Storage for New Build (Rpi4B 2GB)

[vibe425]

Hello,

Can anybody recommend any tried and tested microSD and USB Flash Drive models that work well and offer good performance and value?

I am thinking of starting with a 64gb microSD, then potentially moving the ROMs to a USB Flash Drive (maybe 256GB).

For the microSD, I read good things about:

• SanDisk Ultra (A1, U1) / Extreme (A2, v30) / Extreme Pro
• Samsung EVO Plus (A1 or A2, v10 or v30) / Pro - although these seem slower than the SanDisks
• Kingston Canvas Go Plus (A2, v30)
• Amazon Basics (A2, U3)

Similarly, for the USB:

• SanDisk Ultra Fit - very tidy, but stories of overheating
• SanDisk Ultra - not sure if a bit fat for the RPi4 USB sockets being so close
• SanDisk Ultra Flair
• Integral?
• Kingston?

I'm using an Argon ONE V2 case. May overclock the Pi a little if needed.

What are others using with success? Any solid performers / good buys/recommendations?
