mrwigglezdj Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 well im upgrading my old kenwood deck in my van up to a pioneer deh 6900 with the usb input, and i seen that its able to operate a usb device like a flash drive/hard drive, anyone have any recommendations as to which portable hard drive to get?. i will be building a mounting location for the hard drive to rest when i have it in the van so its not just siting somewhere in the way ect. but is there one thats more durable than another or are they all built on the same shock design? i know the bigger the Hd the more it can hold, but i dont see myself useing anything more than 20-30gigs of hd space and that would take some time to fill up and size of the unit doesnt matter much as long as its usb conection i dont thing the usb 2.0 will work tho Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MegaloManiac Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) harddrives have plators(inside) where it writes to. hard drives require "booting up"(spinning up) otherwise if not properly bootdown you wil increase chance of getting sector errors. flash drives use chips where it writes to like your memory in your computer or in a cellphone. u can hotswap with these.

mrwigglezdj Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 well that makes scense, lookd up sizes of the flash drives and it doenst seem to be a worth while thing to do, i dont see the use in 1gb to 4gb flash drive.... sucks because i was in the shop and some kid came in with his laptop and they connected a cord to it (like a 3.5mm plug) and played his laptop thru the radio, but i see how since it was playing via the computer and not stand alone like i was wanting to do , so i guess that really kills that idea i had for a few days Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
