USB Drive capacity for soundboard data?

(1/3) > >>

Can someone tell me a good size USB thumb drive to carry for the rare case where I have board access and can simply hand the FOH a drive and walk away until the end of the show? 

32GB?  64GB? 128gb? bigger?

Most default to 24/48 in my experience, the x32's and Midas m32's and similar varieties. I dont think you need that big a drive, I think its more of the write speed that helps with consistenly initializing properly. Ive had good luck with 16's and 32's. These work.

I know some devices have a max size for SD cards/USB drives.

32GB is gonna cover you for more than 24 hours of 24/48.

Thanks guys.  I'm guessing 16gb-32gb and making sure that it is USB 3.0 compatible (for speed) is a great starting point.  I will make sure to put a few in my bag and leave a phone number on the drive itself just in case.

Just one more fan of the 32GB usb drive. Used them successfully many times on both Midas and Behringer gear.
