USB stick capacity

Post by Skips »

Hi there,

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere...but what is the maximum capacity of a usb drive that can be read by a converted gotek? I've got mine installed and working well, but it doesn't seem to read anything more than a 1gb partition, is this right?

Many thanks

There is no size limitation. Just take care to use the FAT32 file system.

Great thank you for confirming. Have now checked and reformatted, several USB sticks and I can confirm that I must have just done something wrong with the first disk, as all read regardless of capacity now..I've formatted all with fat32 and MBR, there's a chance that the first disk was GUID... However, regardless all is good now. Thank you.
