good day to all

I have a denon sc live 2, it has 2 usb 2.0 ports

I would like to know what reading capacity the USB ports handle?

to buy the correct usb

USB sockets don’t have any capacity limitation. They’re just connectors. If there were any limit to the size of storage device you can connect (I assume that’s what you mean) it would be determined by the OS - but as far as I know there isn’t any restriction.

Just don’t get any power-hungry NVME drives and should should be OK. Just know the more music, the larger the database, the slower things like search on device will get.

Perhaps he was referring to the speed of USB 2.0 which is 480 Mbs.

:thinking:

Hmmm I dunno. He’s aware that they’re USB 2.0 (so could Google for transfer rate), and mentions “correct usb” but any current flash drive - assuming that’s what “usb” means - will work at the full capacity of the port.

Or perhaps it’s a question prompted by the “too slow to record” message

If so the usual advice would be

• don’t record to the same drive that you’re playing music from

• only use very well known branded usb sticks

• only buy usb sticks from high street shops and very reputable retailers - to avoid getting counterfeit usb sticks on auction sites and marketplaces

It baffles me that “USB” became common shorthand for “USB Thumb Drive” or “USB Storage”.

This means you buy a “USB” to put your data and plug your “USB” into the USB.

Wait. What?

Talking to folks about this stuff when “USB” means storage is so fun. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Exactly! It can’t just be “a USB” - it has to be a USB something. USB is a standard or specification. It’s not a physical thing. :man_shrugging:
