Can use up to a 250g

Depending on brand of hard drive, you might need to run separate power supply.

Data, is fast with the deck.

Hope this helps.

Just make sure you get one that derives its power from the usb drive and has shock absorbers..OR putting in your glovebox with a lot of padding would work to. Personally I think having a external in a car is overkill unless you have a DVD player. I got a 8 gig thumb drive and only have 2 gigs of it used...which is 150ish songs.
