my truck?
I've got around 180GB of music I want to bring with me.
I've tried using a regular netbook, which I found was difficult to navigate without a touchscreen and the netbook sitting on the seat.
iPod classic prices are absurd, the last classic I bought died.
I thought about getting a large capacity SD card for my phone, but the price of a high capacity SD card is extreme and I don't know if my Note 3 can support 128GB or 256GB sd cards, and the price on them is rather high.
I thought about buying a tablet that has a USB port and using an external HDD, but it seems the tablets that have USB ports don't have fast enough hardware.
I thought about building a carputer, which I have all of the parts I need except an expensive touch screen.
I thought about buying a touchscreen netbook, but unless it's one of the new tablet/laptop combos, it seems unrealistic to use and those are very expensive..
Is there some obvious option I'm missing here?
I currently have an 8GB iPod touch and it's just not enough.. but I love how I can control the iPod from my headunit controls, and the sound quality is excellent over USB.
Headunit is Pioneer DEH-6200bt.
Let me know if I missed anything important..
Help is greatly appreciated.
Why don't you get a deck that has a USB port?
Mine was $80, has no CD player but has 2 aux ports, Bluetooth capable, and a USB port
You can get micro flash drives in 128gb, while a larger flash drive is possible, these only stick out about 1/3rd of an inch

I found the best way is to install a nas unit in the trunk. I have 9TB of space I can use.
Sounds great except that NAS has hard drives, hard drives have moving parts and are extremely delicate, and roads aren't ever perfectly flat, your setup may work, but you are going to ruin the expected life of those drives and risk losing all your data
Not to mention that any bump you feel in the front of your car, is going to be 10x in the trunk, since the trunk is over or behind the rear wheels, and not in the center your wheelbase
