Best USB Thumb Drive for X7
The way storage tech has progressed since the original release of the X7, I'm wondering what the best/largest USB thumb drive is, that people have been able to put in their X7, and stream high quality music files from.
The more storage the better, as I have a rather large media library, and want to make the most out of the B&W audio. Much more than the hard drive can hold Slim form would also be nice, something like this, USB-C would be even better: |

if you're really concerned with trundling your 10T of flac, get a few of them.

There was another thread on here a while back about streaming audio files on the B&W, but not about the storage drive, as I recall. Thanks, jsmonet |

I'm using a USB-device with a high(er) capacity as well. It is a Samsung, 256 GB. However, I'm not sure this is working properly.
When I start the vehicle, the main display shows 'USB device not supported'. However, I can access and play all the files on there. What I noticed is that the shuffle-feature always returns the identical order of songs. Even if I unplug it and put it back in, I get the same order. I have no idea what is causing this. I think I should try a different USB-stick...

you need it properly formatted. If you're on a mac, it needs to be formatted exFAT. On windows you need to format it FAT32
Mind your 4gb individual file size limits

I am using this one, which is stored in the center console box. Can hold tons of media for RSE.
