I haven’t read the entire thread on this issue so if I missed this, my bad. Is it possible to get this list of acceptable devices as a spreadsheet file rather than PDF so it can be sorted by manufacturer or any other parameter.
Thanks, Phil
in the very first post is a link
All I am seeing is a PDF of a spreadsheet file.
Phil
From one of first posts:
That is still not a spreadsheet file, only an HTML. Not a problem any longer I just printed it out, grabbed a magnifier and perused the listing.
Thanks, Phil
on my computer all these files are spreadsheets in Google Doc, to convert these to .xls is easy
Thanks, I was not familiar with google doc before.

I can confirm that the 250gb Samsung T5 SSD has worked perfectly with over many hours of multitrack (16 tracks) recording.
Your Samsung T5 Ssd work in live recording under high sound levels?
Because some mates says that floor noise interrupt the signal!!!
Einstein,
Yes, I’ve used about 8 times times to record my band’s live and very loud rehearsals. I have had zero problems multitrack recording with the T5 SSD. While there is a lot of vibration and sound pressure and the mixer is right next to loud amps, it may help that I have the QU-16 rackmounted and the T5 in its padded case while recording. It it was all just sitting on a lightweight table, it most likely would be vibrating a lot.
Hi everyone.
I have just bought a Sandisk Cruzer Force 32GB as recommended. It reads it but asks to Format it. It Sticks on Formatting at 0%.
I’ve spent about £60 on USB drives now and they all do the same thing. Please help
Who recommends you the Sandisk Cruzer Force? The correct USD drive is the Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 SDCZ80 series ( at least the older version ), I have 4 of them and they work flawless.
It’s on the Qu-Drive Compatibility Chart. Number 176
Dylan, format it on your computer first. Then format it on your console. That might fix your issue.
The Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 SDCZ80 series I bought recently was DOA. I formatted it in my QuPac, tried a multi-track recording, had had over a 1000 errors (2 hour graduation). No matter what I did, I couldn’t access files the files or reformat the drive over multiple computers. I returned the drive to SanDisk and they replaced for free (online form to get the ball rolling).
Format on Pc, but still wouldn’t format on desk.
I’ve thrown it in the bin!
Spent £97 on a SanDisk 250 GB Extreme 500. works perfectly after formatting
I bought the following pendrive:
Transcend 32GB JetFlash 710 USB 3.0 Flash Drive
It works almost ok, for stereo recordings, not good. It jumps every now and then!!!
i see the issue more with the USB-port of the QU-drive itself. the OS does not refresh once a faulty stick was inserted, it freezes. there is working device listener implemented or the port is degrading quickly.
the USB-stick i used did work for 1,5 years and then all of a sudden quit working. still works on the PC but cannot be formatted in any way to not make the formatting or USB-drive management freeze.
Sandisk Extreme 64, USB3.0. - has worked for the longest time incl Multitrack Recording. stopped working… what now?
Have Allen-Heath made any sort of response to this issue? I mean, as many on this thread have noted: the QuDrive port is essentially useless, if you can’t rely on it; and it is obviously not possible to purchase a device that is known to work (because new devices come out and old ones get obsoleted).
Every modern computer, even cheap ones, can read and write to 99% of USB devices flawlessly. Even hobby Arduino devices have no problem. It’s just not that tricky a technology. I could understand if slower devices crapped out with multitrack recording, but the Qu16 can’t even reliably recognize or format a brand new top of the line USB drive unless it is one of the magic blessed few. Imagine if the mixer failed to recognize all but a few power amps, or all but a few microphones? A&H simply don’t seem to be able to engineer it; maybe they don’t have the right engineers on the task.
A&H are really ducking their responsibility here. They need to either get a working USB port, or stop advertising that their devices support USB. I’m seriously considering returning this board, even though I like it in all other regards.
Hello, A&H, are you listening? I’d like to like your products…
