⚡️⚡️ UPDATE: Nov 13, 2020 ⚡️⚡️
Samsung's Pro Endurance remains our top pick for its performance and value. Sandisk's High Endurance U3 card is our new runner-up endurance pick. It's cheaper than Samsung with slightly reduced reliability and a lower 2-year warranty. Great value.

OUR TOP PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM
We use affiliate links below to good retailers. Our reviews are not paid advertisements and our choices are made only after many hours of research and hands-on testing. Also, all products are purchased at full retail price to reduce bias.

1️⃣ 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE | BEST CHOICE
Has the highest lifespan rating, 3-year warranty and a price drop in April makes it a great value.
• Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/2Vm0xwP
• Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2Q4gXZN
• Amazon CAD: https://amzn.to/2Vj5Ddq | Not sold directly by Amazon, shipped out of USA but is the best seller I could find and the one I used. Alternatively, buy on Amazon USA and use their global shipping option.

2️⃣ SANDISK HIGH ENDURANCE | RUNNER UP
Sandisk's new High Endurance line now replaces the Samsung EVO Plus/Select & Ultra A1 as our top budget pick. They have a longer warranty, counterfeiting issues are fixed and the price is very similar to our previous picks. As well reliability has been confirmed by manufacturers like Street Guardian.

3️⃣ 128GB+ SAMSUNG EVO PLUS/SELECT & SANDISK ULTRA A1
No longer our budget capacity picks. There are no cost or performance savings compared to Sandisk's 2019 High Endurance lineup. The following is just for your reference.

• Sandisk A1: https://geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon
• EVO Select: https://geni.us/128SamsungSelectAmazon | Amazon Exclusive Card
• EVO Plus: https://geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon | Not sold directly by Amazon, better to get it other places or in brick and mortar stores if it's on sale.

GET A BACKUP CARD

We recommend drivers purchase a second (16-32GB) SD card for emergencies and leave it in the car. You can swap cards and keep recording without overwriting important footage. As well you’ll be protected in case your current card has any problems.
