sshams95 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I would not recommend using hdd, for three reasons. 1. They are too susceptible to damage from vibration or bouncing around 2. Power consumption is about 3 times that of ssd 3. Startup and read times are faster on ssd. If you are going to use large ssd, format ntfs, fat is limited to <100 gb, and 4 gb per file. Pioneer's limit is 4gb per file, 1500 folders,15000 files, movies have time limit also. Â I believe Pioneer's 4gb/file only applies to video files...not audio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Could be, can't imagine a song being 4 gb. Maybe a whole album as one file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shackleton Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Great price on the U260 Ouch on the camera I got and integrated license plate camera for $55 shipped works great looks great. Please post a review of the U260. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 120Gb SSD works fine on my 4000-NEX. Â NTFS formatted, USB3 enclosure (so it can take power off the USB cable, which many USB2 enclosures cannot.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spankey Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just want to confirm that the NEX units can read NTFS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nex can read ntfs, fat16,fat32 and that is it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Correct. Â They will NOT read exFAT (e.g. SDXC cards) Â NTFS works fine; I'm using it on my 4000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duaneellison Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hmm, I don't it's now as large as a hard drive or fast as an SSD but what about using a 160gb iPod Classic? Wouldn't that index correctly with the tracks and show album art? The manual says it's supported and it might be a cleaner implementation. Well minus videos I guess but for music that should work... I wish I had one to try... Â The track sorting alphabetically instead of in order is annoying... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I suppose if you don't mind paying double (or more) for the same thing it's fine. Â A new 120GB SSD is under $100 and a portable enclosure for it is about $20 or so. That has no moving parts, consumes near-zero power and is a general-purpose storage device. Â It also works great and is MUCH faster than the head unit will ever be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Cheapest price on iPod 160 gb on ebay 249.00, intel 320 series 600 gb on ebay 259.00 or best offer. tickerguy is spot on. My opinion about storage units for mobile use takes into account these things. 1. first of all reliability, a spinning hard drive, needs to be kept as stable as possible while it is in operation, bouncing around in my console or glove compartment would kill it. this is why ssd's are geared towards laptops more than anything. hence their size 2.5. 2. power consumption, 3. speed, not so much in this case, head unit reading at usb speed, not sata III. 4. price per gb, in this case more comparing ssd to iPod. since hdd is not an option for me.

tickerguy Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Tracks sort correctly assuming they have numbers starting their filenames if you use the folder view. Â What breaks in THAT situation is the folder name sort (and at the top level artist sort), which is just plain fooking stupid. Â It's particularly stupid because we know there's a quicksort (or similar) call in the code at the FILE level, since it plays the tracks in order if you're in folder mode! Â Therefore, one call to the same thing when displaying the FOLDER list and.... Â Yeah, it's that dumb. Â That's one of the reasons I want (badly!) a dump of the firmware and the ability to load updates. Â If I have to I will disassemble and hand-patch the disassembled .SMALI code to fix that. Â Whoever is the programmer responsible for that at Pioneer ought to be deep-sixed on a permanent basis in the programming community. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightz39 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I love all the options we have to add storage for this thing. I myself however just use itunes match ($30 a year) and my iphone. All 20,000+ songs right there whenever I need them without taking up space on my phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
