Oppo BD-95 file capability

I am considering upgrading to the Oppo BD -95. I read that it will play files directly via its USB or eSata inputs. This brings up two questions. First, how large of a drive is it limited to, i.e. will it only play files on a small memory stick or can I attach, say, a 500 GB portable hard drive. Next, is there any limitation to the type of file it will play this way, i.e. can it play 24/96 and 24/192 files.

Thanks

You can attach any size drive to the oppo as long as it is either FAT32 or NTFS formatted. I have a 2T drive attached and it reads without any problem.
Be careful about going any larger than that. Drives that are larger than 2.19TB use a different kind of partition table than is provided in the Master Boot Record that is traditionally used, namely the GUID Partition Table. I would not assume that the BDP95's operating system can deal with that, without confirmation from Oppo.
