the entire disk available, wow, seems overkill

With that one exception I mentioned with my friend's father I've never heard of it being an issue for anyone. I suspect it prevents more problems than it creates for people who work with huge graphics or video files and need to trash them.
I think Mac users traditionally have perhaps been a bit more savvy, graphics industry, education users etc but as the technology ages up and older users have switched to Mac this is less so than before
Reminds me of when I would visit my elderly aunt and uncle and the clock on their VCR was always blinking cause they couldn't figure out how to set it. I'd have to set it every time I'd visit.
I would appreciate it if you would not talk about meI think everyone has at least one relative in the family like that
A bit of bad news here.
Having reformatted the Sandisk 200 GB mSD card in the desktop computer, and in the camera, and all was well
Quick format will only erase the contents of the FAT - does nothing else.I did a quick format.
I heard someone say that full formats on solid state memory damages the drive, esp SSD & SSM's?
Yep, use this and do a full format and then format again in camera once done, full format won't damage the cardQuick format will only erase the contents of the FAT - does nothing else.
You can D/L a 'safe' SD formatter from here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
me mate paul who has a V3 just told me its asking to be formatted every hour or so, told him to format in camera not PC as that is what he was doing, will see how it goes.

Same issue happening to my V2. It has a transcend 400x 64gb card and seems like almost every day now the dashcam will ask to format the card and not initially record. It was formatted in the dashcam originally, haven't tried reformatting the card again yet.
I purchased the v2 refurbished from ebay about 3 weeks ago. Also the card was brand new as well. I'll try formatting on pc and then on dashcam.
