SanDisk Max Endurance microSDXC 512GB vs SanDisk High Endurance 512GB microSDXC

Both cards are 512GB SanDisk microSDXC with the same 100 MB/s read and 40 MB/s write ratings, so everyday speed is identical. The Max Endurance is rated for up to 120,000 hours of recording, roughly 13 years, which is several times the endurance rating SanDisk gives the High Endurance line. Owners of dash cams and security cameras report the High Endurance holds up well, but the Max Endurance is the safer pick for continuous 4K recording in a camera you leave running. Buy the High Endurance if you record in bursts or want the included full-size SD adapter; buy the Max Endurance if the card writes nonstop.

• Choose the SanDisk Max Endurance if your camera records continuously, such as a dash cam or security cam running 4K around the clock, and you want the longest rated write life.
• Choose the SanDisk High Endurance if you record in shorter sessions, want the bundled SD adapter for moving footage to a laptop, and the standard endurance rating is enough.
