RE: Thumb drive for MK4s

I would recommend a name brand drive. I think the formatting has to be FAT32.

I originally had issues with larger than 32 GB drives because of the formatting. This may have since changed, but keep in mind.

I personally use one of these....  https://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-32-GB-Cruzer-Fit-USB-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-A46/22274661?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101587783

Thank you! Just so happens I ordered a mini usb thumb drive last night. I hope the 64gb will be ok. It is really small!         https://a.co/d/gmTPqMj

I think most drives are fat32 because it is more universal but is shouldn't be too hard to reformat.  Will a blank drive repopulate from my inline prusa storage?

Windows won't format bigger drives than 32GB to FAT32, but I've heard that there exist workarounds. Perhaps Rufus can do that? (Yes, I googled it, and it seems that way. Select "large FAT32").

But you don't really need a bigger drive anyway.
