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.

For those looking to buy these as external SSDs for MacOS based operating systems, be advised that they may cause kernel panics (causing the Mac to spontaneously reboot). I have the 2TB version and am experiencing daily kernel panics and am about to send it back to Amazon once I securely wipe it; I see one or two other reviews mentioning the same thing as well as some anecdotal accounts on the interwebs. Not much detail other than it may be some sort of issue between the drive and the MacOS sleep function or Time Machine backup function.

Why this much storage for dash cam? If there isn't an incident for the day rewriting over files shouldn't be an issue.

I feel like this is overkill for a tesla. Look at the sandisk model that does the 520 MB/s for $69. Sometimes it's even cheaper. That's just the current price on Amazon. I'd even consider the 500gb version if you can find it for sometimes in the $40-50

Amazon: USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2

I noticed this too, does anyone know if this is a typo. WD webpage seems to show only 2 versions a(V1 and V2) and the only one that has the 1000mb/s speed is v2 which makes me think this is also USB 3.2 gen 2 and just a typo on Costco webpage. Thoughts ?

I Never disconnect devices and use sleep frequently (pretty much never turn off my computers). I have been using this model (bought over a year ago for $99 at Costco) as the boot drive for a 2018 Mac mini (i7 6-core with 64GB Ram and Monterey OS) without any issues. It's fast and sleeps and wakes just fine. No kernel panics.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this (or the 2tb version) for my 2018 Mini with 128gb ssd. Was planning on moving most of my files to this, but you brought up the the thought - would it be better for me to just run it as the boot drive? Faster? Thoughts on how it's worked so far? Ive got 32gb sitting here that I wasnt going to put in until i got a drive

I don't have s personal laptop. apple store suggested to use an external drive and move my files out.. what's the type of cable and will I need a converter to connect to my 11 pro

Dumb question, I know … but how are these for long term storage? Looking for something to store our photos on and maybe add to occasionally but mainly stored in a firebox for just in case purposes.

It's not necessarily faster than internal but it's very usable. Raw transfer speeds are lower but it doesn't feel slower in real world usage, especially with lots of Ram = low or no swap usage on the drive. It's convenient to have everything on one drive but you cold also just move your photo library or other large files to the external and keep the internal as your boot drive. I do that with large Virtual Machines that I keep on another one of these drives but I don't boot from that one.
