Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Matches previous sale price on March 27 that lasted 10+ days.
FWIW, this 256GB card has a 5 year warranty and is rated for 140,160 hours of FHD recording "Based on Full HD (1920×1080) video content recorded at 26 Mbps (3.25MB/s)."[samsung.com] which translates to 140,160 hr x 3600 sec/hr x 3.25 MB/sec = 1639,872,000 MB = 1640 TBW. Remember that the methodology for TBW determination is probably different for Endurance SD card, where 99%+ of the card is expected to be overwritten by new data and you get near-perfect wear leveling, vs. general purpose data drive (SD card, USB flash drive, SSD) where some data is expected to be static for a long time (OS, app/game, pictures/media, etc).
In comparison, SanDisk's High Endurance 256GB microSD card rated for only 20,000 hours of FHD video (of unspecified bitrate) and 2 years warranty whereas SanDisk's Max Endurance 256GB is rated at 120,000 hours FHD video and 15 years warranty (!), though by year 3 the card is worth a fraction of what you paid for.

For constantly recording/overwriting dashcams and 24/7 security cameras. Overkill for photography or typical storage.

Fast enough for 4K recordings.
Price reduced today. This matches the lowest price ever according to Keepa. Normally $29.99 since March. Amazon is matching the BB Memorial Day sale price.
Sold and shipped by Bezosland. Free shipping for all. (Best Buy needs $35 minimum for free ship or a trip to the store.)

8760 hours in a year. I've been running normal samsung cards in outdoor wyze cameras for 3-4 years straight (constant recording) and havent had issue yet (fingers crossed). For $26 would try it if I needed another card, but 140k hours is about 13-14 years if it lasts that long isnt worth it at the $50 price. You card breaks, you usually can buy another better one for cheaper in the future. I think I got the normal Samsung high speed card (128gb) for $15-$17 at the time.

But what if it breaks without you knowing it, your car gets hit, and you have no video of the event? Or it failed before a break-in? Do you buy the crappiest car and home insurance, too?
The default on dashcams for reminders to format cards is OFF. Most people will just set and forget.
