I have a Sandisk 1TB SSD and experienced the same issue. Although I never had issues with an SSD in my Model S, I believe the confines of the glovebox contribute to overheating and affects performance because playback of videos takes 45-60 seconds to start, whereas videos are playable within 2-3 seconds with my Sandisk High Endurance microSD that has higher temperature tolerances.I've tried formatting my T7 1TB ssd from my laptop and Tesla 2020 MY multiple times with no luck. "Error while formatting USB drive for Dashcam" in car.
I'm thinking it could possibly be a driver issue on certain Tesla models. Not sure though I'm going to try a SanDisk ssd next I think. I'm hoping an ssd solves the issue where my Dashcam requires unplugging and replugging in my USB stick every other drive for Dashcam to work.
I don't think it would be a heat issue for me as it occurs right away. I also don't have a glovebox usb on my 2020 MY.I have a Sandisk 1TB SSD and experienced the same issue.

I bought a T7 because an article I read/watched suggested that the constant rewriting on the OEM provided stick will shorten its useful life. It also suggested that an SSD would store up to its capacity and not be limited to the one hour mentioned here.Because the quality of flash used in most usb sticks is pretty terrible.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been using a T7 for over a year now (and in triple digit heat during summer) and haven't had any problems with the drive. There WAS a bug that was affecting ALL USB drives a few updates back, but all is working now.I bought a T7 because an article I read/watched suggested that the constant rewriting on the OEM provided stick will shorten its useful life.

Now reading of the hassles experienced by members here, I not sure I should bother with it. Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water....
When you review Sentry recordings in the car, does the clip start to play pretty instantaneously with the T7? Or does it take a good 30-45 seconds to load the file? My Sandisk Extreme SSD and Samsung T5 take a while to load the file but Sandisk High Endurance microSD card can play recordings within 1-2 seconds.If it makes you feel any better, I've been using a T7 for over a year now (and in triple digit heat during summer) and haven't had any problems with the drive.

It loads pretty much instantly. Now, if I let sentry videos accumulate to the point where there are hundreds of them, then it takes a very long time for the dashcam viewer to open. Erasing the files or formatting makes it super speedy again. I now just delete any non-event sentry videos as I review them and there's no speed issue. Does make it pointless to get a large drive though as the whole system doesn't seem to be able to handle tons of video - I think that's a car software issue more than the drive though.When you review Sentry recordings in the car, does the clip start to play pretty instantaneously with the T7?

What update fixed this?If it makes you feel any better, I've been using a T7 for over a year now (and in triple digit heat during summer) and haven't had any problems with the drive. There WAS a bug that was affecting ALL USB drives a few updates back, but all is working now.
For me, the issue with the drive not being mounted properly was fixed around 2022.16 or thereabouts... it's been a month or two.What update fixed this?
Which is how I fixed my problem. 2019 M3my issue was fixed by connecting to my computer, reformatting and manually adding the teslacam folder.
How did you secure the drive? Even with the rugged case, it’s still going to bounce around. Did you also you a angled adapter and a shorter usb wire to limits the movement?I know this thread is about errors from the T7 SSD but... if anyone is looking for a new drive, the 1TB model is on sale for $100 on amazon right now.
Not sure if links are allowed so mods pls delete or let me know and I can remove.
Does it record everything now? Or still have the glitches?For me, the issue with the drive not being mounted properly was fixed around 2022.16 or thereabouts... it's been a month or two.
I'm actually using the original USB stick that came with the car. I don't feel the need to store hours of footage of people walking by my car in the parking lotHow did you secure the drive?

We're still having problems with our T7. We are on FSD Beta 10.12.2 (2022.12.3.20). I'm hoping that with the next FSD Beta version which is on a 2022.20 branch the Sentry issues will be resolved.Ahh my mistake! Yes I was thinking of the shield version. I didn't realize there was a normal non-rubberized version.
I think the glitches SpicyPaneer was talking about was those issues from about a month or two back. I had problems with the OEM USB stick so it was an issue with Tesla software, not the drive. Seems all is well now though, haven't had any problems after they came out with a slew of updates.
