Team-BHP - View Single Post - USB head units destroy pen drives (due to heat?)

I think the HU is supply >5V to the pen drive instead of the standard 5V output supply on the USB port. I have seen this issue with one of the DVD players and I guess it is the same issue with this HU as well.

I personally use a pen drive with my PC as a ReadyBoost cache and the pen drive is working absolutely fine. I am sure the data rates associated with the Readyboost cache would be much higher than streaming audio.
