This card was rated UHS 3, proving how meaningless these speed numbers are.

Fatty Dove: You wouldnвЂ™t expect much of a no-name brand like Fatty Dove so you wonвЂ™t be disappointed.

It had the slowest app open times and also failed the Raspberry Pi Diagnostic Test. It was the slowest card to boot by far, taking more than twice as long as the fastest booting card on both the Pi 4 and Pi 3 B+, the Kingston Canvas React.

Silicon Power Elite: This card costs a few dollars more than the Silicon Power 3D NAND and yet it performs so much worse.

Its app open and boot times were good, but its 4K random write speed and its sequential write speed were poor enough for it to flunk the Raspberry Pi Diagnostic test.

Lexar 633x: The second least expensive card we tested, the Lexar 633x isnвЂ™t all bad.

The Raspberry Pi Diagnostic tool gave the Performance Turbo a failing grade, thanks to an awful 4K random write speed of 0.8 MBps.

PNY Performance Turbo : The most expensive card we tested at $14.90 (UK price N/A), this card did not live up to its name or its price tag.

SanDisk Extreme: This card really was not bad, offering solid all-around performance for, at press time, a little more than $10 or ВЈ10.

#SANDISK MICRO SD CARD 32 PLUS#

On the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, the Evo Plus got really good application open times and slightly better 4K writes. The card had solid transfer rates in IOzone, though its 4K random writes were a little disappointing (rates were much higher in the Raspberry Pi Diagnostic test). It also booted in a speedy 24.7 seconds, only 0.7 seconds slower than the Kingston Canvas React. In our tests on the Raspberry Pi 4, the Samsung Evo Plus offered consistently strong application opens, coming within 0.2 to 0.3 seconds of the leader. Most of us probably arenвЂ™t worried about submerging a card in water, but itвЂ™s nice to know that if you waterproof your Raspberry Pi, the card will be fine too. Samsung backs the Evo Plus with a 10 year warranty and claims that the card can survive X-rays, magnetic radiation and even 72 hours in seawater. Selling for a modest $8.51 (ВЈ7.29) at publication time, the Samsung Evo Plus offers solid performance from a highly-trusted brand at a very reasonable price. We're tracking all of the sales on our best Black Friday Raspberry Pi deals page. Whether you need 16GB cards for your projects or a 512GB card for your Raspberry Pi powered arcade cabinet, there is a card for every project and wallet. This Black Friday season is a great time to buy extra storage for your Raspberry Pi. Even if you are running a game emulation system with lots of ROMs, you are unlikely to exceed 32GB (though some have).

#SANDISK MICRO SD CARD 32 UPDATE#

With every update and release slowly using more and more of your card, 8GB will soon become too small for a typical setup.

#SANDISK MICRO SD CARD 32 INSTALL#

But for the full Raspberry Pi experience you will need the full install and that leaves you very little, if any, extra space on an 8GB card.

#SANDISK MICRO SD CARD 32 HOW TO#

Raspberry Pi OS can run on a card thatвЂ™s as small as 8GB (see how to set up a Raspberry Pi) if used with the Lite version of the OS. We chose the 32GB capacity because it offers more than enough room for most use cases while not being appreciably more expensive than 16 or 8GB cards. But which microSD card should you buy for your Raspberry Pi? To help find the answer, we tested ten different 32GB cards on a Raspberry Pi 4, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a Raspberry Pi Zero W to see which offers the best performance for the money.
