Default External Hard Drive?

Is anyone out there running an external hard drive in their vehicle? My Pioneer 6900 has a USB cable and I was wondering if one would be capatable with it. If you have one please tell me about it. Like how you have it set up, how much it cost you, and things like that.

I bought a 60 gig USB flash drive ....It'll store a ton of MP3's
Hard drives do NOT like constant bouncing and jarring ...I used to use my Compaq laptop till I roached three hard drives ...
I do run a panasonic tough book for fuel management I'm using a panasonic tough book it's held up so far but not run constantly

About how much did that flash drive run you? I probably wouldn't need anything any bigger than a 5 gig.

When I was in China I bought it at an outdoor market for like $60 ... I've seen them at Tigerdirect and newegg for like $120

Well, I can't say that I'll be in China anytime soon. Would they have them at Circuit City, Best Buy, or places like that?
