I use a USB flash drive for my Arlo camera system to store videos locally. It is a Sandisk Cruzer 32 GB. It works fine for about a year, then it will go into write protect (?) mode, which is a state that you can read from it but can no longer write to it. SanDisk has replaced two of them under warranty. My guess there is a limited number of write cycles and the Arlo system is doing something with a lot of writes. I have posted on the Arlo forum of the issue and I have gotten little response. Upon its recent failure, I switched to a different model, SanDisk Ultra. I will see if that lasts longer. On another subject, the Arlo camera system is unreliable and customer service is terrible, so I don't recommend it. I bought the Alro system on sale and it took me a while to set it up, then the return period expired. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116407
