[QUOTE="brad1011a, post: 2789054, member: 575111"] Well I have experince with Blaupunkt, and they support the 80GB Lacie 'by Porsche' hard drive. Some retailers in the UK sell the HU and drive as a package. I'm using the 40GB version, and the 60 works too. I've been participating in the UK's TalkAudio forum where there seems to be more interest in USB. So far people there have been using the same drives with the older Kenwoods, but with the drive's supplemental power (via a car USB charger which can be hard wired). I'm not sure if the new units can power them alone. The USB spec. is for 5V at .5A. Most larger drives need more current, so using the supplemental power is required as long as the drive is otherwise compatible. The Lacie drive: (corrected) [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154132"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154132[/URL] My HU (which I don't really recommend): [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J4OsolKNeOd/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=023MEMMP66"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J4OsolKNeOd/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=023MEMMP66[/URL] The Kenwood (I'm waiting for the 991): [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J4OsolKNeOd/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=113KDCX891"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J4OsolKNeOd/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=113KDCX891[/URL] [/QUOTE]
