Are there any capacity restrictions when using a USB flash drive? Would a portable hard drive work?

Hi Ryan A. Madden, This stereo can only accommodate up to 64GB memory of flash drive. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

It's a little bit fatter than the smaller USB drives. If the USB ports are side by side, you should have no problem. If the USB ports are one above the other, you might need a connecting cable for this drive.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

sorry, I haven`t tested that. I will have a USB3 portable hd soon. I'll check it out.

Hey Matt I have used up to 16 gb so far with no problems. I bet you could use any size, as operationally its not different software so good luck! Hope it helps!

Seems to be limited to USB2.0. Also as someone already noticed it doesn't seem to support large external drives. I wasn't able to get either of my 3TB drives to work. All usb thumbdrives worked though.

My experience is you should NOT rely on this memory usb to save your files. I bougth it because the large amount of memory (256 gb) at such a low price. It just NOT true. I suggest not buy it.

I am not sure why you can not copy over 4 GB, for I copied 31 GB until it died on me several weeks later. The only thing I do everytime when I buy a USB drive is to reformat for Mac, Otherwise it may give me problems at time.

it can handle as many TB as you'd like but it's better to use the data than the USB. also very careful when you take out the drives. it's very fragile. hope this helps. cheers

I have had no problems, not close to max storage. I have one for each of my computers, a PC & a laptop.Not sure this helps but it's all I know to say

Hello Justin. The drive is bigger than others but not so much. I can plug it with other devices without any problem.Regards.

I think a portable hard drive is a high capacity hard drive, but a bit larger than memory stick (flash drive), yet MUCH smaller than an external hard drive. An external hard drive is not as portable/small as a portable hard drive. A good example of a portable hard drive would be the Western Digital Passport. No power cable, uses the power from the USB port and holds 120 GB. Its meant more for portability.

Hello. I have tried USB 32 GB as maximum till mow, and it is working fine. No idea either bigger is ok or not.

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.

I don't know why not. It is about 2 Gig. I downloaded it at my cabin and then took it home on a external drive. I had no problems.

From Macally tech support, "...there is no limit on the size of the hard drive you put inside. My product development team says whatever is commercially available on the market should work fine."
