What size SD card do you plan to use?

I think I go with 16Gb card. Sure 8Gb would be enough I think, but at local stores seemed that there was only “brand” Silicon Power card at 8Gb. That sure would be cheap (2€) but better choose something with good quality. What card would you suggest?
btw. what method do you suggest to write ready configured system from card to image, in case I sometime end up trying that also?

SD card performance (in my experience with Pi Zero) is important.
More than you wanted to know!
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD\_card#Speed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#Speed)
More analysis than you want to know
[https://elinux.org/RPi\_SD\_cards](https://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards) and [http://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards](http://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards)
Too many choices. I go with a well known memory manufacture like Kingston, PNY SanDIsk and check the analysis.
Write the card with [https://www.balena.io/etcher/](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) it is easy (takes gz) safe(finds SD card) and free

Image of _running_ RuuviCollector on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, with grafana for a 16GB SD and IMPORTANT notes at [http://MyBeacons.info/RuuviCollectorSD.html](http://MyBeacons.info/RuuviCollectorSD.html) . Let me know if it works for you (or if it doesn’t)

Thanks, just downloading image. I bought Sandisk Ultra SDHC as originally planned and seems like that’s sold also with officially preflashed rasbian. My Zero W is on it’s way but seems it wil take longer for it until arrives. Will test and report when posible to do so.
Thanks again.

Yeah certainly could be used as a BLE to wifi gateway and looks fine.

Thanks a lot for great share, i’ll setup it soon.[.](https://get-vidmate.com/vidmate-2014/) [.](https://instasave.onl/)

Just to say I have developed a Pi Zero WH based IOT cellular gateway for BLE devices plus other Smart Device protocols too - works great .
