I keep everything on a 1TB hard drive enclosure plugged into the center USB port.
Bluetooth audio vs. FLAC on a USB drive is no comparison ... flac files are 1000% better quality ... 0% audio compression!!

Yeah, bluetooth is pretty bad audio quality. I can't be bothered to re-rip any of my music files to FLAC, as I originally ripped them in mp3 320 kpbs, which is pretty good, good enough for me. I did do a blind test with myself to see if I could tell the difference between 320 kbps and FLAC, and I couldn't tell the difference, in the ~10 tracks I did on the test. Certainly could tell the difference between 128 kbps mp3s and 320 kbps mp3s, though.
