What SD Card class does everyone recommend?

What SD Card for OSMC does everyone recommend? and what size preferably too.

Thanks in advance.

Samsung Evo or Sandisk Ultra size depends on your usage I use 8 gig and have large librarys. 16 gig would work

Suggest you check the search function as this has been answered before.
But besides the Class (10) it is most important that you use a quality card (Samsung or SanDisk).

Suggested SD Card Size

Is there a recommended size for the SD card used for Kodi OSMC? I’ve seen many sold that are 8mb but it seems like larger would work better. Thanks.

Minimum/maximum SD card size for a Pi 2?

I’m planning to put any library content on an external USB thumb drive so that it doesn’t get lost if I re-image OSMC on my Pi 2 so is there any benefit whatsoever in going above a certain size for the micro SD card for the OSMC imaged boot card? I’m planning to get a Samsung Evo card (Amazon.co.uk) because I’ve heard that it has really good random read and write speeds which apparently is important for OSMC and other Linux/Kodi systems and I’m wondering whether there is any benefit whatsoever …

SDCard Choice

Using Samsung and Sandisk Class 10 UHS-1 cards in 2 RPI2 and a a RPI1 running sdhost fine for quite some time.

@fzinken

Sandisk Class 10 UHS

So my second EVO card died not with an OSMC on it so don’t panic was an raspbian, so the EVO’s have an problem use other cards.

Sounds like you had some bad luck. All my Evo cards are heavily used and work great and I have not seen any reports of any failures of Evo cards before. In fact I would say that the Samsung Evo’s are one of the best cards you can get for a Raspberry Pi both for performance and reliability.
