Help Choosing External Storage?

[Mr. Raven's Fjord]

Hey everyone. I recently acquired this cable: https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51045

Now, I only have two usb stick (8, and 16gb) neither of which work. My first intention was to put all of wikipedia on one flash drive (wikipedia is about 14.8 gb) so I could have everything on a portable screen. My second intention was to get an external hard drive (large capacity for movies on the HDTV), but there is a looot of misconception of what kind of drives work (NFTS, USB powered, etc) so I would love someone to spell out two things: What sixteen gigabyte usb drives are confirmed to work, and what sort of hard drive would the community recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Please tell us: what Gen8 device do you have?

You could put it in your Sig like I have done with my Archos devices.

I can't answer your question w/o you answering mine first.

Thanks,

Allen

Ah, sounds like a good idea. I am a proud owner of an Archos 43 IT. I would appreciate any help, kind sir.
