What USB music storage device works for you?

[lgbalch]

Since the Genesis nav hard drive doesn't do music storage (even Buick's does!), I want to buy a USB drive I can use for that purpose. I see posts from people having problems with theirs. Before I spend my money, I'd like to hear what particularly drives are being used successfully. Please? Thanks.

One of the biggest factors is that the drive must be FAT formatted, which is usually not a problem with thumb drives. It is a concern with 2.5" USB hard drives, which are usually not formatted as FAT32. Also, some 2.5" drives may draw more power than can be delivered by a single USB port (and need a Y-adapter to pull from two ports). Since the Genesis only has one USB port, those hard drives wouldn't work unless you could work out something that feeds power from the 12V outlet.

I've used a 32GB stick with no problems, except for the Lexicon's slow indexing and browsing of the files.

I use a 16G flashdrive. It's awesome!
