Interesting. I wonder how bad the other cards are in comparison to not warrant a test at all.

- jzawodn 9y agoYeah, same here.
- geerlingguy 9y agoSee my post from 2015: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-pi-microsd-card https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-p... I re-tested a couple of the cards (notably, the Sony and Kingston cards), and they were just as painfully slow. The benchmarks took like 20 minutes (with the faster cards they only take 3-4 min). If you use knockoff cards (no brand at all, like one that came with one of my cheap drones), the performance is so abysmally slow you might think the Pi locked up for a few hours.
- kobayashi 9y agoDo you think that these top-tier cards are necessary for use in a Pi-Hole in an average home? Or is something like a Lexar card good enough?
- khedoros1 9y agoPi-Hole ends up booting, then probably mostly running in RAM, anyhow, right? I think it's just running as a DNS proxy. So you'd slow down your initial boot, but probably not hurt performance of the device much (unless I'm wrong, and it does need to read and write data often).
