 ## Flash
 
-We recommend using a fresh SD card with at least 4GB capacity, although more storage is recommended for recording data.
+We recommend using a fresh SD card with at least 32GB[^3] capacity, although more storage is recommended for onboard data recording (especially for high bandwidth data like video streams and imaging sonar).
 
 1. Download and install [Balena Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/)
 1. Insert the SD card to your computer (you may need an SD card reader)
 1. Open Etcher, select the image you just downloaded, and flash it onto the SD card
 
+[^3]:SD cards with less than 8GB capacity are not expected to load BlueOS, and 16GB or below may suffer from reduced performance, particularly if also installing BlueOS Extensions.

 ## Run
 
 1. Eject your SD card with the new BlueOS software
