Does the receiver also act like a flash drive? What capacity does it have?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. After my review I ended up returning this item.

Hi! The one I have does not have a flash drive. I used to have one that did, but I did not like having to eject it correctly just to remove the receiver. By the way, I have had a LOT of remotes, and this is by far my favorite. Like the feel, great laser, and, perhaps most important, it uses AA batteries instead of some hard to find disc batteries. Now if they would just put a sliding on-off switch somewhere. I pull the batteries when I am done so that it does not drain in my briefcase if a button is pushed.

Unfortunately, No, it does not have a flash drive capacity. USB fob is just a radio transceiver for the controller. Does work well through and green laser is very bright. We could even see the laser on a LCD TV Screen, though it was considerably dimmer.

The USB receiver does stick out while using on a laptop. It is much more pronounced than most slim receivers. I have not found it to be an issue while using on a laptop.

No it doesn't. It is like a USB flash drive. It comes ready to use n store information.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info

It will read a flash drive as big as 8 GB. It will not read 16 or more disregarding the formatting of it.

Yes, it does have that capability, although I haven't used either one of them. I have always been in a hurry when I used it and just transferred the files via the SD card.

It should work either way. I even used a 64gb flash usb drive for a little while when my hard drive burnt up.

It works as a large drive. I don't have the continued experience of the drive speeding up. But it works!

No, It comes with its own usb "chuck". It does not and can not work with the unifying receiver.

The device comes with a FAT32 partition, which is quite limited but very compatible.I repartitioned my USB Flash drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and so files on it can be as large as the device.

It does work with my flash drive, but I've never tried an external hard drive. I'm not sure how it would handle a hard drive with other types of files on it.

It does, it's a mini and its hidden behind a little door located on the bottom right of the radio. I bought an adaptor for it and I'm now able to use a regular USB drive. Hope this helped

I can confirm 16 gb works. I have not tried larger, as it becomes a moot point. This unit does not support search/browse by folder from flash drive. So if you plan on using more than a couple of folders (which I would presume you would for a drive that size) move on and get a better unit. I very much regret choosing this one.

You can also get flash drives with a micro usb port interface. I have one and it works perfectly with this unit.

Yes, the flashdrive itself works fine! Just be aware that it is NOT the genuine item, is a slightly different toy, and does not come with the programming that the original does, but for just something to move files around on it works great.
