I wanted to buy the N10 and expand the memory in order to watch films on it and was wondering whether or not I'd be able to use this 128gb memory stick, along with the USB OTG Adapter I purchased for my Galaxy S2
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/busbi-lite-usb-memory-stick-128gb-black-14442745-pdt.html#longDesc
Try it on the phone ... if anything its not the cable its the usb

Yeah I'm sure the cable would work, as it works fine on my S3, but I just don't want to spend money on the USB stick for it not work when I get the N10
edit: also, would this adapter be suitable for the N10? It says it's expandable to 32gb, so would it be useless to buy that and a 64gb microSD card?

It will probably be a while before you can get a definitive answer since the tablet is not even released yet and all the reviews are on units with pre release software.
I think it will work ,search for same in xda you will find so much topics.
Well I'm assuming it can be tested on another device, such as the S3 or the Note 10.1. I just don't want to buy and realise that the USB stick requires too much power for it to work, or something along those lines which would render the purchase pointless..
I was also wondering what would be a better idea, getting a USB Memory stick + USB OTG, or getting USB OTG + MicroSD/MicroSD Reader? Is there any benefits of getting either over the other?

The one I've found says it has read speeds up to 30MB/s and write speeds of up to 17MB/s, which is the same as a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card. I wanted Sandisk to release a 64GB version of their Extreme Pro microSDHC UHS-I cards, but it only goes up to 16GB
I'm thinking of going for the USB memory stick, assuming it'll work, simply because of how much easier it'll be, as I could use it to store school work too.

I managed to find a 128GB Memory stick with USB 3.0 for £90, so if the N10 supports it and perhaps I can upgrade my laptop, I'm defo spending £90!

I was also wondering about the "L" shaped OTG adapter, I was thinking of getting that, but I weren't sure if, once plugged in, it'll hand down the side of the N10, or if it'll be faced up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Judging from photos, a standard L-shaped (right angled) OTG cable should hang down on the side of a Nexus 10.
So I ordered a pair of these, the photo shows in order for it to hang down, the wider edge of the connector must be in the front. And here you can see, that is the case, I guess it was designed with those adapters in mind (though not neccessarily USB storage).
Anyway, if it doesn't mount the storage out of the box, there are tools to work around that.

What speeds are you guys getting when transferring files via USB
It seems that my evo and my PC transfer files at 3-4mb/sec max.
I've the the stock 8gb SD card, stock HTC microUSB cable.
The same USB port transfers to my external and my htc diamond at 20-30mb/sec.
Any suggestions/advice/solutions are appreciated.
Some people were telling me its because the microsd is a class 2, but I find that hard to believe.

I would blame the SD card. HTC probably threw the cheapest cards in there that they could and those are probably class 2 cards. That being said, I don't mind the slow speed, don't move files around on there to often.

Seriously? I think you may want to try a different computer or SD card...my evo is screaming fast on USB transfers, I'd say faster than any other USB device I have. Hopefully HTC didn't buy their SD cards from shady suppliers...i'd hate to think that anyone got fake cards with their EVO.
The stock Micro SDHC card is in fact a Samsung Class 2 8GB Micro SDHC card. Class 2 defines a minimal write-speed of 2Megabytes/second.
What the hell kind of card/hard drive does your other phone have?
Doubt they are fake, just cheap cards. Welcome to the world of consumer electronics. An 8GB card is a selling point, but not necessarily a good cost opportunity.

The CDMA Diamond has a 4gb internal, so who knows. That thing was pretty quick so I was expecting the same for the evo.
So even with a great quality microsd, the fastest it can transfer is 8-12mb/sec?

The SD and USB adapters are the same size. It's two separate units that use the same cap to protect their 30 pin plugs for storage.

Actually, they aren't both the same size. They both stick out from the tablet the same distance (length) but the SD card reader is wider than the USB reader.

What are the chances that we'll be able to tweak things on the Nexus 7 so that you can plug a cable like this:

or an adapter like this:
and then the Nexus 7 can host USB devices, such as flash/thumb drives:
or SD card readers:
?
I don't own a Xoom, but I'm aware that people use dongles such as these to read SD cards, thumb drives, etc., on the Xoom. I learned this while reading umpteen posts where people were bashing this device's lack of a SD card slot. There was one lone response from a Xoom owner (and N-7 pre-order-er) who said that he wasn't worried about it, because he figured that the N-7 would be able to do this soon and maybe even immediately.
What do you think?
i've yet to see it actually confirmed in video/pictures but i've seen multiple reports of OTG (this setup) being confirmed in Android 4.1
my experience with this was the galaxy nexus. The GN was capable of OTG, but i wouldn't work out of the box. You had to root and install an app called StickMount and then it would work.
The only limitation was power. sd-readers, flash drives worked fine. Hard drive, wouldn't turn on.
AnandTech said:
Update: I've had many emails and questions about whether USB-OTG (On The Go) is supported on the Nexus 7, and didn't touch on it when I originally hit publish becuause I wasn't entirely sure. I've now confirmed that USB-OTG is supported on the Nexus 7, and works on the current Android 4.1 non-final build that has been sampled. That's encouraging, and I'll test it myself when I get home and to my miniUSB OTG adapter.
I've never used USB-OTG. What is it exactly? Just a way to hook to your computer for storage?
Team EOS Rom for the Xoom has it working and I've subsequently mounted thumb drives to my Xoom many times.
I believe the Galaxy Nexus has this working as well.
I'm quite positive it will be doable with the Nexus 7, if not on stock, then on a custom rom. By the sound of things, having some form of expandable storage is in high demand so I'm sure developers will make it a relatively high priority.
Edit: I have the second adapter in your post. I wouldn't recommend it as its pretty flimsy; I'd recommend going with the cable variant.
Brian at Anandtech was the key person getting people's hopes up (at least what was spread though the internet). He mentioned he would confirm if it worked when he got home, so maybe "home" is another country (hence the 24 hours with no answer yet).

lol .. must be. I've been checking back and no new info.
Also, reportedly a Jon from The Google Play Team said "Yes you can use an external storage through the microUSB."
PS. Brian at Anandtech says he's going to try it "as soon as he can" implying to me that he doesn't actually have a device in his hands. Worryingly he says that whoever he's asked about this (Google I guess) they "are being somewhat vague with filesystems / native support".

Update 2: I've asked for further clarification about what USB-OTG functionality is supported. Using a mouse and keyboard will be supported, and I saw Google using an ethernet to USB adapter over USB-OTG as well. Unfortunately I found out that mounting USB storage will not be supported natively. In addition MHL is not supported

Well, I would be surprised if the hardware didn't support flash drives, but I'm a bit concerned about no MHL. Does the tegra–3 chipset support MHL or is extra hardware required? Maybe they expect everyone to buy a Nexus Q to stream videos to a tv... No thanks.

If the hardware is able to power up a USB mouse, I don't think it will have issues powering up a USB stick, if the feature is missing in the N7 kernel, I am sure it won't take too long until someone develops a "fix" to mount mass storage onto this tablet.

I recently contacted a Google Nexus representative and he told me explicitly that the Nexus 7 does support MHL but that some additional software was required. He didn't say what kind of software and I don't know enough about MHL to make an educated guess. What would it take to make the N7 support MHL assuming the Hardware is there?
Also this guy might just be a misinformed employee because he's the only one who seems to think that it supports MHL
And USB OTG works as well. Romain Guy from Google posted already some posts on G+ about using the Nexus as Constroller for his Canon DSLR. I guess it's the same as with the Nexus Phone. Mouse, Keyboard, DSLR Camera out of the box and usb thumbdrives maybe again with root and the stickmount app.
With the rise in popularity of tablets and smartphones, and the microUSB port as the standard for these devices, could we see some flash drives designed for tablets that make use of the microUSB connector?
I'd love to buy a 64GB flash drive that can plug straight into my Nexus 7 and my smartphone and my friends' devices too.
It'll probably be charged at a premium due to the relatively niche usage, but regular 64GB drives are pretty cheap these days, and they're only going to get cheaper.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? A USB OTG adapter isn't so big or expensive but it'd be great to have a storage device that works natively.

Definitely a better price, but still inconvenient to have the connector on the end like that. I think that at least for now, it's more convenient to just have a separate cable, not to mention that I don't think I'd trust the reliability of these no-name flash drives in the long run.

Problem is, how do you then connect the otg thumb drove to your pc? There would also have to be a backward adapter. Also a switch to un-short the pins that define it as an OTG device.

I use an usb otg cable and keep stuff like rom zip, titanium backups and nandroid backups always on usb.
you can even nandroid directly to usb

It seems nobody keeps the roms in phone. Also o have two GPS apps with huge maps. I have 3 roms stored and that is a reason that my space is occupied. Also music, photos, WhatsApp or titanium. Just 2 gb free. But seriously I think 64 gb is my comfort zone. Too bad we don't have sdcard option.

For the music part you can upload your music to google play and stream it. I have unlimited data so that works for me. It frees up a lot of space on my phone.

Somehow based on my personal usage, I have found out that 32 gb, are not enough for me. I thought I found the perfect phone in LG g2. I am always deleting files.
Anybody left LG g2 because of limited storage? How do you deal with it?

I personally use OTG, you must separate or split the files between primary files and not. Primary is file that you really need to access fast and frequently like worksheets, you need to put that Primary in your phone and the rest is on another storage device.
Could I use more storage? Of course... but 24ish gigs is enough for my most favorite music, lots of map stuff, and way too many apps.
All ROMs, kernels, and nandroids go on my OTG USB drive. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-32GB-Traveler-MicroDuo-DTDUO/dp/B00IRUS7KU
I have an 16GB S3 with a 32GB SD Card. I have only used about 10GB combined, So I know for certain that if I end up buying a 32GB G2 ... it will be fine for me - well I hope haha.
After reading some experience here, I am thinking to buy a tiny otg usb. Primary option would to be a key chain. I am looking for it.

I saw it and I appreciate. But I meant a keyring, that I can tie it to the keys I keep in my pocket. Your link was a simple usb without a cord option. Or did I missed that, ?

I don't know that personally would do it, but it does have a small place you could hook something to. It's not very well shown in the pictures, but you can see it here.

I personally just put it in my headphone case.
