MicroSD card type for RS3D

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

I have another question regarding microSD cards:

After installing my first RS3D, I got a blinking red LED. Additionally, I got many gaps in the data stream (both online and offline). This is why I formatted the microSD card and installed the RS OS. I followed the instructions found here: Undervoltage - #5 by iannesbitt

However, the SD card reformatting tools mentioned in the steps (which I found in the “microSD burning” documentation, Best USB format tools | Pen drive / stick formatters for Windows - free download) did not neither on Windows nor at Ubuntu. I used another tool called “SD card formatter” (https://www.sdcardformatter.com/download/) on Windows to format the card (FAT32). Then, I followed the steps of burning the OS into the card from the manual in Ubuntu. At the end, after a successful burning using Etcher, I got an “unallocated” partition in my card, called “Free space” (size = 4.7GB) (picture attached).

Accordingly, I decided not to put the card into my RS3D before verifying: Did I do anything wrong? Is it normal to get this “Free space” after installing the OS? Can that space be automatically allocated when I put the card in the RS3D?

Thank you again and sorry for the long and many questions!

Regards,
