Good for the new tesla buyers on Sentry and DashCam videos.
Non-tesla buyers, please be easy on the post.
Detail storage usage quote from website tesladriver:
Required amounts of data on the USB flash drive
The video recordings of the Tesla sentry mode and the dashcam function are stored on a USB flash drive. The drive must be connected to one of the two front USB ports in the car. With dashcam and sentry mode, the footage from the front camera, the two side-facing rear cameras and the rear camera footage is recorded. One minute of image recording requires 30 MB of memory per camera. Since the Dashcam only stores 60 minutes while driving and then overwrites the oldest data, the following space is required for the Dashcam function on the USB devices:
Dashcam
60 minutes * 30 MB * 4 cameras = ~7200 MB (=7.1 GB) for one hour of continuous recording of the Dashcam. More data is not needed for the Dashcam. Videos older than one hour will be overwritten.
Sentry mode (per event)
10 minutes * 30 MB * 4 cameras = ~1200 MB (=1.2 GB) for a manual 10-minute recording by pressing the Dashcam button.
Sentry mode also stores 10 minutes of video from the four cameras per threat detected. This means 1200 MB per event. So, a USB stick that is too small can get full quickly. The stored videos of the sentry mode cannot be deleted individually in the vehicle. The oldest sentry videos are automatically overwritten when the stick is full.

Edit: I have this one and it works well, even though I haven't used it much. I see it posted here often and have read good reviews.

USB-C 3.2 Gen 1
Amazon: USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2
For anyone curious about this, I just looked them up and noticed that the big hole in the enclosure is different between the two models. The Costco model has a hole shaped like a rhombus, but the newer model on Amazon has its hole shaped more like a triangle. This is a good way to quickly know which model you're looking at.
Of course, a different case color would have made it even easier to distinguish between them, but at least they changed something visually so we don't have to go through the specs every time.

I had bought the older non NVME version on clearance at walmart that was DOA, WD/Sandisk replaced it within two weeks with the upgrade model (this one).
For your own reference, mine came with an SN750 inside.
Ahh, I see.

Extreme is capable of 10Gbps transferring speed while PRO is 20 Gbps. PRO is more expensive. Even for new laptop, not too many of them have 20 Gbps support even they support 40Gbps Thunderbolt. It's either 40Gbps TB or 10 Gbps USB. Only few support 20Gbps USB.
For this non-PRO ones (10Gbps), the shape of the hole is rhombus. According to an answer on Bestbuy from sandisk, SDSSDE61-1T00-G25 and SDSSDE61-1T00-AC are identical. The differences are for different sales channels/regions only.

Yeah, I just realized that I actually wrote it backwards, so I just fixed my post. Thanks for catching that.
The one with the triangle is the newer, better model. The rhombus style is the older, non-pro model.
