How many times can you write to the USB?

USBs don't have a limit on the number of times they can be written to...

Perfect
Thanks

It wasn't your question and I don't know if our cars support them or not, but just for loading music on I'd recommend grabbing a USB 3 stick (blue). Makes the copying process a lot quicker!

I bought this last year
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruz...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZKDNZ36N2QFQQDRVPS5Q

Tested using dd and hdparm in Linux.
Write - 7.6 MB/s
Read - 25.8 MB/s
Okay it's slow.
But I've been doing a lot of writing lately and I thought there was a limit.

I don't know if the 2016 supports the 3.0?

Well there is a theoretical limit, but it's more likely you'll lose or damage the drive before reaching that. And if it was the one you just linked specifically, it's a USB 2.0, not 3.0. The easiest way to tell is by looking at the plug part, if the bottom is blue then it is usually a 3.0.

If you want to stick with Sandisk, grab one of these.

2.0 compatible is perfect. It's 22mm long which might put it in the way though.

who uses linux?

I have some friends that would ask, "why get a fast or even a 2-door car? Whats the point of over 200 hp? Isn't tracking and racing a high cost to play investment with little to no return for most participants? Arent sports cars usually a bad investment except for a few rare exceptions?"

Because its fun damnit!!

Many Linux users are the hobbiests of the computing world. Its full of open source and free software on a free OS. Easy to develop on and has a really knowledgable community.

The real question is why the hell are there still people that use XP???

3.0 Type A is the same as what you've got, just look for something the same size (should be lots of options because they reused shells), Type C is what you don't want in your car!

How many times can you write to the USB?

you can go through at least 100,000 Program/Erase cycles on each block before they begin to deteriorate. Some are built to reach 1,000,000 or more.
