VIOFO A329T 3CH (F+T+R) + Sandisk Extreme 1TB external SSD
On the suggestion of @Chuck McCoy in this post on my thread discussing the possible file corruption issues i am having when i go to remux/append all the cams video files into one single file, to check for Power Starvation issues using a USB C power meter.
Here is video of various tests i have done.

NOTE: These are not meant to be 100% perfect / scientifically accurate or comprehensive tests.
It is meant as a casual testing to see if i have some sort of obvious Power Starvation issue with my current setup.

( a few videos seems to have been cropped just a little, or i just quite did not have the meter in full frame near the end of the video...sorry about that.)
