Also, for reasons unknown, the car seems to digest certain brands faster. In my case from faster to slower, all "microthumb" 128 GB USB 3.0, NTFS with identical contents, about 2000 flac music files and some 50 videos in various fomats:

- Samsung
- Sandisk
- Lexar
Good point, I only use ultra fast USB3 sticks(I hate waiting). A very large slow device will take quite some time for the system to process.

The Corsair 256GB Flash Voyager Gs is very fast. Also the Patriot 128GB Supersonic Magnum Series works great. I have about 95GB's of flac over 3000 individual songs, the X5 processes changes quickly.

For the rear USB I'm using SanDisk 128GB Ultra Fit USB 3.0.(so the kids don't kick it getting in and out of the car). It's working very well albeit for movies not music so not nearly as many files. But I believe it wouldn't matter.
