2021 GLE450W4 SUV
Largest Capacity USB-C Drive

Hi,

What is the largest capacity USB-C thumb drive that will work for the Mercedes integrated dash cam and/or media storage? Which format(s) work? I have a 2021 GLE450 SUV.

I've seen anywhere from 64GB to 1TB capacity and FAT32 format. The owner's manual is incredibly lacking for this topic.

thanks.

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
I don't know what the largest size is, but my 1TB drive works fine.

Web cam?

As in a web cam for your PC or are you referring to a Drive recorder/ Dash Camera for your car?

MB Customer Support just responded to me: "The USB we recommend is required to be 32GB, it is a FAT32 file system, and NFTS is not supported."

I''ve used.a 64GB FAT-32 for a year. Amazing.

If it's like my phone, it just won't access more than the 32GB.

I use a 256 GB SanDisk. All of it is utilized (not just 32 GB).

BIgger is better because the Mercedes dashcam software does not overwrite files. Recording (in the US) also does not autostart. And the video quality is pitiful. Overall, disappointing.
