Review on πŸ’ͺ High Endurance 128GB Class 10 Micro SD Card for BlackVue Dash Cam by John Brouillard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Failed within 1 month

Card was completely damaged within 1 month. One day my camera refused to turn on. Tried turning the car off and on again and turning off the camera but nothing helped. I left it on for two days to see if anything magical would happen and sure enough the camera turned on the next day; However, it kept telling me to check my SD card. I took it out, plugged it into my laptop and tried to reset it using the Blackvue software and Windows itself. Every time I plugged it into my laptop, my entire computer froze. After waiting about 20 minutes, I slowly began to restore functionality. The only problem was that I couldn't open the map in file explorer. I would double click on it and nothing would happen. I quickly realized that my operating system was very slow at reading the card. It literally takes about 20 minutes to open in file explorer etc. The same goes for Black Vue software. After a few hours of waiting and browsing the menu, I finally got the Blackvue software to try and format the card. After he tried to format, I got an error message saying he couldn't complete the formatting. Then I tried formatting through Windows and that didn't work either. Then I tried to use diskpart but even that didn't work. He said there are some I/O issues. In short, I couldn't fix it. It was beyond repair. I had a bit of trouble getting a refund as Revain sent me to the manufacturer and then the manufacturer sent me back to Amazon to find a supplier so I could speak to them. Eventually Revane took it back and gave me the money back. There is a powerful Samsung card for $35 and the same size. The description states that it is designed for high-performance DVRs and CCTV cameras. Looking at these reviews it seems like a lot of people are using it for their Blackviews. I would recommend going this route. My installer also told me that I shouldn't have gotten this card as many of his customers claim that their black Vue cards don't work. Keep in mind.

Pros
  • Memory cards
Cons
  • Available in black only
