Works perfectly!
Works perfectly! love the compact usb reader! I'm using this with the mp3 Trigger to attach with the illumitune mini I replicated from the tutorials, now my son can play his favorite song and play along!
Ok but probably not worth it
This is, what is now, a small and slow SD card. It did work to load and run the Raspi Jessie version on my RPi B+, which was what I was trying to do after having trouble with two other Kingston 16Gb SDs from another source. But in the course of the investigation I also bought a different 16Gb Class 10 (faster) card at Office Despot for less than the cost of this kit. Also this card was slightly smaller (~7.5Gb) than my original RPi 8Gb card and thus would require re-partitioning of my dd'ed backup file to just copy across.
Just info for people who don't understand the Class 4 rating. Class ratings on SD cards is for maximum read/write capabilities. Class 4 means it can do 4MB/s. Consult this Wiki page for more info on it: Speed Class Ratings
May I suggest adding the, (up to 4MB/s read-write) to the Class 4 in the features section?
class ratings are minimums, not maximums.
I recommend this memory flash to use with raspberry Pi model-B and with raspbian OS version 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.zip. http://93.174.99.29/bt/dddeb7aa46fc4b4780d6513b0c2f16ebddf7fed0/data/2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.zip
But beware if you want install slackwarearm-14.0 operating system to run on raspberry Pi I did the installation of the slackwarearm-14.0 on this SD Card, but it fails when is time to boot.
So for me this SD card works perfectly with raspberry Pi model-B using raspbian OS version 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian
Hey, not a bad price! Shoot it's even better than Wall Mart.
