your pendrive should work as long as its formatted to FAT. I'm planning of hooking a 600GB HD when my kit arrives :fingers-crossed:

Usually HDs are NTFS format and not FAT. That could be the reason, why it is not recognized. I connected 2TB Seagate external HDD and got error statement like "SD card is not in recognizable format". That HDD is in NTFS format.

I'm currently using an 8GB sdcard. I bought a 16GB and tried to transfer data. The first problem I have is that it takes forever to transfer it from my computer to the new card. I used a USB cord (new) and it still takes hours. Once it finally finished transferring I reboot and none of my data is there. What am I doing wrong?

Did you get the card from ebay? It's likely the card is a fake, or is just DOA.
of course ,i think the sd card is a fake,to change another sd card to try again

Download h2testw on windows and run it to check your SD cards validity

Run that program above. Just because it looks good doesnt mean it is good, thats the whole reason these places make it look normal, so you think you are buying a real card.
And again, it could just be a bad card as well, contact the site and see about a return.
Will do.

Hello. I just wanted to share something pretty amazing. I have a self powered usb hard drive (plugs into wall) and using an otg cable and stickmount I can mount it to the fire!!! I have also tested about 6 other usb drives and only one worked (proof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5obpehfp9zbqk53/MAH00651.MP4)without using a power hub. So yeah, just thought id share.
Cool!

that is the only way. lack of power, I bought 15 USB drives, none would mount without a powered hub.

Interesting. I have a 1TB self powered hub too. I might just get an OTG cable and try it out.

Hi,
I have purchased an OTG cable for my Nexus 7 and when I plug it in it flashes for a second and then goes off. Do I need to do something to get this to work?
Thanks

You're connecting a USB flash drive?
the N7 doesnt support usb flash drives out of the box you will need to find an app to mount it, or if your rooted use the terminal to mount it
Most popular app used to mount USB storage is Stickmount. It's been updated to work with JB/Nexus 7, too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
I bought the right angle usb otg cable from New Egg for 3.99 US and it works great.
I also have a micro sdcard reader from Lexar that is designed to plug into the usb port so I'm staying pretty compact that way.
Install stick mount, I use that to use my 64GB USB for extra storage.

I had to trim the plastic around my otg adaptor before it would connect properly and let stickmount work. Now works perfectly with sandisc cruzers

I have downloaded stick mount however that requires root so its a no go, also I see that people are saying they bought the right otg cable and it worked, is that non-rooted? If so where can I buy the right cable from as I am in UK?
Thanks

If not rooted- the stickmount app does pop up, but can't mount the device and you have no access to attached device because you don't have superuser rights.
So- you need to be rooted- and use the stickmount app.... that's it.

Yes, it does, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743052
So long as you have rooted your device and installed Stickmount.
With so many great games out that are very large, what is the best way to keep storage? I just cycle through them and uninstall them when done. Pretty much play one large game at a time. Is there a better way/way to increase storage?
Thanks

I've been curious about this also. But havent been able to completely figure it out by reading on the internet. Could you explain?
Does this mean that with USB OTG and NExus 7 Media importer, you could for example:
Plug and 16 GB USB Memory stick into your nexus, and your nexus would then have 16GB extra storage? Or does USB OTG only view whats already on the USB, so you'd put music/videos onto the USB stick, then it shows you that but doesnt read the storage?
I hope this makes sense
Thanks !
I'm rooted using the OTG-usb and stickmount. I have added music, videos, and pictures to a connected thumbdrive or sdcard and they show up and play just fine using the Nexus apps.
Root and Stickmount seems most popular method (many threads on XDA), or you could try this app if not rooted.
Nexus media importer is the way to go if ur not rooted. Works perfectly no problems whatsoever.

It works the same way as it would on a pc it see's it as portable storage, but there is a way to move your games to the usb stick also.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if accessing my external hard drive will be possible with my Note 3 when I get it? I have a externally powered western digital hard drive I would like to transfer files back and forth between! Is this possible and if so don't I need anything special to download this? Thanks in advanced......

You will need a micros usb otg adaptor lead and you will probably have to use exfat disc format as I doubt that the Note3 will read NTFS discs without additional drivers that may require root.

I don't actually own an Android device at this point, but if my searching is correct, Fat32 should work.. but take that with a grain of salt.
As for the cable, yes, you will need an adapter. But I have a question.. what kind of HDD did you buy that has mini usb input..
Just use wifi file Explorer. I use that to transfer batch files all the time. Easiest way if you're not familiar.

The hard drive is not connected to any pc only to my xbox 360 is this still possible? And i have had the hard drive for about 4 or 5 years now its a Western Digital 1 terabyte.

Well wifi file Explorer hosts your phone on the router, going to the browser on your xbox gives you a Web based file explorer which you can then select files to copy to your device so I don't see why not.

Paragon has a tool on the play store to work with ntfs if you ever need that. It's pretty seamless. I use an otg adapter with a ntfs drive once a week at least on my note 2. Requires root though.

Resurrecting an old thread...
It works for me, I have a WD Elements 500GB external bus powered HDD - don't need a power adapter or anything. It's formatted FAT32 and partitioned - one 150GB and that's what I'm using to back up my device - the other I'm using for extra storage. Only the first partition shows up in File Explorer on my Note 3.
Don't need to be rooted for it to work, contrary to what's been stated elsewhere on the 'net.
Hope this helps - or that you have gotten it working since posting. Good luck!
Take care,
Scott
