Choosing an SD card

Former Member

Somewhere I read that an SD card class 4 was required by the Raspberry Pi.  Would an SDHC Class 6 or higher class card work?  I am partial to SanDisk cards which I use with a high quality DSLR camera.

 

Thanks in advance

  • I have sandisk extreme II and extreme III cards. To my surprise these are marked class 4 and 6. These work.

     

    I just got my self an "insurance" SD card: a cheap 8G class-4 card.

     

    There used to be an issue with class 10 SD cards. That, as far as I can tell has been resolved. It's now just that the hardware cannot use the 1.8V signalling method that class 10 cards have.
