The iPad will ony read photos or videos that way. I've gotten it to read up to a 32 gig card and have had some mixed luck on usb drives - some work some don't. (the key seems to be to avoid some like SanDisk or Kingston with hardware that comes bundled on the drive or ones with big LED lights that trigger the 'takes too much power' warning)
