you can use this USB3.0 AF/AF Adapter
Has anybody tried this yet and confirm its working? Maybe even with USB2 harddrives?
Cheers
I can confirm that the dock recognises my old 80Gb WD passport USB2 drive - I have it partitioned as well into FAT and EXT3 as well and recognises both.

Hi everybody.
I haven't got a Nexus 7, but I'm seriously thinking on getting one.
As I live outside the US, but a friend of mine is traveling there next month, I'm making my plans on what I'm going to ask him to buy for me.
I have read about USB OTG support on rooted Nexus 7, and plan to use it for expanding storage.
So, the question that brings me here is, which speed does the Nexus 7's micro usb support?, does it make sense to invest in a usb 3.0 drive, or I won't get passed USB 2.0 speed?
Not really sure if all this usb 2.0 or 3.0 applies to micro usb, so please forgive me if I'm asking something dumb.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Barba
Stick with a 2.0 drive if that's your main intention for it

I was wondering about this as well. Will the read/write speeds be faster on a USB 3.0 flash stick?

Any update on this?
I tried an enclosure with 3.0 and was not readable through the USB OTG. I ended up buying a 2.0 enclosure intead.
I have a seagate drive that I can't seem to get to work on the usb port. Are there any apps I need to make it compatible?
As far as I know the nexus 4 does not support "usb on the go".

Hi guys, because the nexus does not support usb host I'm looking for a wireless hard drive to store data. Anyone know of any good brands? I'm looking to store movies on it so I can stream it to my nexus while I have to connected to the tv via hdmi slim port. Thanks!

I also am looking to get a wireless hard drive as well, but I'd love to hear opinions from a real user before purchasing.
Would you be so kind to answer my questions...?
Is it the 16GB or 32GB?
What are the kinks of the Wi-Drive?
Is there a limitation of file types, of which that be played/opened?
Are you satisfied with the drive? What are your main uses for the drive?
i just got my Patriot Gauntlet Node with OCz ssd. I liked the idea of the Gauntlet Node over the Wi-Drive or GoFlex since it was just an enclosure so you can put any size 2.5" SSD or HDD, in theory. The Gauntlet doesnt work with the ocz ssd at all, wifi or usb, it would broadcast the network and bridge the internet but no drives were mounted. I also tried a Seagate HDD that only worked with usb and same result with wifi. I updated the Gauntlet's firmware but still didnt work. Not much support from Patriot either, i found out the Gauntlet is made by another company and Patriot just re-branded it so they just tell you to recharge the batteries or update firmware. Looks like it's going back and might go for the 128gb Wi-Drive.

Is the internet bridge any good on the Wi-drive? The gauntlet capped the internet bridge network speed to about 2Mbps.
How is the battery life?

You could simplify that by getting a complete media center, like WD TV Live Hub(which is top notch) or something similar.
It's more expensive than a simple wifi hard drive, but well worth the price imo..

+1 on this. I love my WD TV Live Hub. I wish it had more HD space built-in as 1 TB get filled up pretty quickly with 1080p movies, but plugging external USB drives into it works very well and I can access all the movies with my N4 or Xoom.
I guess it comes down to what you are looking for. I would think about getting the Wi-Drive since it is portable giving you the ability to watch movies on your N4 anywhere and for extra portable file storage. The WD TV Live Hub gives you a lot more space for your buck, ~$200 for 1 TB on the Hub versus ~$100 for 64GB on the Wi-Drive.
This thread has me thinking about creating a folder on my Live Hub just for expanded storage for my N4. I already use my N4 to control the Live Hub, so why not use the Hub to make backups of my nandroids and rom files.

Buy a portable external Hard Drive with 1-3TB for under £70 and hook it up to your wireless router (if supported).

For the OP if you just want to stream stuff at your house you dont need any extra hard drive, there are lots of options. You can just use your local network and use ES file explorer to stream and play movies/music or set up a upnp server and use a upnp app on your nexus to play it.

That Corsair Voyage Air looks very appealing. Its basically the seagate go flex satellite with extra features.
Depending on the price, i might as well buy it. I think i can wait a couple of months. Although, the 16GB kingston wi-drive looks really tempting in its current price.
Regardless, I just wish some one would make a wireless usb hub/microsd card reader....It would be the be all end all solution for future debates on a gadget's storage size, usb on the go support, and inclusion of external storage.

If your router has a USB port, you can attach an external hard drive and share the content.
What do you all think of the below items I'm getting.
iMito MX1 MiniPC
RC12 Air Mouse/Keyboard
Logitech C310 webcam
Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra-Mini Hub
Anyone suggest other accessories?
You may want to consider a USB Ethernet adapter unless you are pretty sure you will have an optimal WiFi signal.
Something like this would be a great USB Stick accessory:
3 port USB hub and 10/100 ethernet
http://dx.com/p/usb-1-1-10-100mbps-ethernet-3-usb-2-0-ports-hub-adapter-white-10cm-125259
(I know I keep linking to dx.com, but I am not a plant. I have no relation with DX, except that I have ordered from them in the past.)
I have the mx2. Will the hubs work to add more devices to this? I'd like to run a HDD as well as the rc12 remote from the same USB port. For some reason my mini USB port is very delicate and I have to wiggle the wire for the mx2 to.pick it up

Thanks for the recommendation, but I will have the MX2 within 3 feet of the router. However I may need something like this when I move to a new place.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any idea if this will have USB Type-C 3.1 or 2.1 like the Oneplus 2?
I guess you completely missed the sticky that said " questions don't go in the general thread " huh lol
But anyway, its USB 2 with fast charging.

Honestly not sure. It doesn't register when plugged in. I emailed the seller on ebay and he/she said the device had to be 3.1 enabled...
But as somebody mentioned on the reddit link:
The USB Type-C to USB Standard-A Adapter accessory image shows a blue tip, which should be exclusive to 3.0+
and
Also, that page says "data transfer speeds up to 5 gbps", which is USB3 spec.
That said, that an adapter cable they're selling on the Google Store is USB3.0-compatible doesn't automatically imply the phones will work at USB3 speeds - even if said adapter is included in the package when you buy the phone. It will probably simply act as a USB-C to USB-A conduit, running at USB2 speeds.

That product listing dates back to the 2015 Chromebook Pixel launch, which has USB 3.0 Type-C ports. They listed it with the Nexus since it's backwards compatible with 2.0 devices.
