Good enough for a Raspberry Pi 400

A Raspberry Pi 400 with NOOBS on 16GB Sandisk Edge recently shipped. I've found that 16GB isn't enough for what I need, so I'm looking for 32GB. As of February 2021, this is the cheapest ($4.99) A1-rated 32GB card, so I gave it a try. Also bought Samsung Evo Select ($7.49) and Samsung Pro Endurance ($10.99) just in case. I used RPi Imager to write a full install and found that not only did it double my capacity from 16GB to 32GB, but it also significantly increased read/write performance compared to a NOOBS card. Use the Raspberry Pi's built-in Pi OS diagnostics to run the tests shown in the images. Completely satisfied with this card and returned two Samsungs.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
