I am not good at preemptive memory card maintenance, and it is getting worse now as i dont pull footage as often to share.
It is pretty much just on card swap i format the card in the camera, then again i also swap card every 3 - 4 weeks, at least if someone are kind enough to keep me supplied with new cameras, CUZ sooner or later i have had my entire test suite of cards thru the cameras i have.
The A229 and A119 mini are just about ready to be retired from the car, but i will probably do a little static testing on them for a few months.
The A229 have given me a little grief lately not recording on first drive of the day, unsure if it is the new cards in it that are marginal, but as the issue are very rare and random i dont think so, but i will have to do a run of a card or two of the models i have not had those issues with.
The issue are quick fixed, i just pull the power, let the cam shut down, and then plug back in and then the camera boot and record just fine. so its not even a issue that i can repeat / replicate.
