In this chapter, you will learn about using the Raspberry Pi’s built-in MicroSD card slot, SD adapters for microSD cards, USB flash drives, USB card readers, and the WDLabs PiDrives made for Raspberry Pi. Depending upon the Raspberry Pi model in use, some USB drives might be connected via a USB 2.0 hub. Many of these devices are pictured in Figure 3-1.
