Hello
The choice of sdcard is rather important, sd cards suffer from a symptom called 'Wear Level', this where cards that are constantly being written over and over again such as dashcams or video camera cards, suffer premature failure due to data blocks within the memory stack being corrupted and not accepting any more data. The blocks are tagged in the VTOC (Volume Table of Contents) and the 32gb sdcard is no longer 32gb, The Samsung line of SDcards (extreme usage) though a little more expensive seem to hold up the best when benchmarked, it is very important that the card is specified for high read/write (sometimes you may see a card specified for video for example) and the phrase the phrase Extreme Usage' should be displayed in the item description, this information is well known to the SD card manufacturers and is just now making its way into general parlance.
