SD cards come in a variety of speed and performance classes, to suit different applications.<br><br>
26+
As an operating system, BlueOS should be run using a card with _at least_ an A1 [Application Performance Class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#Performance_ratings), to avoid degraded performance and system throttling.
27+
Critical use-cases are recommended to use A2 cards, and systems intended for onboard recording of one or more video streams should use cards with a suitable [Video Speed Class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#Video_speed_class_(V)) rating (and appropriate total capacity) for the expected sustained data rates and file sizes.
