One thing to remember: The USB port on the back of the receiver is located very close to the heatsink for the main chip. This allows the tip of the USB stick to get hot-around 130 degrees hot if you leave the USB connected for several hours. This has not hurt any of my USB drives or devices but you may want to get an USB extension cord and plug it into the receiver. Doing this will keep your USB drive cooler and it will also prevent you from removing an USB drive with a hot tip!!! EB
