USB port question

Is there a size hard drive limitation USB port in Acura'TL 10 can connect to? I have several 8G flash drives, one WD 320 GB and 500 GB drives. I wounder if 320 or 500 would work. Thank you.

I'm not sure if anyone has tried USB hard drives of that size before, but an 8gb drive should work fine.

Don't think there's a size limit but most portable hard drives aren't rugged against vibration and shock from a moving car. I'd stick with solid-state devices, flash drives.

As long as the drive is formatted with the FAT or FAT32 files system, it should work.

It should work, but i agree with ELI. The bumps may shorten the lifespan of that hard disc drive. Personally, I got a 16gb flash drive and it works great.
