Samsung UHS-I  Card SDHC  32GB

billabott

If I use Win7 to put a bootable Pi distribution on this card, is it still usable for Windows, cameras, and phones?  Has the formatting and partitioning of cards advanced so that they are truely multipurpose tools?

2. If the card is dedicated to Pi then does it also hold all the appllications, databases, movies, and pictures to be accessible via the Linux distro?

    1. Only if you reformat it. So not really a 'dual purpose' card.

    You need to use Win32DiskImager formatting tool described here http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

    to copy the distribution onto the card.

     

    2. Yes in essence the Card is the hard drive, but  you can access external storage (USB drive, memory stick, etc) for movies, etc.

    You can download and install more apps, in much the same way as you would download and install programs on a computer.

     

    Normally the card stays in, and is referenced/accessed just like the boot drive of a computer.

     

    Hope that helps
