Not compatible with Tesla dashcam

This SSD is not compatible with Tesla dashcam. I have another SSD from Micron and that works fine on Tesla but not this one. Tesla will format it but won't recognize it after that.

Good, BUT

I had a Kingston Bolt, which became obsolete with updates to operating systems. I loved that little gadget and hoped that this product would be as good or better. Alas, I find it much harder to use, particularly because - unlike the Bolt - there is no App to use on my phone. I realize it has a LOT more storage capacity, but it is not as good for simply getting files off my phone and into my computers.
