recommended micro sd card ?

[xalius]

Thank you so much xalius.  It so helpful.

For random writes:
             Pine 52%
             Samsung 79%
             EVO 100%

I had ordered three of the Pine cards thinking it would provide me with the most flexibility among operating systems and that the Pine team would have selected the best ones for their boards.  I also felt that it would get me up and running quickest without having to chase down the best, copy each operating system and set them up, each with their own quirks.

One of the key things I wanted to do with the Pine was heavily read/write dependent.

I am now wondering if for the primary card for that use if it makes sense to replace it with an EVO.

If it's Linux you are talking about you could also try to run the root-fs from a USB stick and just boot from the sdcard, put /tmp and other temporary folders on a ramdrive...
