What specs should I look for in a USB thumb drive for my 2022

I looked in the manual, and can't find anything about maximum size or anything.

Thanks.

I have this 64GB one and it works great.

Amazon Amazon

The second Gen minis were capped at 32GB from what I remember, but I've never seen anything about the max for a 3rd gen.

Sorry - potential dummy question here. What do you use a thumb drive for in our F56 models? Is it just for music playlists, or something else? Thanks!

One of these came in the care package MINI sent when I bought the car.

From general experience, not from the MINI, I prefer USB drives that have a cable, because in some situations a USB key takes a lot of heat from the device it is plugged in to and gets destroyed. Maybe try a USB extension cable.

Also, I recall the MINI has a pretty low power output, not every device can be powered by the MINI, or recharge quickly.

I've never had this problem in my 20 years of owning MINIs.

↑ Same here. Never ever heard of 'low power' output.
