Anywhere selling USB sticks.

If Diana were to buy a usb flash drive on amazon, what is a recommended brand and specifications (size, etc.) that she should buy for her fr7x?

I buy the "SanDisk 16GB Cruzer Glide USB 2.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ60-016G-B35" directly from Amazon at $5.95.

I have had no problem using it directly (no formatting, etc.). There a couple files I erase on the drive, "SandiskSecureAccess" Folder and "SandiskSecureAccess"SandiskSecureAccess3.01_Win". I do this so there no files at all on the Flash Drive. A month ago when I ordered the 16GB drive I received a 32GB Drive. With memory getting cheaper and cheaper, the 16GB might not be available. However, I believe the 32 GB drive should work.

I'm glad you chimed in @John M, as I was going to suggest choosing a mano, bombata USB drive.

I would also suggest taking a drive around the block.

What a lovely idea, if it weren't for the foot of snow and arctic conditions in the glens...

Maybe a drive around the old reed block instead?

An inch of wet snow here, gotta clear it before it freezes.....

The 7X and 8X have the exact same requirements for USB sticks.

I think just about any of them will work if formatted correctly. (FAT 32) I have used several different kinds in my FR4X.

That is exactly my own personal experience too.

Think Roland at one time had this type? They do recommend these if I recall on their web page?

Larry... nah. The Roland doesn't take advantage of the USB 3.1 standard, it rolls at about 50% of the speed of USB 1.0 (as evidenced by larger WAV files skipping or not even playing due to the limited output bandwidth)... so wasting money. Go for the cheapest one and format it on the accordion (if its an 8X or 4X... on the computer if you are MAC or PC) and you are good to go.

If formatting the stick on a PC, keep partition size UNDER 32gb and all is good.

Thanks for the info! I ordered one from amazon. I'm just waiting for it to come. .
