itservices Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Sorry for my beginner question. I have read and searched a lot here. Unfortunately, I did not find an answer to my question: "Is it a k.o. criterion for stable operation of a Unraid server if the capacity of the USB flash drive exceeds 32 GBytes? I have 64 and 128 GBytes sticks here (with a GUID). Can I use these safely and sustainably?" Thank you very much for your help. Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted April 16, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 16, 2023 The problem with drives larger than 32GB is that the flash dtive needs to be formatted as FAT32 which standard Windows cannot do. As long as you can get it formatted that way larger drives should work. 1 Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I seem to recall that the USB creator is supposed to be able to format 32+ no problems. Never tried it though. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think you may be right, but I do not bother with flash drives that large as it seems a waste of space so not tried it myself either. Plenty of 3rd party utilities around that can do this anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
