Below is a list of flash drives that have been confirmed to work on the Apple TV with aTV Flash. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and is only meant to act as a reference for those looking to purchase a drive for use with aTV Flash.

Apacer Handy Steno 2GB

HP V100W 2GB

Imation 2GB

iPod Shuffle (1GB)

Memorex 1GB TravelDrive

Memorex 2GB TravelDrive

PNY Attache 2GB

PQI Intelligent Drive 2GB

SanDisk 1GB Cruzer

SanDisk 2GB Cruzer

SanDisk 4GB Cruzer

Sony Micro Vault 1GB

Transcend JFV30 1GB

Transcend JF110 2GB

If the drive has U3 installed, it must be removed prior to installing aTV Flash.

Most U3 smart drives come with an uninstall utility that converts the U3 smart drive into a regular USB flash drive. This utility can be accessed from the U3 Launchpad. Open the U3 Launchpad and click on Settings, then select U3 Launchpad Settings and click on the Uninstall tab. Some devices have a link to the Uninstall utility under Help and Support.

If you can not find the uninstall utility on your U3 smart drive you can download it from the following locations:

Mac U3 Removal

I got an orange colored 512MB one from Office Depot for $7. It was branded with the Office Depot name. Purchased it June 2008 in NC.

2GB Sandisk Cruzer 'colors+' is OK
