Anything greater then 16 GB will work now. Some people have had problems with certain brands but I have a cheap Scandisk 32 GB thumb drive that works fine and is simpler then a usb hard drive. If you want more storage you can go bigger.

Thank you.
I know, for instance, drone manufacturers recommend a certain SD card so I was thinking maybe this would follow suit is why I asked the question.

The drone issue may be related to the speed of the card so specifying certain brands/models help minimize support issues. Arlo uses USB2.x so there's really no need for anything "out there" although certain low-end drives could be an issue if the write speed is too slow. That can be checked on a computer by copying files to the drive and monitoring the speed. I'd say at least 5 megabytes per second should be plenty.

Exactly. If the recording speed of the card was not up to snuff for the drone it wouldn't work. I thought maybe the same applied here as well for the Pro 3 cams. Thanks for the heads up.
