Roughly how many hours / days will a 256gb card hold for the U1000 running both front and rear cameras?

Seems like I get around 3 days before it starts recording over itself but its completely dependent on how many hours you drive.

DCT has a calculator where you plug in the total bit rate for both cameras plus the card size and it will calculate recording capacity.

@DashCamMan could you create a menu link for this to make it easier to find? Thanks.

So will both of these work or should I definitely buy the more expensive A2 card? I know I can get these cheaper form Amazon but I'm always concerned that memory cards bought from places like this could be fake.

It also depends on how you have the partitioning set up, whether priority is for continuous or one of the other modes.
My typical daily commute is a total of 3 to 3.5 hours and I'll get just under two days of continuous, but I have Parking incidents back to Jan 5, and Continuous incidents back to last July.
My parking incidents are high because the radar seems to trigger and record even a vehicle with a loud exhaust passing through the parking structure.
