It’s really the best option, all other card readers are huge and bulky

I use a micro SD card + reader. This reader and this card.

If you have USB flash drive that is constantly being written to that flash drive eventually is going to fail. Writing, writing a lot (which dashcams do) is exactly what wears flash drives out.

Instead, a longer lasting way to record dashcam and sentry video is to use endurance micro sd cards paired with a USB reader. The Samsung endurance micro SD card linked below is good for 17,520 hours of recording.

Put it inside a decent USB micro SD reader and you have a fairly reliable solution.

LOVE this little hedgehog! AND CONGRATS! I just got mine a week ago and I'm the happiest person ever.

Can't wait to see pics of her! Got a name picked out?!

I have had no problems with corrupt files using a Micro SD card (64, 128, or 256gb) in Fat32 format. You may need special software to format a drive over 32gb in Fat32. I then place that into a USB 3.0 SD card dongle that is super small with Amazon link below. I plan on moving over to a Pi Zero and re-using the SD card when I do.

The reason I went with this setup is because so many people with USB thumb drives having write speed problems. Micro SD cards were meant for super fast write that recording video needs.

I forgot to say the Samsung item in the post above is ONLY THE MEMORY CARD. You need a USB holder/adapter to be able to plug it in to the Tesla USB port - like this one

there are a lot of people on YouTube recommending this setup

I’d highly recommend to get this usb reader instead the one posted above hasn’t been working for me and many others after recent updates:

Have a question about USB storage for Sentry and dashcam. I bough a [128GB micro SD card ](Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB Micro SDXC Card with Adapter - 100MB/s U1 (MB-MJ128GA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B984HJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jaStDbFA277G0) that fits in a [thumb drive frame](Rocketek Aluminum USB 3.0 Portable Memory Card Reader Adapter for Micro SD Card/TF Card Reader Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XTQZS4F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_cgStDb6J81XQG) thinking that would work. My Model X seems to recognize the thumb drive as it shows up in the media center as a potential source but it doesn’t work for Sentry or the dashcam. Has anyone seen this problem? I am looking for a larger storage option than my current 32GB thumb drive which fills up every 1-2 weeks.

Yes. I have this adapter
