If you're using spinning platters of glass, the worry is not so much about temperature (though that is a factor) as it is about vibration.

Try getting a fast SD card and a USB adapter. Those are far more robust than a flash drive, especially for the amount of data pounding it constantly.One of my 3s has this same error. I bought a brand new 64 GB Sandisk drive and it continues to show the error during Sentry Mode. I’ve never had the error show up while driving.
The odd thing about it is that I have the same model Sandisk drive in my other 3 and it’s been running smoothly since Tesla introduced the dash cam feature.

You again? With your well disproved "software" problem? FACT: Since switching to Micro-SD plus USB adapter, I have had ZERO errors. That's now after 5 months. Everyone reporting they switched to this hardware arrangement has noted the same.People keep saying this- and it keeps not being true.
The car is recording 4 720p cameras at 36 fps... these aren't 4k UHD 60 FPS cameras.
The port on the car is USB2. The amount of data being written is relatively tiny.
The car is writing at 2MB a second.
Which basically any flash drive of any decent size should be able to do sustained writes many times faster than, and any good ones at 10-20x faster than that or more.
The car is only writing 7.2 GB per hour- and only while "awake" which for most people is maybe 8-10 hours a day. Meaning flash drives of good size, even regular non-endurance ones, should last for many years before you come close to hitting their rated number of write cycles.
As further evidence we have folks who use the same storage as someone else one having issues the other not... and we have folks who not only use the same flash drive in 2 cars and get issues in one car but not the other... but other folks who actually swapped drives between 2 cars (one working and one with issues) and the problem didn't follow the storage device it stayed with the car
That's on top of the fact many errors only appears after SW updates, and many have since gone away after additional updates.
Barring cases where folks started with defective/counterfeit hardware- This isn't a storage HW problem. It's a software problem.

I don't know why you keep incessantly complaining. Just get the right hardware.
I guess you guys might not be familiar with the chips used in flash drives and write/rewrite cycles.
I
But hey, if a USB Flash Drive works for you, go for it. I know that NO ONE on Tesla's site who converted to SD + USB has reported the "too slow" message after the switch.
Because, you know, the problem is the software
So people stopped getting this after "some" update. No more problems, right?

For some- yeah no further problems. For some they fixed them only temporarily. For others new updates introduced new problems they never had before (and all of these with no change of storage HW).
And of course many (myself included) haven't ever had any problems the whole time.
And all of that including just about every different dashcam related problem across just about every type of media. Including both USB keys and SD cards.
Because, of course, it's not a HW storage problem.

From Teslatap.com, an authority I believe is well respected:
"SD Cards with Adapter
There are several adapters that convert an SD card for use as a USB stick. This allows the use of micro SD cards, often designed specifically for dashcam video with extended lifetimes and suitable temperature range over other flash drives. In addition, the adapter can be connected to a phone, tablet or PC to view the video.
The adapters above require an SD card, which is sold separately. All of the micro SD cards below are designed for dashcam use and are longer life MLC types." <- so a stick memory is not the same as an SD card.
So, evidence is clear USB stick memory is (a) not spec'd for the temperatures seen in vehicles, and (b) mostly comprised of TLC technology.
I rest my case.
Yeah, my experience mirrors this. It works in one car and not the other. But if it’s a software issue, I don’t understand how this could be the case since both my 3s are running the same firmware.
