Key Specifications

• Capacity: 64 GB – ample space for full OS installations, software packages, and large media collections.
• Speed Class: Class 10 – guarantees a minimum write speed of 10 MB/s, ensuring smooth boot times and responsive performance.
• A2 Application Performance Class: Supports up to 4000 random read IOPS and 2000 random write IOPS, enabling fast app launches and multitasking on Raspberry Pi devices.
• U3 (Ultra‑High Speed) Rating: Guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 30 MB/s, suitable for video recording and high‑resolution media.
• UHS‑I Interface: Provides higher bandwidth compared to standard SD cards, reducing bottlenecks in data‑intensive tasks.
• Form Factor: MicroSD – the smallest memory card format, fitting seamlessly into Raspberry Pi boards without additional adapters.

Optimized for Raspberry Pi

The card is engineered to work flawlessly with all Raspberry Pi models, from the original Pi 1 to the latest Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 400. Its compatibility ensures that users can install Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian), lightweight Linux distributions, or even Windows IoT Core without any driver or firmware issues.

Performance Highlights

Thanks to the A2 rating and UHS‑I interface, this microSD card delivers:

• Rapid boot times – typically under 30 seconds for a fresh OS installation.
• Fast application launches – ideal for development environments and educational projects.
• Smooth media playback – supports 4K video streaming and high‑resolution photo libraries without buffering.
• Efficient data logging – perfect for IoT projects that require frequent read/write operations.

Durability and Reliability

The card is built with robust flash memory technology, featuring error correction codes (ECC) and wear‑leveling algorithms. This ensures long-term stability even under continuous write cycles typical of embedded systems and media servers.

Installation and Setup

1. Insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi’s SD slot.
2. Use a computer or Raspberry Pi to flash your preferred operating system onto the card. Popular tools include balenaEtcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, and Win32 Disk Imager.
3. Once flashed, power on the Raspberry Pi. The device will boot directly from the microSD card.

Use Cases

• Educational Platforms: Deploy multiple student projects with isolated OS environments.
• Media Centers: Run Kodi or Plex on a Raspberry Pi, storing large video libraries locally.
• IoT Gateways: Store sensor data and firmware updates for edge computing nodes.
• Retro Gaming Consoles: Host emulators and game ROMs with quick load times.

Why Choose This Card?

The combination of high capacity, Class 10 speed, A2 performance, and UHS‑I interface makes this microSD card a standout choice for anyone looking to maximize the potential of their Raspberry Pi. Its compact size eliminates the need for adapters, simplifying setup and reducing clutter.

Compatibility Summary

This microSD card works with:

• Raspberry Pi 1 Model B/B+
• Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/B+
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (including 8‑GB variant)
• Raspberry Pi 400
