external solid state USB drive

[DeltaYankee6]

Hi

First post here, and only just got my z2.
All good so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

My question:
Anyone here able to help re USB solid state drives for storage and backup?
Just want to know if there's a maximum size that's supported and if some makes are good/bad with the z2.
I believe they need to be fat32 (yes?)

Thanks

Thanks Alexdon
It certainly answers the question about file system.
Can you help re max drive size supported, and known good make/model?

I really cannot say a max size,I have read about people using 1 TB HDD,really do not know about SSD.You could look for Seagate,Toshiba etc.

[DeltaYankee6]

I reckon 1TB should be enough, and a well know make is always a good idea I guess.
Thanks!

Yes,true about that.You are sure of some quality after all.You should contact xperia care and gather more info about the size of the SSD supported:
