The Raspberry Pi should work with any compatible SD card, although there are some guidelines that should be followed:

  1. ABOX Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Complete Starter Kit with Model B Plus Motherboard 32GB Micro SD Card NOOBS, 5V 3A On/Off Power Supply, Premium Black Case, HDMI Cable, SD Card Reader with USB A&USB C, Heatsink.
  2. Jul 01, 2019 Raspberry Pi 4 Model B gets a bit toasty and could do with improved cooling if you plan to push it hard, but that's the only minor complaint about what's otherwise a brilliant computer.
  3. Aug 04, 2014  Read about 'RPi B+ micro sd card problem' on element14.com. Hi all, I just got the new RPI B+ and I bought a Transcend Premium micro SD card.
  4. We've received a few emails regarding the new Raspberry Pi 3 microSD slot being broken, as the SD cards do not spring in and out (as it did on previous models of Raspberry Pi) Please note that the new Raspberry Pi 3 no-longer sports a spring-loaded microSD slot as per the older Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 2 models.

SD card size (capacity)

For installation of NOOBS or the image installation of Raspbian, the minimum recommended card size is 8GB. For Raspbian Lite image installations we recommend a minimum of 4GB. Some distributions, specifically LibreELEC and Arch, can run on much smaller cards. If you're planning to use a card of 64GB or more with NOOBS, see this page first.

May 21, 2015  The Raspberry Pi itself is about the size of a credit card, but it only has a standard full sized SD card slot. When you plug in a standard full sized SD card into it, the card sticks out of the outline of the Raspberry Pi, making the overall size slightly larger. Insert your SD card into the computer or laptop’s SD card slot. In SD Formatter, select your SD card, and the format the card. Extract NOOBS from the zip archive Next, you will need to extract the files from the NOOBS zip archive you downloaded from the Raspberry Pi website.

Note: Only the Raspberry Pi 3A+, 3B+ and Compute Module 3+ can boot from an SD card larger than 256 GB. This is because there was a bug in the SoC used on previous models of Pi.

SD card class

The card class determines the sustained write speed for the card; a class 4 card will be able to write at 4MB/s, whereas a class 10 should be able to attain 10 MB/s. However, it should be noted that this does not mean a class 10 card will outperform a class 4 card for general usage, because often this write speed is achieved at the cost of read speed and increased seek times.

SD card physical size

The original Raspberry Pi Model A and Raspberry Pi Model B require full-size SD cards. From the Model B+ (2014) onwards, a micro SD card is required.

Troubleshooting

We recommend buying the Raspberry Pi SD card which is available here, as well as from other retailers; this is an 8GB class 6 micro SD card (with a full-size SD adapter) that outperforms almost all other SD cards on the market and is a good value solution.

If you are having trouble with corruption of your SD cards, make sure you follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are using a genuine SD card. There are many cheap SD cards available which are actually smaller than advertised or which will not last very long.
  2. Make sure you are using a good quality power supply. You can check your power supply by measuring the voltage between TP1 and TP2 on the Raspberry Pi; if this drops below 4.75V when doing complex tasks then it is most likely unsuitable.
  3. Make sure you are using a good quality USB cable for the power supply. When using a lower quality power supply, the TP1->TP2 voltage can drop below 4.75V. This is generally due to the resistance of the wires in the USB power cable; to save money, USB cables have as little copper in them as possible, and as much as 1V (or 1W) can be lost over the length of the cable.
  4. Make sure you are shutting your Raspberry Pi down properly before powering it off. Type sudo halt and wait for the Pi to signal it is ready to be powered off by flashing the activity LED.
  5. Finally, corruption has been observed if you are overclocking the Pi. This problem has been fixed previously, although the workaround used may mean that it can still happen. If after checking the steps above you are still having problems with corruption, please let us know.

March 14 is known as Pi Day because the date represents the first three numbers in the mathematical constant π (3.14). We're celebrating with our coverage of everything Raspberry Pi related. If you've never even thought of what HTML means, you can still create amazing gadgets using Raspberry Pi and a bit of imagination.

What you'll need to get started with Raspberry Pi

  • The Pi: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ ($40 at Amazon)
  • microSD card: SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSD card ($8 at Amazon)
  • microSD card reader: SanDisk Mobile Mate microSD card reader ($13 at Amazon)
  • Power supply: CanaKit 5V Raspberry Pi Power supply ($10 at Amazon)
  • USB keyboard: AmazonBasics Wired Keyboard ($14 at Amazon)
  • USB mouse: Logitech B100 ($10 at Amazon)

You'll also need a monitor or TV that accepts either HDMI or composite video input. HDMI works best, but composite video is workable. Many Raspberry Pi projects use an internet connection, so you'll also want a Wi-Fi dongle or ethernet cable.

  5. Plug the HDMI or video component cable into the monitor or TV set.

  6. Connect the other end of the cable into the Raspberry Pi.

  7. Connect an ethernet cable to your router if you plan to connect to the Internet.

  8. Connect the other end of the cable to your Raspberry Pi.

    Alternately, connect the Wi-Fi adapter to the Raspberry Pi.

  9. Connect the power supply to the Raspberry Pi.

  10. Plug the power supply into the power outlet. This will turn on and boot up Raspberry Pi. A power indicator light will begin to glow, letting you know that you are connected.

A start screen should appear on the monitor or TV you're using.

Download the Raspbian operating system on the Raspberry Pi

  1. Select Raspbian.

  2. Click Install.

  3. When the warning window pops up. Click Yes to confirm. This is just letting you know that the microSD card will be overwritten with an uncompressed version of the Raspbian operating system.
