1. What format does the drive need to be to be read by the MOJO?
At the time of this writing: Hard drives need to be NTSC. They are mounted as READ ONLY, so you will not be able to save files. Bummer.
2. Same question, except for a 64GB MicroSDXC format...?
At the time of this writing: microSD must be formatted as FAT32 with 32K cluster size. They need to be set as a PRIMARY drive rather than LOGICAL.
1. NTFS or FAT32 usb 2.0 HDs work. I've tried USB 3.0 HDs and so far those haven't worked
2. I havn't tested a 64gig micro sd but most Android devices only recognize up to 32GB sd cards.
I've got a 64GB in my A700 and it works fine as FAT32. The CM ROMS have issue with it, however. Also, according to the MadCatz website: "For those of you who need more, there’s a microSD flash slot to accommodate SDXC cards up to 128GB!"
What format is your MicroSD?

I'm using a 64gb micro sd, format FAT. Works great.
Try exFat. It's the "standard" format for SDXC type cards and unlike Fat32 you're not limited to files less than 4 gigs in size. It's the format i use on my Galaxy Note 10.1 (last year's model). It should come in exFat anyway.
Or the simplest solution would be to rip open the packaging, stick it in the MOJO and if it tells you it needs to be formatted format it. That way it's in whatever format the MOJO prefers and your pc/laptop in all likelihood will recognise the format.
Also I'm guessing you're just going to leave it in there most of the time. To avoid card readers and sync cables I normally use FTPServer on my phone and tablet and the filezilla client on the pc, and to transfer stuff to the network drive I use the android ftp client andftp (there are file explorers like ES Explorer which can handle samba connections and FTP connections but I find they're a bit slower).
Avoid NTFS on flash media. From what I've been told it uses too many read/writes which isbad for flash media due to their limited write cycles.
Yeah, I didn't even think about formatting until after I had loaded my card down with movies and music and games....exFat = Nope.

No ExFat support? Wow. Mad Catz put NO effort into the software of this device, did they. Just using the stock OS without bothering to add in bluetooth 4.0 support and just throwing in a dongle to compensate (various phone providers, i.e. HTC have a history of providing a better than stock bluetooth stack), no camera support, no exFat support (this just makes them cheapskates since they just needed to license it crom Microsoft like the phone makers that provide it on their phones and tablets).
I still have time to decide. I was planning on buying it on amazon, sending it to a friend and then having them bring it when they visited in order to avoid the overpriced shipping and import fees but I'm starting to think I'd be better off with a cheap quadcore A15 device with an SoC like the A80 from allwinner and a Moga controller. It would be cheaper, have better play store support and be more versatile from what I'm reading on here...
Considering how little effort they've put into the software I wouldn't be surprised if they never got around to the KitKat upgrade. Companies who put more effort into the OS often fail whdn it comes to promised upgrades. And if Mad Catz never upgrades the OS it means users are limited to just ONE USB port which seriously cuts dow on usability.
Wait, are you saying you can only use one usb port at a time because of the OS version?

yes beacause if there's no update to kitkat the BT smart dongle is in one already and will have to stay there.
I think it will come out, they have said it would a few times now. so just a matter of when.
yip I tested mine, no exFat support... a bit of a shame
Buy an USB Hub.
You can use hdd with ntfs should be much better then exfat.

At this time- the controller requires a dongle which takes up one of the usb slots.
You are left with the micro SD slot and the usb 3.0 slot.
When the Kitkat update arrives, you will be able to remove the dongle and have the usb 2.0 slot available.
The usb's will probably be obsolete soon anyway- seeing as PC streaming is coming in the kitkat update.
The point of mojo is to do everything via bluetooth and wifi.
That's the beauty of the machine.

First of all, the point is that you're not getting the functionality promised. You are told that it's a micro-console with TWO usb ports and you can either give up the controller, or give up a usb port. Secondly a usb hub can be an okay solution but you then have to worry about getting a normal one or a powered one and how much it will affect throughput splitting it up depending on what devices you have attached. And as is others here have reported problems in using both USB drives simultaneously (and that some drives work better in one than the other).
Yes, streaming is good, you can actually use it right now if you´re just talking about transferring files, but if you're told you'll get two USB ports you should GET two functional and available usb ports.
KitKat upgrade. They've mentioned it, but don't think there's actually an official announcement. Plus they could have had that functionality there since the beginning. Smartphone and tablet makers add/take away functionality from Android and its Kernel. Heck, people HERE do it all the time. So why can't Mad Catz. And how long exactly do people have to wait for the upgrade? As the saying goes, buy a device for what it can do today, not what it can do tomorrow. Manufacturers often don't come through on promised upgrades.
Also to say that you/they support SDXC without a disclaimer saying that you can't use exFat is fraudulent as exFat is STANDARD on SDXC. If they made all this clear from the beginning it wouldn't be so bad but they don't and as such mislead their (potential) clients. Who cares about friendly and speedy support if they can't actually solve the issues present?
I would use the USB to hold a thumb drive full of data like the ISOs I've ripped from my GameCube and PSX for emulation. (Trying to get my wife to give up the Wii to our son when the Android port of Dolphin reaches maturity).
Formatted my card as FAT32, loaded it down, NO LUCK.
Tried the card in two computers and it shows up as FAT32 with all files intact. I'm on my A700 right now, popped it in, and it is working just fine.
There really needs to be a reboot option on the MOJO...Yes, I rebooted..no luck. Causes FC from settings when I try to see my storage.
Thoughts?

Nothing.
When it was formatted as exFAT, I could at least get to the storage options...just wouldn't mount.
I'm trying an extHD to connect.
First try 1 partition 1TB NTFS - recognized and mounted without problems on USB 3.0 port. (but NTFS don't work on my LG G2)
2nd try 4 partitions 1,2,3,4, extFat 256GB recognized, but can't mount. (but works fine on LG G2)
3rd try 4 partitions 1 NTFS, 2,3 extFat and 4 NTFS - don't work
4rd try 1 partition 1TB extFat - can't mount.
So, I let this thing NTFS formatted now. :silly:
If the M.O.J.O could be rooted, we could use tools to mount ALL formats and ALL partitions.
Solution for my rooted LG G2 was simple. " Paragon NTFS & HFS+ " is a free tool in Play Store.
NTFS is r/w now on my smartphone and r/o on the Mojo.

I think that you sniffer groups disk by type. Android is an LINUX Distribution.
Then you should have USB 1 / USB 2 / USB 3 (there's 3 ports 2 USB Standard and 1 Mini Usb)

For 1TB hard drive, thats very bad I use FAT32 for my macbook, and it is 320GB. I really didn't understand why it doesn't support that, shouldn't be because of FAT32.
Also for microSD, I think you are right Gkar3, I will buy Lexar 32GB now. It would be very ridiculus, if Adam doesn't support 32GB micro SD.

The Mini USB is a HOST port. Meaning that you plug in a standard size USB side of a cable to your computer and the mini side into your Adam... this will allow you to mount the internal storage from your Adam as a R/W drive on your computer. (it essentially makes your Adam's internal memory act like a 'usb thumb drive')

You can run FAT32 on 1TB drives, but I have not heard of an Android limit on FAT32 before. Windows XP does not support formatting of external drives to FAT32 unless they are smaller than 32GB. This is a superficial limit imposed by Microsoft and there are a number of tools that will allow you to format large external drives to FAT32.
Another thing to note is that just because the base Android system did not support NTFS out of the box doesn't mean some of the XDA devs won't be able to able to add NTFS support into a custom kernel. We'll have to wait until some of the XDA devs get their hands on the NotionInk Adam before we can see what features we can add.
Also, FAT32 has a filesize limit of 4GB... so if you are trying to keep some large, HD movies on the external HDD for playback on your Adam you may want to consider another filesystem (other than FAT32).
--edit--
I'll try to plug a large FAT32 drive into my ViewSonic G-Tablet tonight and see how it works. It's running the nVidia Tegra2 chip so it should at least be similar.
i m new as you can see but i m so happy cause i found you
For me it's Linux Kernel that rules Android then if you use FAT32 then you can create file system from 2 to 8 Tb

I've seen many people complain that they wish the Iconia had a full-size SD slot and not a microSD one. Today, I realized that microSD can be a big advantage.
My wife is on a school trip this weekend, currently on a bus with 60 high-schoolers. She just called because she realized that she'd left behind some important instructions that she's supposed to read to the kids on the bus. I can e-mail them to her, but the problem is that the tablet (my Acer Iconia) doesn't have a WiFi connection on the bus and lacks 3G so she can't receive the e-mail there. The instructions would be too small to easily read from her phone. Fortunately, her phone is an Android one with a microSD card. So, I've e-mailed her the instructions - she can save them on the microSD card, swap the card into the tablet, copy the file to the tablet's memory, and then return the cards. This will put the document on the tablet, where she can easily read it.
This made me realize that a similar solution would be useful with photos. I can take the photos on my camera, copy them to the tablet and convert the RAW images to 800x600 JPGs. Next, I can put the JPGs on a microSD card in the tablet's card slot and then put that card into an Android phone to e-mail them as desired. True, having 3G on the tablet, or setting up tethering with the phone, would be better options, but neither are available to me at the present. So, this will be a great solution - when I replace my iPhone with an Android (I hope to have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE/Skyrocket soon).
Thanks for that post. It just shows how far we have come with technology over the years and how tablets are becoming part of every day life.
Just be careful putting the SD card in and out of devices. I think the locking tab on most micro SD cards is much too small and will wear off. This will make the card not hold in.Safari as the Iconia its tough to get micro card locked in .for me anyway.I don't think micro slots should be mechanically spring loaded to small to work correctly.
You can do Bluetooth file sharing between tablet and iteration non android devices.just pare them. I think you have to send the file from the phone.
From my touch pro2 i send files to the A500 via bluetooth. Im sure you can do the same with a android phone. I wouldnt go swapping cards from device to device.
Why didn't she just connect her Android phone to the USB port of your iconia via the cable?

I've found that bluetooth usually works pretty well for transferring small files. It seems to be too slow to transfer larger files quickly, however. With files over 20mb in size I try to use a cable, or even a thumb drive with the acer.

Do the MicroSD cards have locking tabs? The ones I have dont.... thought it was only on the full size.
But aside from that... the OP had the exact same thought as me when I got my tab. Although i really wanted a full size SD slot for the extra capacity and to swap with my camera, I ended up using a Mini/Full SD adapter to use the Minis in my camera.
I bought this from my local Kmart and use the USB adapter in my A500 to read MicroSD from my phone or another tablet. Beats the crap out of actually trying to fiddle the one out from my tablet, and it has the bonus of being able to plug into my PC and my car stereo's USB port if I want to listen to music from it.

Works really well and its a tiny little thing, I can leave it plugged into my tablets USB port all the time and it doesn't get in the way too much at all.

Not write protect locking. Ian refering to the tiny bump on the side of the card that holds it into the slot.This is not used on many phones. But the Iconia SD card locked in by this tab.I have a SD card I used alot between two phones with music on it.this card will not stay in position on my tablet that lock (little bump on card) is worn off

Even with USB storage turned on it won't recognize it! My computer can see both drives on my phone just fine but the tablet gets nothing :/
I intentionally bought a micro SD card + SD adapter for my digital camera so I can easily swap the card into my tablet to transfer photos over. Yes, a USB adapter would have done the job with a regular SD but this is one less thing to carry around. Now I can swap Micro SDs between my tablet, camera and phone. It feels good to be connected

Not trying to be a smart ass but in three words "Google Cloud Storage". They want to push you to one of their paid services.
I use USB OTG Helper to resolve all my external storage access issues both with rooted Stock and various custom ROMs. I get full RW access on SD cards formatted as ext2,3,4 and external HDD formatted with NTFS. Of course FAT16/32 access still work. This product is so good I bought the donate version just to show respect to the developer.

One last thought, is this a self powered HDD? If it is not maybe the N10 is not supplying enough power for the HDD to function. I read some people had OTG attached HDD drives that only worked if the N10 had a charge above some percentage and failed when it dropped below that percentage.
My only HDD test was with a self powered device.
Hi everyone :fingers-crossed:
I have bought a USB OTG adapter for my GS4 GT-i9505.
I'm running the pre-rooted stock rom : XXUEMJ5
When I plug a FAT32 key, it gets mounted without any problem.
However, when I plug a NTFS key, it ask me to format it because it can't recognize it
I know this is normal on stock kernel and stock rom, so i've been looking around for solutions, and I only found a few apps on the play store, such as : Paragon NTFS/HFS+, this has worked perfectly for like one day, but today it doesn't mount my key anymore, I tried wiping the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but none of these solutions worked :crying:
I even tried almost every app i could find on the play store that were supposed to do the same, but still no luck.
So how can i get NTFS working on my device ?
Thanks in advance :victory:
I'd honestly recommend not using ntfs because many many devices don't support it. Next time u plug it into a dvr, tv, any embedded device, unix env...just use fat32, exfat if u require it.

The file size limit for exfat is 17,179,869,184 gigabytes for a single file. It was invented to store 3d 4k definition extended edition uncompressed p0rn
The reason not to use ntfs is the spec is private, and only microsoft has the correct implementation. The reason exfat is so much nicer is they published the spec and it supported correctly everywhere. Such as car entertainment systems, routers with usb ports, tv, dvr,ps4/xbox, and any other unix system including android. Anything with a usb port or sd card reader
So I have inserted the 3.0 usb mini drive and get message usb is running slow should try 3.0 or drive needs to be formatted. I format the drive and it fails then everything gets messed up at that point. es file explorer sees it but says can not open file. In the geforce forums many people are having the same issue. I plug in a usb 2.0 thumb drive and it detects and es file explorer sees it fine. Me thinks an update is needed. Any ideas?
thx
What type are you using?
I have a 128gb sandisk usb stick as adopoted storage in slot 1, in slot 2 I now have usb 3 Verbatim 1gb external drive.
Tried several others as I tweaked my setup and all worked (sandisk, verbatim , samsung)
Having the same problem. I've tried two different USB sticks. Both 128gb up to 400mbps read and 270mbps write. Shield claims both are too slow and fails to format either. Once it fails, the sticks are rendered useless and even after formatting, the shield will not mount either stick.. Nvidia support was not helpful at all. They're going to email me back when they find a solution.
Are they all USB 3? I read it doesn't support less than this so in case you have USB 2 sticks this may be the issue.
If they are USB 3 then I am not sure.
USB 2.0 drive work fine. I have already tested a couple. I got a 64GB 3.0 SanDisk to work. I did not bother formatting when aked. It came formatted in Fat 32.
I have used both USB 2 and 3; most USB 2.0 flash drives has given me a slow warning error, but the USB 3.0 one rocked and adopted just fine.
Same issue here. Just got my 2017, plugged in a sandisk fit 128, and it doesn't detect it. Plugged in some crappy 8gb lexar drive I had and it detects it. Tried formatting the sandisk multiple times, ntfs and exfat and still nothing.
That's very strange, I have the same as you and it worked in both usb slots on the Shield when I was testing what I would like my setup to be before eventually using it as adopted storage in slot 1.
How are you guys formatting your drives, maybe this is the issue? Having said that my 1tb HD in 2nd USB slot is NTFS.
I tried both exFat and NTFS.
Here's what i tried.
Sandisk Ultra Fit 128 USB 3.0 (both NTFS & exFat) - didn't recognize under either format
Lexar 8GB crappy old drive USB 2.0 (FAT32) - recognized
PNY 64GB (not sure of model) USB 2.0 (both NTFS & exFAT) - Didn't recognize as exFAT, but did recognize it as NTFS
Seagate 250GB 2.5" portable drive USB 2.0 (NTFS) - recognized
I've ordered the samsung bar drive (plastic) 128GB to try that now. I can't use the USB 2.0 drives, it's noticeably slower.
Same issue here with 2nd gen shield TV and USB 3.0 Samsung FIT 128 GB USB drive.
After formatting the drive as extended storage it is showing "Samsung drive is ejected" message.
tried formatting using Fat32, NTFS and exFat with no success, also changed the the drive policy to optimize performance then formatted, no success either.
This is becoming a frustrating issue.
Any solution please?
There is an update in the works that corrects most of these issues with USB drives. If you check this thread https://forums.geforce.com/default/...the-next-shield-experience-software-upgrade-/ then you will figure out what I am reffering too.
Bump? I just gave up on my Samsung Bar 128GB (USB 3.0) drive. It seems to work in other devices without any issues. It would occasionally be detected after while in USB port 2, but the format never succeeded. I tried formatting it myself using exFAT and NTFS, and then tried deleting all partitions and still had no luck. Stuck a SanDisk 32GB drive in there and it worked right away for adopted storage.
I just got my Nvidia shield tv 2017 16gb and discovered that the usb port closest to the ethernet port does not recognize usb flash drives. First I tried to use a 128gb sandisk flash drive on that port and it took forever to format so I canceled the process. Then tried over the other port and it took seconds to finish.
I think the problem is related to the OP has there been any breakthrough?
In actuality the port works for connecting a dongle for a keyboard or mouse, but flash drives are a no go. Additionally, the drives connected to that port get blazing hot.
Plug in your hard drive then unplug the Nvidia system plug it back and let it power on

Having the same problem. I've tried two different USB sticks. Both 128gb up to 400mbps read and 270mbps write. Shield claims both are too slow and fails to format either. Once it fails, the sticks are rendered useless and even after formatting, the shield will not mount either stick.. Nvidia support was not helpful at all. They're going to email me back when they find a solution.

I ended up purchasing a 2TB Western Digital My Passport external drive and it worked right away and haven't had an issue with it since. It's been great, but unfortunately, the original issue was never fixed as far as I know. I've taken a couple updates since, but haven't tried any other sticks since the WD Drive is working so well. If you're on the latest update and still having an issue, then I recommend an external drive.

Thank you for the info.
How did you setup the heater all drive?
How did you managed to install all apps and games and not filling up the Internal 16GB memory?
Thanks
