Max USB Drive Size?

Post by jbasol »

Anyone know if there is a maximum size USB drive the HXr will accommodate? Looking to replace my existing sticks and seems 32 and 64GB versions are more common and yet still dirt cheap. Anyone try a 64GB stick in there's?

I am using this USB drive with GRT Hx displays. It is low profile, barely noticeable when installed on my instrument panel. No issues reading files from it.

The HXr/HX/SX/EX/Mini/10.1 models will read very large drives. I don't know if there is a limit but it's probably at least 2 TB. The important part is the format. They only have drivers to read and write to the common FAT32 format. The new exFAT format will not work and some drives 64 GB or larger may come in that format now or in the future. You can reformat them as FAT32 but you may need to override options to do so.
