Angry dashcam

i have a 2024 MB GLS 450, I activated my dashcam via MB store (so no physical dashcam that you can see) and having been using Sandisk 512 GB Dual USB-a and USB-c. I plug the USB next to the phone charging station in front of two cup holders. The dashcam worked fine --record when I start the car every time until today when I did the update that is offered by MB. Now my dashcam stopped recording and showing message saying that the recording medium is too slow and can' record. Could someone shed some lights on this issue and please suggest a solution. Thank you for your time.

Still the usb device, I recommend using samsung usbs as those seem to work better or you can use an ssd:

Thank you so much for your help!

I just purchased a SanDisk dual USB-C / USB-A version 3.2 with 400MB (speed) from Best Buy this weekend and so far it is working well. Fingers crossed!
For reference, my previous one is SanDisk as well, but it is version 3.0 with speed of 100MB.

It sounds like a newer device fixed our issue, however I will add that we had inconsistent performance using the USB outlet near the wireless phone chargers. When we switched to using the outlet in the center console it consistently worked for us.

Good feedback.

My Viofo dash cam strongly recommended Extreme Duty SD cards.

ARCHIE'S CAR,
I followed your recommendation and purchased/installed the SanDisk USBC/A version 3.2 at 400MB. I utilized the USB outlet in front of cup holders card. and all seem to be working quite well. However, I have yet to test the LOOP function as it was not working with the previous card. Willkeep you informed if this card will erform the LOOP function. Thanks for your help and detailed information. Ron
