So this turned my attention to the SD Card Adapters and their performance (or lack of performance).
I found the following:
These Adapters returned similar, lower CrystalMark Results:
OLD Thinkware Adapter
NEW Thinkware Adapter
SURPAK Adapter
These Adapters returned similar, higher CrystalMark Results:
LEXAR Adapter
ROCKETEK Adapter
Based on the Adapter findings, I re-tested all the SD Cards using the LEXAR Adapter. All Cards were tested three times, and each Card returned very similar results.
Below are the Crystal Mark test results for the SD Cards using the LEXAR Adapter:

I have tried the SanDisk ExtremePLUS in my F750 (running F770 Firmware) and in my X550 and the Card was accepted, could be formatted in the DashCam, and appears to operate correctly.
I currently have the 128GB Card in my X550, and will run it overnight. In the morning, I will find out the length of time that the Card will record in the Continuous Record Mode before overwriting. I will also sample the Video Files to see if there are any errors.
After that, I will find out the length of time that the Card will record in the Parking Mode before overwriting.
I still have a SanDisk Extreme (P/N SDSQXVF-128G-GN6MA) and a PNY U3 Pro Elite (P/N P-SDUX128U395PRO-GE) inbound from AMAZON. These Cards were due here on Monday, but were "lost" in shipment. AMAZON is re-sending the order.
I will report on those Cards when they arrive.
So now you have "the rest of the story".
