Just did the 2024.39.01 update and my mix matched card reader with mini SD 512gb card is no longer being seen by the Rivian. Tested it in my laptop and it works fine.

Since other people have had drives stop working with the updates, do we have an new list of working drives or memory sticks? I was thinking of getting the Hynix Tube 1gb SSD with USB-A to USB-C short extension cable.

My R1S randomly had a pop-up showing that the once-working Samsung USB drive needed formatting. After the 2024.39.01 update, I replaced the smaller drive with a Kingston 1 TB $90 drive. From online reviews, it seemed to have the fastest write speed and was the largest drive I could find. Maybe it was a bad drive or lose connection, but now I can record for months :)

Tiny, and good speeds. Plus, according to Samsung:
It's waterproof, shock-proof, magnet-proof, temperature-proof, and X-ray-proof body, plus it's backed by a 5-year limited warranty

The only issues I have had are with the car software itself, occasionally it would say the drive needed to be formatted, but an infotainment reset resolved the issue.

So went ahead and bought the Hynix Tube 1Tb SSD stick, along with a rubberized USB-A female to USB-C male 4" long extension cable. I think the flexible cabe is must, becaues of the awkward angle of the USB ports and how any normal stick would be in the way. I then velcroed the SSD stick to the inside of the center console, and ran the short cord to one of the USB - C outlets. Works like a charm and this SSD is rated very high for read/ write speeds and was pretty reasonable at $67 for a 1Tb storage device.

So add this one to the list of working Rivian dashcam drives.

r1t white, locked tonneau in open position...
mine was working for months, now after the update drivecam was off, tried turning it on and it says "cannot connect to drive". I'm using a USB adapter with micro USB drive. Does not say too slow just cannot connect.

I got the same message as you with this update. On the previous update 2024.35.xx is when I got the message that my drive was too slow. I got around this by editing the log file from the words **too slow** to ** Ready **. This worked great until the latest update, so I just decided to bite the bullet and try a faster SSD stick type drive. I can use the card reader / microSD card to backup documents at work.

This is crazy - I have the same problem, all was great before 2024.39.01. Now it does not recognize my drive (Samsung SSD, 256GB). Just never-ending bugs. Neither hard / soft resets helped.

Still rocking one of these little thumbnail-sized Samsung drives:

Recently upgraded from 256GB to 512GB. No issues. Only one time (with the previous model) did a software update turn DriveCam off. Toggled it back on again and worked fine.

ICE only :(
The last software update seems to have rendered my setup nonworking. I have an Anker SD card reader with a microSD card. It’s been working since the drive cam was first available. I noticed this week that it was recording when I honked my horn anymore. Went to the settings, and it shows no drive connected. Tried to redo drive setup, but it just says it’s cannot talk to the drive when I connect it.
