I’m building a music server and plan to put all the files on a 64GB USB data stick like the one you mention above. Since in the end you didn’t use that 64 GB stick, just want to confirm that it worked without problems. Internet search indicates that not all 64GB data sticks will work.
Thanks for any advice,
Gary
I now have the 64gb USB stick attached to the XMBC Pi and have not had any issues with it. I’ve tried the 128gb USB stick in a PC a few times just to make sure it still works.
