Is there any benefit to get a USB thumb drive larger than 2GB? I figured I could get a 4GB for not much more if it would be beneficial.
Thanks

Only get the size you need. For installation you will not need anything larger than 2Gb.

OpenELEC: AMD Athlon X4 | NVidia GT430 | 2x2Gb RAM | Gigabyte MoBo | Antec Case & PSU
FreeNAS: 4x1TB RAIDZ (additional 4x2TB soon)
Supporting Services: SABnzbd+, Couch Potato, Sick Beard on FreeNAS
Home Theater: Panasonic VT25 | Yamaha RX667 | Panasonic 3D BluRay | Harmon Kardon 5.1 | Harmony One (my config guide)
