Hdd and SSD Pioneer

[Alastor]

Hi

What hdd or SSD works with avh Pioneer radios?


Thanks

not many.

from their site:

USB memory devices and USB hard disks in FAT16, FAT32 or HFS+ format are supported.
NTFS is not supported

most drives are not FAT16 or FAT32.

But you can to format on FAT32

not always. i had to try 3 different ssd's to find one that can work.

Oh, and before i forget, there is a size limit somewhere that they don't like to talk about. I want to say its somewhere near 250gb. I'm running an 80prs(also ran a 3500avh) with a 120gb ssd, and it takes a good 2 minutes for music to start playing most times.

Uff. Thanks you.

I hope that the avh-z9100 works fine

The drive itself is completely agnostic to the filesystem being put on it... that sounds like a different issue, or user error.

Windows disk management has a limit of 32gb for FAT32 partitions, but you can bypass it quite easily and get up to 2TB partitions. There is a hard ~4gb file size limit on FAT32, but I doubt that's an issue unless you're putting high bit rate video rips on the drive to play in the car.

some of the drives i tried could not be formatted in fat32. my computer did not give me any option for those drives for anything other than NTFS.

How big were they? Did you see the article I shared about how windows disk management has a hard cap of 32gb for FAT32? That's a windows constraint, not an issue with the drive.

Hi

A friend saw me that the avh-z9100dab works with NTFS perfectly. I will to try when have the radio.

Because of the fast rotation of the hard drive, it isn't quiet and vibrates, but it is not so noticeable against the background of other sounds. The hard drive is also more massive than the SSD. It is sensitive to vibration and shock. In general, hard disk recording is an older technology: hard disks are cheaper than SSDs in terms of price per gigabyte. If it burns out, the main advantage of it is that you can recover the data at salvagedata.com. As far as SSDs are concerned, things are very complicated there.
