RE: List of Memory sticks & micro-drives that will/will not work in Evoque's USB socket

My 256GB OCZ SSD works like a charm. I'm only using it to stream videos to the rear seat entertainment for the kids... about 75 movies on it right now, about 40GB free space, and no issues with startup or during use. Still hate the fact that the RSE can only access the USB port at the back rather than the one inside of the armrest.

2 important notes... format it as FAT32, and (because of 32 bit addressing) each file must be less than 4GB.

I have a mixture of DivX and XVid files, and there is no real difference in the quality.

Cheers!

same as mine... most times after the 4th ot 5th song at shuffle all it doesn´t shuffle anymore and play the same song all the time... grrrrEvil

RE: List of Memory sticks & micro-drives that will/will not work in Evoque's USB socket

Just tried my USB stick in new freelander with meridian stereo and it still takes about a minute before playing - therefore that's either how it is with so much data or the stick, and not the evoque stereo at fault.

RE: List of Memory sticks & micro-drives that will/will not work in Evoque's USB socket

My 64gb stick worked fine when I reformatted to FAT32. However, I found a limitation : although there is plenty of space on the stick for my music (about 1,100 CD's ripped at 128), I found that some of the folders showed no contents. After a lot of experimentation I've come to the conclusion that there is a limit to the number of folders the unit can read, this appears to be 1,006. As I have my music organised by Artist and then Album, this produced too many folders. However I found that there doesn't appear to be a limit on the number of tracks inside a folder. I have sorted this (temporarily) by combining tracks from double albums (one, a triple, has over 70 tracks). This isn't ideal but at least now I can see all of my music.

Does anyone else have the same problem, and do you have a better solution? I still want to be able to search by Artist then Album within Artist.

I seem to have a problem with my ScanDisk Cruzer Edge USB 8gb as it shows the songs on my screen but does not play any? Any advice out there? Thanks

Please confirm how much data is on the stick and how long before it starts playing once inserted.
Thx

RE: List of Memory sticks & micro-drives that will/will not work in Evoque's USB socket

Hi,
I changer my USB stick 64gb to a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 120gb with a adapter sata2usb (USB is Y one power, one data)

About 70gb of music and song : realy fast ! No need to put second USB for power.
I find my USB stick fast -10secondes, but the ssd is -7secondes when auto power on.
when change from music to video, or one film to another, one song to another.. is too fast !

In my computer (iMac) these ssd have only 90mA of power consomption.

Don't hesitate to buy this product, maybe more capacity but i can't confirm Max capacity of ssd avaible for meridian.

Regards

List of Memory sticks & micro-drives that will/will not work in Evoque's USB ...

This sounds like an interesting idea. How are you "mounting" the SSD?

Hi,
Out of the box, without external case, just with sata2usb3 câble (from amazon)
And today, in experiment at home, not still placed in car, just reçeived all product today :
A external usb3 wifi 2.5 case with batterie (icy box wifi) 55€
Wifi in this case can act as access point and client to another, in my 3G iPhone sharing.
Ipad conect to icybox and can view mp3 or avi and with sharing of 3G, ipad can go to internet.

Actual Issue :
Is icy box is directly connected in USB, it act as normal USB case and wifi is stopped, we need to choose between 2.
Some avi (divx) the sound is not present, i think when sound is AC3
No still understand the icy box ipad app, i view no files, i use oplayer or smb Explorer and vlc for ipad.

I need stil research

Regards
