Using these two devices. Still haven’t figured it out yet.What storage device are you using? Did it ask you to format the device when you first plugged it in?

is the drive recognized if you plug it into a computer? Could be a bad card or adapter so I’d check that both work elsewhere.Using these two devices. Still haven’t figured it out yet.
Sounds like a bad component, I though someone else had an issue with the Anker card reader. However, I'm successfully using the same two devices you are in my R1T, along with this, which is just a adapter:Using these two devices. Still haven’t figured it out yet.
Great recommendation - thank you!Here is my setup that works perfect. USB C and USB A for quick viewing on the PC. Used a Sandisk MAX Endurance 256gb micro SD card and of course, the 90 degree right angle to keep the adapter flush to the console wall.

The Anker I bought didn’t work, but I think it was just a fluke. I bought a different brand and it works fine. Others have reported the Anker works.Everybody still having success with the Anker USB-C adapter and a microSD card?
Getting my R1S this Friday, and I already have a spare of the Anker USB-C SD card readers, so the easiest and cheapest route for me is probably to just get an SD card (probably a 256GB endurance microSD from either Sandisk or Kingston). Otherwise I'll probably buy an older-model SSD-based drive. Whatever's cheapest in the 512GB or 1TB range!
Unfortunately our dashcam is not the greatest quality. I had an incident where I needed to pull the plate number and our dashcam isnt good enough to catch the plate event right next to it.Do you all think aftermarket 4k dashcams are still beneficial, for capturing incidents and plate numbers? or would it be redundant?
I posted a sealed T7 Shield in Black (1TB) that I'm selling in the marketplace forum last month.For the folks still looking, the Samsung T7 is on sale for $75 on Amazon:

I bought this same setup, but the Samsung 256GB is failing the speed test for meSuper simple setup here with an 90-degree rotated USB-C adapter and a Samsung 256GB. Am still considering a true dash cam.
