.A 64GB Raspberry Pi SD Card

SD card quality is a critical factor in determining the overall user experience for a Raspberry Pi computer. Slow bus speeds and lack of command queueing can reduce the performance of even the most powerful Raspberry Pi models.
7+
8+
Raspberry Pi's official microSD cards support DDR50 and SDR104 bus speeds. Additionally, Raspberry Pi SD cards support the command queueing (CQ) extension, which permits some pipelining of random read operations, ensuring optimal performance.
9+
10+
You can even buy Raspberry Pi SD cards pre-programmed with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS.
11+

Raspberry Pi SD cards are available in the following sizes:

* 32GB

We recommend using an SD card with at least 32GB of storage for Raspberry Pi OS installations. For Raspberry Pi OS Lite, we recommend at least 16GB. You can use any SD card with a capacity of less than 2TB. Capacities above 2TB are currently not supported due to limitations in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record[MBR]. As with any other boot media, you'll see improved performance on SD cards with faster read and write speeds.
