So for instance would 1Tb be the equivalent of double the speed of 500Gb?
Your HDD space is like your hashrate, so as much as you're willing to use.
Exactly.
Will the miner be able to use USB connected HDD?
USB3 ones are fine, I've tried them on the testnet. I'm guessing USB2 might not have a high enough transfer speed, but I haven't testing one.
dev , I am using USB3.0 disk,,, Is that ok just connecting the USB3.0 disk to the comupter??? will the usb devices automaticlly be used???
Just put the miner folder on the external hdd and run it from there. The miner always writes in the plots folder in its own directory.
Every time I try to open the batch file it closes right away. I have tried to use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java as was suggested but it doesn't work. I have java 7 installed and updated. I've tried on C and D drives and I think I would need to have it on the D drive that I want to use, but I'm not sure about that. My sdd C drive is nearly full so am I correct in thinking I need to launch the program from the D drive? thanks if you can get me going would be appreciated
Try running the bat file from a command prompt to see what the error is. Also, which bat file, since the dumpaddr one is just supposed to disappear.
Does this mean I am mining?

but I can't find any coin at my wallet balance. what's the matter??
You need to run the mine file also. The generator is for making plots which are used to mine.
