Raspberry Pi Launches Own Brand MicroSD Memory Cards with Multiple Capacities
TapTechNews October 8th, according to the Raspberry Pi local time yesterday's news blog, the Raspberry Pi officials announced the launch of its own brand of microSD memory cards, including 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities, aiming to provide a cost-effective choice for Raspberry Pi ecosystem users.
The Raspberry Pi SD Card complies with the SD 6.1 specification and can work at -25°F to +185°F, and has C10, U3, V30 speed class certifications. When paired with the Raspberry Pi 5 and using the SDR104 bus speed mode, the random 4K read and write performance can reach 5000/2000 IOPS respectively.
The Raspberry Pi officials said that when verifying the compatibility of the SD memory card command queue (CQ) mode that can improve the random I/O throughput performance, it was found that some third-party A2 application performance level memory cards did not implement the CQ mode well, which became the motivation for the Raspberry Pi to launch the first-party A2 speed level memory card.
Raspberry Pi finally chose Jiangbolong as the OEM partner of the first-party cost-effective memory card. The memory cards produced by Jiangbolong have passed the robustness test of accidental power outage 10,000 times under heavy I/O load and have been optimized for the Raspberry Pi 5.
The 32GB model of the Raspberry Pi SD Card memory card is priced at $9.95 at the partner (TapTechNews note: currently about 70.1 RMB), and the 64GB model is $11.95 (currently about 84.2 RMB).
The Raspberry Pi also launched a $3 (currently about 21.1 RMB) Bumper snap-on silicone base for the Raspberry Pi 5, which can protect the bottom and edges of the single-board computer.
