Yes, I know that you should use a ssd instead of a sd card but I’m just new to this and just trying it out. So which sd card should I get based on the picture I sent over. It’s for my 4gb Pi4. Should I get the one that I circled in blue? I researched it and the speeds are pretty fast. My old micro sd card took 2 hours for HA to load up and sometimes it doesn’t even load.
any tips are also appreciated

Look for endurance cards. For this use case you want to concentrate on 4k speed values and safety and longevity. Sequential speed isn't the most important.
Also why not start properly from the get go with a SSD?
Oh uh do you have a picture from the internet as an example of what you were saying about endurance cards
I just bought a rsb pi case and was gonna stick with it for now
Just add endurance to your search.
Apparently these ones corrupt less and live longer than normal ones.
Yep.
Ohh probably why it’s saying high endurance haha
Alright thank you I’ll go get them tomorrow
Here's an older discussion about it: #1330242831859585074 message
I got it
Decided to just get the 64gb instead of the128 because it shouldn’t take that much space for just ha
Larger cards also have more endurance, are usually faster and it's better to plan for expansion. 32G is the minimum recommendation.
Ohh alright
Since you're using an RPi4, why not get a Raspberry Pi SD card developed for the RPi? 32G or 64G will be plenty big enough.
