    Don't get a cheap one. Save yourself from that pain. I've got an old 8GB one I was using, but it was slow asf.
    Put in a new 32GB one and it worked smoothly.

    You can just put an empty file in the boot partition called ssh and it will boot once with SSH enabled

    @matthewp3247 that assumes you have a keyboard and mouse attached and are not accessing the device remotely

    I just went through my trash drawer and took the best one I could find in there. It was a 32GB Class 10. It's OK I guess.

    Always have a trash drawer for cases like these. Fill it up with cheap bulk stuff. It's always gonna come handy. I once bought a bulk order of fast USB drives, 8, 16GB. Now I don't have to worry about which one to use for a new Linux distribution.
