Ultra storage options

Minlas — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 18:59:37 GMT

I believe the combination of max specs listed/anyone has tested for storage is class 10 UHS-3 V90 and 256GB? Has anyone tried the 400 or 512GB? Currently looking at SanDisk 256GB Extreme MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-256G-GN6MA (Currently sold out at Amazon.)

Is anyone using the Pro 3 or Pro 2 hubs and USB storage instead of a card with the Ultras? SteveDoes YouTube review video said the latter (using a Pro 2 hub) was supposed to be possible by the end of the year. Besides the larger storage is there any other benefits of using USB vs microSD you have seen? Less video corruption perhaps? I didn’t know that was a thing or how common it is across models, users etc.

Thanks for the reply RafS
Your success using a 512 causes me to look at the SanDisk 512GB Extreme MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - A2, U3, V30, 4K UHD, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-512G-GN6MA
Current 109.99 at Amazon.

How many cameras do you have writing to the 512 and is there any way to tell how fast it is filling up in the app?

I have 4 cameras going and if you go into the Storage Settings of the hub, it will tell you how much storage you have total and how much is available. I've only used the card for a few days but it looks like it's written a little over 1GB but I also don't have a lot of things setting the cameras off to record anything..

I've been using a Sandisk 256GB high endurance video SDXC for a month now with no issue at all

I believe I have seen at least two people using the 512GB Cards both @n1976jmk and @RafS

@Arlocustomer978 mentioned he had tried a 1TB but it didn’t work.

Is anyone else using 512 and anyone else tried a 1TB card?
