dominiquegreffard Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi all, Just having my machine back from the factory and now being able to deliver sound to a usb stick i'm wondering what do you guys use? Ideally i would like something very short that could be left in the machine. 8 gig would probably be enough but 16gb would even be better. Thanks!

Zack Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I stopped mirroring anything to USB other than Mp3 files (if that would even work correctly). Before, I was using a 16gb SanDisk, but you'll find that mirroring .wav to USB is very slow and will freeze your system randomly. It's been stated a few times from Zax, that the USB is not ideally recommended for .wav mirroring. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason porter Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 When they work out all the bugs and IF the speed improves, how about this- http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10470355/mfg_partno/P-FD16GHP165-GE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I've got a mini usb stick that sticks out only 1/4" or so. I have run it plenty with no issues. I prefer cf because i have a lot of them, but usb works fine for me. Mirroring won't turn on automatically because the usb takes too long to mount, and i have to restart after formatting, but those are minor bugs imo.

John Blankenship Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 These have a low enough profile that one can live in the slot during even active run-n-gun gigs without danger of damage: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005FYNSZA/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1389047793&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have used San Disk 16GB drives several times with no issue. if you want to go with a lager drive I have used this: http://www.l-com.com/usb-usb-20-type-a-low-profile-right-angle-adapters It orients the drive parallel to the unit so it doesn't stick out.

Weird, the few times I tried to mirror to USB I had no issues and it seemed quite a bit faster than mirroring to CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been great. Except when the data Wrangler looses it in his pocket i use the lanyard now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrg Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well, this is slightly old, but i have a Nomad12T and is supposedly usb ready, but nothing shows up/no option to mirror to usb at all. The guy i bought it from said it never worked, but he used Touch with no issue... FYI, in advanced setup, USB is enabled with update Dec 21 2012. Thanks all. *EDIT - Howy replied and i have changed down to 7.81B. USB mirror is now an option, though the usb sticks i have are 'unrecognised disk format'. will try a few more bits.
