This Official Micro SD Card Bundle for the Raspberry Pi consists of a Class 6 Micro SD card pre-loaded with the Official Raspberry Pi NOOBS (New Out of Box Software) package, and a beautifully screen printed Micro SD card adaptor with the Raspberry Pi logo! Simply plug this SD card into your Raspberry Pi, and on first boot you will be given a choice of six recommended Raspberry Pi Operating Systems, including:
- Archlinux - A Lightweight and Flexible Linux Distribution
- OpecELEC (Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center) - XBMC Media Centre OS.
- Pidora - A Fedora Remix optimized for the Raspberry Pi
- RaspBMC - A Linux Distribution Based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi
- Raspbian - The recommended OS, which contains LXDE, Midori and Development Tools
- RiscOS - Designed in Cambridge, England by Acorn. Released in 1987, it's a little bit of history!
A note on SD card nomenclature. The card we're offering here is rated as Class 6 in some metrics, Class 6 means slow. This is not the case with this card, which has outperformed many Class 10 cards in our tests - classification seems not to correlate well with random read/write performance. For the 8GB, Samsung's unusual focus on random-access performance on their SD memory means that this card performs very fast and very reliably - and on the 16GB card, Transcend have an equally good track record. Either way, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised! Latest image available from the Raspberry Pi Foundation Downloads
