I do not think there is a limit here, but just remember that,
because the interface is usb and because the drive is mechanical,
access is MUCH slower than on a thumb drive, and even slower
still than a cf card. If access speedis no concern than go for
it, but if you want to browse a lot of files without waiting
around a while than a couple cf cards may be the way to go. Out
course a hard drive is good for long-term backup since it will
not be carted throughywhere and subjected to the ware that flash
cardsusually are, but just know that a usb hard drive is very
slow on a bn.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] External Harddrives
One option for extra space is an external USB harddrive. I have
one, but I cannot get it to work with the bn because it seems to
require both USB ports, and I busted one of my USB ports by
accident a while back. The external harddrives can have a limit.
I do not know if there is a limit to the size that can be used
with the bn, but the largest one of which I have heard is one
tera (1000 giga) bytes.
