I have a Humax satellite receiver with the ability to record programmes (with an external storage connected via a USB slot). What was surprising when I read the manual is it said that only USB hard drives can be used and USB flash drives will not work.

Although it is able to read the contents of flash drives and view any media they contain, it will not write, why is that? What is the hardware/software difference in writing to these different devices?

Flash drives have a "removable bit" that differentiates them from USB hard drives. Here is a more detailed answer.
