General Notes:
All modern UHS-I U1 and U3 cards will generally work ok. We suggest buying the fastest card in your budget as they tend to have faster access times and better quality memory chips.
Tip: MicroSD market is full of fake and mislabeled cards – try to purchase cards which the seller has obtained directly from the manufacturer. Be wary of cheap, high capacity cards – If it looks too good to be true – then it is fake! We always suggest testing the SD card fully using something like H2Testw.
