Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Rpi2 now available, and loads current XSCE master
as another data point, the 64G pny microsd from amazon has been working well so far. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N2ROG9O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8psc=1 For those who prefer one-stop shop on the rpi2 and are willing to pay a little more http://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-starter-kit.html is what I bought. Has a compatible wifi adapter and a 2.5A power supply plus case, etc. From: Adam Holt Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2015 5:28 PM To: xsce-devel ; XS Devel Subject: Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Rpi2 now available, and loads current XSCE master On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 2:10 PM, Tim Moody t...@timmoody.com wrote: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SanDisk-128GB-Ultra-Micro-SDXC-UHS-1-Class-10-MicroSD-Memory-Card-w-SD-2015-/221700292717 I wonder what the top usable speed for an sd card is for this device.

While retail packaging machines are easily available, the cost to use them in a scam would make the scam too expensive. The most likely problems to expect are devices that haven't passed the tests at the end of the manufacturing line, that either lose data, slow down, hang, short circuit, break apart when inserted, or cannot be ejected. By selecting temporary agents you may be moving some of the costs of remediation via your warranty rights under law to yourself. This is certainly a viable practice, but to compensate for the risks get four times the quantity you need, and subject half of them to extensive tests.
