If you have a USB drive which works then why not just use it and not worry about trying every other drive you may have. 4Gb should be plenty big enough even for the biggest audio book and certainly plenty big enough for text based books.

From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, January 5, 2020 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: External drives and iPhones, was about Document 7 That’s a good idea, those who use drives of any sort successfully with an iPhone should specify the exact make and model as well as exactly which adapter they use. As I said, on my iPhone 8 even my at least 3 or 4 year old Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 drive with an 8Gb capacity is giving me the message that it requires too much power. Why a less than 32Gb drive should require less power than a 64Gb or 128Gb to me makes no sense and “thumb drive” or “flashdrive” is semantics because both use solid stage storage technology and the word “thumb drive” I think strictly refers to what traditionally was a drive about the size of a thumb. Of course nowadays you can get drives in all sorts of shapes from hearts to bullets and some more traditional ones which are half the size of your pinky finger so maybe we should call them “half pinky drives”.

I would appreciate it if people would say exactly what kind of, and size of, a drive they are talking about. When I read "Thumb Drive" I'm thinking less than 32 GB. When I read "Flash Drive" that could be several gigabytes. I would be shocked if any iPhone could handle a multi-gigabyte drive. But nothing will be cleared up unless folks are specific about the drives they use successfully, or fail to be able to use.
