it can read my 500GB HDD, just if you want to watch videos (dixv) you will need a video ipod or burn it on to a cd or dvd.
i currently have a 8GB USB flash stick connected to the usb cable and it reads fine.

All headunits are different. the w502e as said in the manual can read up to maximum of 10 000 songs. It has 10 "banks" each bank containing 1000 songs. Thats how it sorts out the songs.
The thing is that it takes a REALLY long time if you have lots of songs before it shows the titles of them but you can still search through the songs while it uploads to the headunit.
example takes about 3mins 40 seconds to read about 1000 songs
