I would think that if it works on a flash drive, it would be preferable to a hard drive for 2 reasons:

1) Reliability. I've never had a flash drive fail, and I've had many a hard drive bite the dust

2) Portability. (No need to elaborate).

The main difference to me would be load time for an intense Real Track song between the USB flash drive and a USB hard drive. It seems to me the slowest like would be the USB speed itself.

Has anyone done a comparison?
