> I am also a bit perplexed on why they'd need to ingest 1,000 micro-SD cards at once. If they are such a large org, why not investigate alternative solutions?

Action cameras use microSD cards as their main storage medium. You could connect them via WiFi on some models, but that would be painfully slow compared to dumping the SD cards directly.

One of the comments in the linked thread also suggested a fleet of dash cams which also sounds plausible, I could totally see some manager saying "we need to archive all the dash cam video for legal liability reasons!" and now someone is stuck with this job.

From the poster in a reply:

> we record hundreds of hours of footage a week onto hundreds of cameras a that all record onto micro sd card.

Dashcams don’t seem to fit this description. Seems like production film to me. As I mentioned in another post, it sounds like this is someone from MrBeast’s production crew.
