[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8697570, member: 675210"] A head unit that only recognizes FAT32 is going to have limitations on individual file size, number of folder and sub folders and or as well as how big of a storage device it will recognize. A head unit that will also recognize NTFS will have no real limitation to speak of in these respects. Your head unit will do FAT32 at most per the user manual. It is also USB 2.0 @ 1.5amp. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible so that should not be a cause for concern. The list below is what a Windows computer will recognize... a car stereo head unit may be the same or they may choose to limit it further. If you are wanting to stick with your head unit, find an external, usb SSD that will function on 1.5a or less and only partition it to have 1 partition. Your head unit states it will only play the first partition. Some new SSD's will have a factory partition... this may prevent your head unit from being able to see the music. Do a FULL (not quick) format and remove ALL partitions, reformat to fat32 and it should work.
