kgallen Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (Sorry if this is covered elsewhere). Any guidelines for USB Memory Sticks for use with FLX? Like: compatible/incompatible brands (including physical limitations!), memory sizes, formatting requirements. USB 2.0 specified in the manual, don't see any other specs. Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Hole Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 There's no reason a USB stick shouldn't work on FLX - we've not had any problems so far. We normally use quite small USB sticks (1GB - 8GB) rather than the larger 16GB / 32GB upwards, as it takes ZerOS slightly longer to index them when you plug them in. On our other ZerOS consoles, there are some compatibility issues when installing software (For example, the Kingston Traveller range doesn't work). However, on FLX we have the new, simpler and quicker installation method where we don't have that problem.

SimonH Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi, This is an old post and I wondered if there was any update on the size of USB? I carry a 192Gb on my keyring for all my handy bits and pieces and it doesn't seem to want to read that? Is it limited to USB 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi SimonH, I am pretty sure they will only work in FAT32 format as opposed to NTFS. Have a go in that format if your stick is currently NTFS. Unsure on size but as Jon mentions it should read it but just take longer to index the larger sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks for that, will give it a go edit: just checked and my stick is already FAT32 but it is a USB 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Z88 Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi @SimonH ZerOS consoles do not support large-capacity drives in the exFAT format. Large-capacity drives (64GB+) in the NTFS format should be compatible with ZerOS. Drives in the exFAT format can be reformatted to NTFS. Hope this helps.
