Review on πŸ“· Optimized Raspberry Pi 16GB SD Card Preloaded with Noobs by Darin Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy installation, suitable for Micro SD cards

Used this NOOB SD card for my first Raspberry Pi trip. I didn't want to go through downloading and burning and image to SD card. NOOB's SD card increased my chances of getting a quick and easy version of the Raspberry Pi OS and getting it up and running quickly. All I can say is IMMEDIATE SATISFACTION! Once the operating system was loaded onto a very impressive Windows-style GUI, I was able to spend my time figuring out how to get ShairPort working. I wanted to use the Pi as an Apple AirPlay device since Apple stopped selling the Airport Express. Again, I was surprised at how easy it was to launch ShairPort and recognize it as an Apple iTunes. I've now found a great replacement for Airport Express' AirPlay feature. I have 10 AirPort Express routers doing nothing and streaming music around our house and pool. I am now confident that I can continue to use this music distribution system for the foreseeable future. Without having to buy some VERY EXPENSIVE new AirPlay 2 devices. :)

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
