“The pre-installed Raspberry Pi OS microSD is very convenient, especially if you want a plug-and-play experience.
Booted immediately without needing to flash anything. The system setup was straightforward and perfect for quick start or for users who don’t want to manually install the OS.
Pros:
• Ready to use out of the box
• Saves setup time
• Stable official Raspberry Pi OS
• Good for beginners or quick deployment
Cons:
• Not the fastest microSD available
• Advanced users may still prefer NVMe or SSD
Overall, it’s a great option for convenience and reliability. Perfect if you want to get started instantly.”
“I wanted to have the official microSD Card just to be sure it was compatible and the speeds where the best I could achieve. It included some pre-installed software, but I used the official Raspberry Imager to create my own. The SD works as expected.”
