Product Description
The Raspberry Pi Official 32GB A2 U3 V30 Class 10 MicroSDHC Memory Card (SKU Raspberry-Pi-OS-pre-installed-Memory-card-32GB, MPN 5056561804200) is a removable 32GB card built to the SD 6.1 specification. It stores the operating system, applications and configuration files for Raspberry Pi computers and other devices that accept microSDHC cards.
What the ratings mean
- A2 (Application Performance Class 2): suited to frequent small reads and writes, which is how a Linux system behaves while it runs.
- Class 10, U3 and V30: speed classes for sustained transfers, including video.
- DDR50 and SDR104: bus modes the card supports when the host device does.
- Command Queueing: lets compatible Raspberry Pi hardware line up storage requests. On a Raspberry Pi 5, this needs suitable software.
Random 4KB performance
IOPS means input/output operations per second. These are manufacturer-specified figures.
- Raspberry Pi 4, DDR50: up to 3,200 read and 1,200 write IOPS
- Raspberry Pi 5, SDR104: up to 5,000 read and 2,000 write IOPS
Physical and electrical
- Standard microSD size: 15 × 11 × 1mm
- Operating voltage: 2.7–3.6V
- Operating temperature: -25°C to +85°C
Where it fits
The card holds operating system and configuration data for Raspberry Pi-based network monitoring, automation and equipment management systems. It also suits software development, embedded controllers and network diagnostic devices. It is storage only, so you still need the Raspberry Pi or other microSDHC host and its power.
