Hi all,
The quality and longevity of memory cards is hugely important for dash cams, much more than for regular digital camera products. Not only for the maximum writing speed (reading speed is hardly an issue with most available SD cards these days), but even more so their durability in terms of getting constantly overwritten.
There is an interesting article to this topic here:

I myself have been using 64GB SD cards for the past few years without any problems with ITB100-HD and more recently with ITB100-SPW. It is a known fact that using larger capacity storage cards actually reduces wear and tear of the storage cells (less overwrites). Many other dash cam brands publicise a max. of 64GB for their products but often some users have found out that it actually also works with 128GB or more.
For the above mentioned reasons I would like to use 128GB cards for my ITB100 also. Has anybody some deeper knowledge of the existing firmware and whether is has a hard coded limit, or whether indeed the internal memory addressing hardware is limited to 64GB?
