this isn't a hardware idea per se, but i've noticed that a good amount of people need help with choosing the right SD card in #general or #newbies . i think if Flipper Devices sold official, branded, and pre-formatted microSD cards for the Flipper, people could just buy the official one and not have to worry about a new one.

What SD card should I buy?
The card you purchase should meet the following criteria:

  1. Reputable brand, such as Sandisk or Kingston
  2. MicroSD — Your Flipper will only accept a microSD
  3. 16-32GB SDHC or SDXC is plenty, however, it's tested fine up to 256GB. SDUC CARDS ARE UNSUPPORTED
  4. Flipper files are small, and most people never use more than 4GB of space when downloading everything possible.

Notes:

  • Avoid buying Toshiba cards, as they are known to have issues.
  • Newer Samsung cards that are 128gb or larger no longer support SPI.

If you already have one that you know is in good condition/still in the packaging, this should work, or you can quickly grab one from Amazon https://a.co/d/iOvZa3E.

How do I format the SD card for Flipper?
The best way, arguably, is to let Flipper do it for you. We have a handy guide here: https://docs.flipper.net/basics/sd-card.

You can buy official, branded, and pre-formatted cards from any reputable brand.
