Some brands simply do not work at all.

Some have low level boot sectors and boot software preloaded at the factory that require a good format to get rid of before they are usable.

Personally I have had good results using the Sandisk 8 GB Cruzer Fit drives and stocked up on a few when they were cheap and available.

Considering it's actually almost impossible to fill up 8 gigs with samples and keyboard patches, I imagine they'll serve me well enough for the remaining lifetime of the keyboard.

I agree to you, 8GB will be enough for a long time and maybe two of them are 16GB.

Still saving some patches and some MIDI, hundreds of files will not fill 8GB.

Thanks for your tip, thats what I was looking for.

You're welcome Dirk.

Be advised that the Sandisks I linked do have boot software loaded on them but I simply fdisked them and formatted them to FAT32 with Linux and they worked fine afterwards.

You may have to download a utility to get rid of the crapware with Windows though.

Just google "sandisk decrapifier" and there's a utility that comes up that works with windows as well.

No problem, I'm fine with linux.
Still using all worlds: macos, ios, linux and windows. And an atari st additional
Making a clean bootloader is always a good idea, done often but not at all.

If you're using Linux, I used Gparted to clean the drive before use.

No probs

I have a PC3K7 and for portable USB storage I use a HP v150W 16GB.

It works very reliably without any issues at all.

In holiday I bought a thumb drive because of leaving all mine at home.
So I walked to an electronics market an bought a intenso rainbow series 32GB.
Works perfectly without issues at the PC3LE8.
