Setting Up Rivian Gearguard Drivecam with New USB Drive

[Rivian Blue]

While trying to find a workable USB drive for my gear guard, I have wasted a couple hundred dollars already. Finally, I consulted my a tech friend for guidance. He informed me that only flash drives with a certain processing speed would be compatible. He also explained that some solid state drives would work, but be destroyed by the way they have to process the files to play them back.

Here is what I bought per his specs. It connected, formatted, and worked the first time, and has been great and fast so far. Rivian should have included this equipment, or provided much more guidance, as it seems a bit too technical for an average customer. I bought an angular plug and an adapter with a short cable as well, so it can lay out of the way. It is a nice feature when you get it working.
