-Packaging-SDSDQUAN-008G-G4A/dp/B00M55C0VU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487986071&sr=8-1&keywords=8gb+micro+sd

I used Samsung pay on a vending machine and got a pop for $1.50. Few hours later I picked up this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-MicroSDXC-Adapter-SDSQXNE-064G-GN6MA/dp/B013CP5IWO/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1458069723&sr=1-2&keywords=sandisk+extreme+plus and now that I'm looking at it again looks like she actually typed lower than the Amazon price (I have 5 left on the gift card)

Would this be a superior choice than the select?

I would recommend getting a faster SD card, like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU3Q6S4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's a UHS Class 3, which is much better than the one you linked. I had just received this in the mail yesterday, installed it as internal storage, but haven't actually properly tested it out to confirm if there are any load-lagging issues. If there are, I'll report back tonight.

They can be found on Amazon very easily.

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Flash-Memory-Card-TS2GSDC/dp/B000FGNM6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415125713&sr=8-1&keywords=2GB+SD

From what I know, you can't use anything other than a 2GB SD card, unless you use Letterbomb (Mentioned by Moleman)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HU3Q6S4/

SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card with Adapter
(SDSQXVF-064G-GN6MA)

Read: 90MB
Write: 60MB

$30

And to be honest when I tested mine I was getting 95 read and 71 write.

Does [this](Samsung 128GB 95MB/s PRO Select Micro SDXC Memory Card (MB-MF128DA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DOB6YUQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_luIPyb2CF7GKX) look authentic? Is there a better card available that is U3? There are so many different Samsung cards that advertise similar speeds (Evo, Evo+, Pro)

Is this a good Micro SD card for the switch?

Unless you want an extra 16GB of storage, then add $200 so they can put a $6 flash chip in it.

EDIT: OK, it's actually $200 for 32 gb of memory that costs $15.

My friend got some at Walmart. I usually buy mine online, at Fry's, or at Walgreens.

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Flash-Memory-Card-TS2GSDC/dp/B000FGNM6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419611387&sr=8-1&keywords=2gb+sd+card

I'm pretty darn sure cutting a memory card down to size would just destroy it. You're going to need some kind of memory stick to put in there if you want to play downloaded games or install cfw. You can get a standard memory stick for the psp, or you can get the microsd to memory stick duo converter. Amazon link.

A high endurance memory card is recommended for dash cams & security cams; they're manufactured to withstand the constant writing and re-writing to the card

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V5Q1K3O

I ended up buying one of these. https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-SDSQXVF-128G-GN6MA/dp/B01DYN4VPE

My friend had an extra laying around and only asked 50% of retail.

I use one of these (http://www.amazon.com/MicroSD-MicroSDHC-Adapter-Converts-Cards/dp/B001RPEJA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396117980&sr=8-1&keywords=dual+micro+sd+adapter) and two 64GB cards for mine. I have a few friends who do the same.

Not on a USB stick, however you can use a cheap adapter to play games on a micro SD card instead of having to buy Sony's over priced junk.

This is the one I use. If you search amazon you can also find sets that include the adpater, a microsd card and a USB reader all in one for less than the cost of an 8gb memory duo.

Would it be wise to go ahead and buy one of these for my PSV TV or should I wait until official updates are over.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F63FPT3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7M6QBbZHPZMM9

True. Does this look good to purchase? Wouldn't want to get scammed.

It's like the second link on amazon??

Here's a sweet adapter, I THINK this is what people are talking about in this thread.

Came one day early. Popped in the card after the update. And it works. 118gb after format. :)

PNY 128

I have finished installing the arm9loaderHax and upgraded back to 11.

I am thinking about getting a larger micro SD card from amazon. Here are the 2 I am considering 1 - 2

Are there any size/speed concerns I should have?

What will I need to do to make sure the micoSD is ready for my 3ds? Will I need to format it specially? I remember during the hacking process needing to format the SC card a few times, but I think the whole thing is back to nothing special by the end of the hacking guide.

I have this one:

PNY 128GB High Speed MicroSDXC Memory Card (P-SDUX128U160G-GE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1W4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_j4cQwb2BACK4J

I think I paid like $28. Works flawlessly. The write speeds aren't as fast as the super high end ones but its not like we're shooting 4k 60fps video so you won't run into any issues.

Thanks. I'm going buy [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FGNM6I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425609681&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=2gb+sd+card&dpPl=1&dpID=51pguoeLt8L&ref=plSrch) SD Card for the job.

a better deal here.

http://www.amazon.com/PNY-128GB-MicroSDXC-Memory-P-SDUX128U160G-GE/dp/B00W77C1W4

I ended up getting the SanDisk Extreme 64GB for higher transfer rates / better overall performance.

Which is better this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JNGCWHU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_pse0xbNK54E8J
Or this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7L03OS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Cte0xbWR55Y0S

Do you purposefully downvote everyone who replies to you or is it just a reflex?

>How is having to buy two 128gb cards going to be cheaper than buying one bigger card?

1x 256GB = $200
vs
2x 128GB (what I already have) = $125.50

You're not good at this maths stuff are you? Kind of just like you not being good at Reddiquette

get an action replay disc for your region, and something like a WiiSD (SD card to GC mem card adapter) and get a full-size SD card the is LESS THAN 2 GB (i use this: https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Flash-Memory-Card-TS2GSDC/dp/B000FGNM6I )

Here's the github for swiss that tells you how to get it going: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc#requirements

Here's GBI: https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2782

I have 32 GB and I found myself playing maybe 2 or 3 games at any given time.

SD cards are cheap enough though that there's little point to getting a tiny SD card and having to pull your card in and out every time you want to play something different.

Smaller cards are also ridiculously expensive for what you're getting. A 32 GB Sandisk costs $10.59 or $0.33/GB. An 8 GB Sandisk costs $7.08 or $0.88/GB. You're paying 50% more for a 300% increase in capacity. It's a no brainer.

It depends on which Samsung ones and which Sandisk ones are you talking about.

I'm looking at the prices on Amazon, a 32 GB EVO Select from Samsung is $10, while a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra is $15, and both of them claim the same "up to 80 MB/s transfer speed", but I'm sure that's just the read speed and write speeds might be better on the Sandisk, hence why it's more expensive, but I haven't checked so I'm not sure.

I haven't heard of Samsung's Evo Select line before, judging from the price I assume it's a cheaper and worse performing line than the Evo, but you can also buy a 32 GB Samsung Evo+ for $15, so Samsung microSD's aren't more expensive.

This is a LOT of work for a sub $20 purchase...

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-microSDHC-Memory-Package/dp/B003WGJYCY

SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Memory Card (Bulk Package) Price: $13.99.

PM me and I will buy you this card if money is that tight. I would only ask that you do something nice for someone else that is within your means as this seems to be stretching your budget already.

I don't know what your definition of "cheap" is but I ended up going this direction - http://amzn.com/B00W77C1QU - it's a brand I've used in the past and the reviews (with speed tests) looked promising. $25 for a (reliable brand) 64gb U3 card was tough to beat in my shopping around.

amazon japan claims 80MB/s reads and 15MB/s writes

as for the worse performance and quality remark for cheaper cards...

1/3 the price, double the storage, same performance, samsung

and I'm sure there are better deals out there, this was just some random example

Are they class 10 UHS-1 U1? I had the same problem with a 64GB card and had to go to a faster U3 rated card. Here is the card I ended up buying, which works great in my P3S.

Ignoring price, would it be better to use two 16 GB cards simultaneously or one 32 GB card and one empty slot?

Also, is there any difference between the adapter you linked and this one?

Thank you so much!

I use a PSP and it works just fine once you crack it. Get yourself one of these and a couple micro SD cards, and you can reasonably hold 32 GB worth of games on the psp.

Yes. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-microSDHC-Memory-Package/dp/B003WGJYCY

Just in cases, if for some reason you're running higher bit rates you might want to look at this instead. I've had some GoPro's dropout after a bit with slower bit rated cards (even class 10) so stepping up to the extreme class.

Actually upon further inspection it looks like these prices are not that killer. I don't know, shop smart people.

Here's the way I ended up doing it:

I bought The adapter

and a 32gb card

That way down the road if I want to I can add another 32gb card to get 64gb of memory.

It's the same price (actually slightly cheaper) and you have future chance of upgrading to the max memory.

I use that card without problems. Were you trying to record at 400Mbps? It won't work for that. Works fine for 100Mbps or 150Mbps, though

EDIT: this card? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J5RH06K That's the card I use.

The DJI website says the max write speed is 60mbps
https://www.dji.com/mavic/info

I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU3Q6S4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which is a Class 1 V30 and does exactly 60mbps. I should probably return it and get the class 10 but I'm going to see how well this works.

I don't know of any controllers that allow you to connect an external hard drive as a storage device, and I don't think it's possible to make a hard drive look like a micro-SD card. It was possible with Compact Flash, since that used the old ATA (PATA) interface.

You could try a high-endurance SD card.

I'm late to the party, but I always reccomend this card for dashcams:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V5Q1K3O

I've got them in both of my cameras, and one of them runs 24/7, and I haven't had a problem in over a year now.

Actually I am back to that I am going to try Lollipop with foldermount to compare results.. just realized the performance hit from using adoptable storage is huge! The 64 GB card I am using when set to adoptable storage increases the boot time of the K1, by at least 30 seconds (did not time it) I bench marked the 64 GB card when adoptable 3 times, and it averaged 40 MB/s read 15 MB/s write, and then formatted back to portable and rebooted. Quick boot time again and benchmarks at (3 times again I ran it) at 80 MB/s read and 65 MB/s

I was using this micro sd card: http://amzn.com/B00W77C1QU

This card is amazingly fast on both read + write on anything else I try it on also..
