The starter guide asks for a 4GB class 4 sd. I believe (though I am new to this) that SD cards can behave odd if they exceed the abilities of the port they are in. I'm looking to run a minecraft server and already have a 16GB UHS-1 45mb/s SD card. I'm hoping to use this card for some extra juice, will that cause any problems?
Thanks for any help.

Re: SD requirements
Most good quality, "known brand", SDHC (or micro-SDHC + adapter) 4 - 16Gb, class 4 to class 10 cards should be O.K. There is little or no "apparent" speed improvement (for most "tasks") above class 10**. More detailed info. can be found at:DiscoChoir wrote:The starter guide asks for a 4GB class 4 sd.

**Those cards being highly optimised for "camera use".
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
