Problem <strong>SD</strong> <strong>Card</strong>s<br />

Make sure that you buy your card from a reliable source. There are many cheap Chinese<br />

copies of (brand name) <strong>SD</strong>-<strong>Card</strong>s on the market, [49] (http://www.petapixel.com/2011/<br />

05/20/one-third-of-the-sandisk-memory-cards-on-earth-are-counterfeit/) in addition they<br />

are often mislabeled as having greater capacity than they really have. For example they<br />

might be sold as being 4GB, but are actually 2GB (or even less).<br />

There were initially issues with most Class 10 <strong>SD</strong>HC cards, apparently due to a bug in<br />

the Broadcom bootloader.[50] (http://www.raspberrypi.<strong>org</strong>/forum/general-discussion/<br />

class-10-sd-cards-on-the-production-boards/page-3/#p39181)<br />

This seems to have been fixed in sdhci.c: [51] (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/<br />

commit/7e8ae226fe6e95954df6b0dcdde40a53dbbc1a0b) Further feedback will be useful.<br />

If you add an <strong>SD</strong> card here, please also mention the kernel date and the date you tried it.<br />

This allows people to estimate how likely it is that a driver-fix in the kernel has been<br />

fixed. (i.e. I think some/most of the cards here work fine now, because a problem in the<br />

kernel driver has been fixed).<br />
