Compatible USB stick: Verbatim Metal Executive USB 2.0
Posted: January 6th, 2019, 2:40 pm
Hey all.
I know finding compatible USB flash drives for the PM5 can be problematic so I wanted to mention one I found at Staples that worked:
Verbatim's "Metal Executive" USB 2.0 in 32GB. (there's a 16GB version too but I haven't tested it)
These seem to run about $5.00 locally, though Amazon wants about double that.
I've found a few old USB sticks in junk drawers that work but of course they're not readily purchasable anymore, and they're so large I'd be concerned about physical damage to the PM5 if they're bumped at all. The Verbatim only protrudes about an inch, which shallower than the PM5 battery compartment.
As an aside: put a text file and/or image of your contact info on the drive so if you accidentally leave it stuck in a gym machine, you stand a chance of getting it back.
