USB device compatibility list

Most Barix devices feature an extension port for attaching USB 1.1 compatible mass storage devices (hard disks or FLASH disks).

Limitations

The extension port is not fully USB 1.1 compatible and has the following limitations:

  • only the Mass Storage class is supported
  • HUBs are not supported (certain flash disks contain an embedded hub)
  • only the first partition is supported
  • the partition must be formatted as FAT16
  • maximum partition size 4GB

Most of the existing flash disks are supported. However, if you want to make sure that your flash disk is supported buy one from the below list.
