you cant connect a usb hdd yet (hope to see this in a future software update)
if you want something fast then smaller is better. Well, according to the usb document found somewhere on this site...

That's strange... HD or Stick (so flash) should be seen as the same memory device...

No, not at all strange. a HDD requires power and operates differently than a stick.
Not to mention the block sizes and format can be (and often are) quite different.
I guess you guys don't often mount USB mass storage devices in non-Windows environments much...
