An SD Card for the first model, a MicroSD card for the RPi 2.EDIT 2: The Raspberry Pi 3 also seduced me… Hmmm, Wi-Fi….EDIT May 10th 2015: obviously I ordered a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B a few days after coming out, since it offers a far better processor, which is awesome to avoid a little lag you had with the first model.I ordered it from RS Components and was pretty happy about their service, but you’re free to get it anywhere you like.
