I'm not sure how big a hard drive, I do know that you can only go up to 999 songs in 999 folders. It cannot go higher, it won't display. I would assume that requires a pretty big hard drive.

Hi I have used 8GB Thumb drives on this unti with no problems. I cannot speak on external HD on each side for I have not utilized that function. I can say I have used an 1.5 TB external on the Mixed Quad once again with no issues. Hope this helps and Happy Mixing.

Most USB devices are formatted FAT32 which only allows 2^32-1 bytes of data (4GB roughly speaking).To overcome this you'd have to format it in a file system that allows larger than 4GB files (like NTFS) or put the file into a spanning compressed file.

I may be mistaken, but windows will either not allow or not recognize partitions on a thumb drive. There may be 3rd party software to trick it, or circumvent this.If I am mistaken please do let me know.

Yes, all USB3.0 flash drives are backwards compatible with 2,0 USB slots. Just with the slower speed.

It doesnt have room for internal drives, just external ones, via USB.By default I would recomend to format the drive with extFAT, for compatibility, FAT32 gives too much restrictions for HD video, and NTFS would give you problems with other devices.

10 4tb HDDs....that is some heavy editing. The iDsonix USB 3 has 10 powered ports and an 11th port for ONLY charging, but you can read that in the description. I like that you can turn off each "set of three ports" with their individual on/off switch. I connect three 1TB HDDs and the other seven are used for misc. things. Powered wireless mouse, 2 usb to micro usb (not powered). I can't say that 100% of the time all ports are in use. I love mine and I'd suggest you try it. If it doesn't handle your load Amazon with take it back.Good luck

As far as I have researched this item, I'm pretty sure you can use a 8gb pendrive, as long as the connectors fit. If not, you can always buy an adapter. I have a new one, fixing to list! Check it out!

you could, but it would be a waste I think the xbox 360 has usb 2.0 ports, so you will not see any increase in speed over using a cheaper usb 2.0 thumb drive also, the maximum usable size that an xbox will use is much smaller, maybe 16gb, so the extra space will never be used edit: I just looked it up, in 2012 they increased the size limit to 32gb, it was 16gb before that you should be able to get a 16gb usb2.0 thumb drive for around $8 I just got a lexar 32gb usb 2.0 for 12.48 in a boxing week sale

I checked three of my Flash Drives for you. 1) I have a couple of 64Gb Sandisks: Each showed about 59.5GB Free space. 2) A 128Gb Corsair Survivor: Showed about 119Gb Free Space. 3) A 256Gb Corsair Survivor: Showed about 138GB Free Space. The percentages all seemed to be about the same--- I use NTFS on the Corsairs and Ex-FAT on the Sandisk.

I use Cruzer Glide 16GB USB thumb drives in mine. I use a Windows 7 PC to put Mp3 files on the drive.

USB 3.0 and let me add I love this drive. Very durable, fast speeds, etc. I am on my second one, and customer service was very nice, but still.. Stinks to have a drive fail

Allan gave you the right answer. If you want to add more space with the least amount of hastle then just use the USB 3 port.

You can simply put the movies on a usb thumb drive. There's two (2) full sized usb 3.0 slots on the side. Just be sure to use the smaller ones, as they barely stick out of the side, if you're worried about damage to the stick.

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.

Generally, you can only use a 2 TB or smaller USB drive that hasn't been reformatted. Here are the limits as I know them: 1) Only FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32, and an old version of NTFS are supported. 2) Intel GUID Partition Table (GPT) and Linux ext3 formats are not supported. So it must be a WinXP-or-below PC-formatted drive, not Mac or Linux, and not a modern NTFS, which uses dynamic or GPT partitioning. 3) Because GPT volumes are not supported, 2TB is the max volume/partition size. 4) Maximum file sizes are as follows: FAT: 2 GB. FAT32: 4 GB. WinXP NTFS: Volume Size. So, you will have trouble storing some HD movie or TV shows if you are using a FAT-formatted volume. To create the old-style NTFS format, you will need a Win XP or 2000 computer. 5) You are limited to using the first 8 volumes/partitions on the drive. 6) The drive cannot be encrypted. 7) If the drive is powered off the USB port on the router, then it cannot draw more than 500mA.

The largest USB flash drive you can use is 64GB (Sony), otherwise I would stick with a 32GB.
