Hey,
Does anyone here have the USB adapter for their Samsung Tab 10.1? Can you connect a USB hub to it (maybe a powered USB hub)?
I take lots of full resolution photos, and would like to use the Tab to transfer data from SD card to portable USB hard drive.
What I want to avoid is having to first copy the SD card contents to the Tablet, then connect the tablet to the portable HD to unload the photos. That seems like unnecessary wear/tear on the flash memory.
If the USB host on the Tab 10.1 can handle a hub, then I can connect both the SD card and portable HD at the same time...hopefully the Tab would make use of it's RAM (the 1GB spec) to transfer chunks of data at a time, without resorting to using the internal Flash memory.
Am I right about that? The Android OS doesn't use the flash memory as a page file for working memory the way desktop computers do with drives?
bump - hoping someone can answer. Thanks.
There is a thread in development about a homemade usb adapter, and it works successfully with a hub. The samsung adapter isn't available yet, but should work the same

pokey9000 figured out how to force the unit in host mode. All you need to do is put 20ohms of resistance (easiest way with two 10Ohm resisters in series) between pins 13 and 15.
He also tested using a powered hub and was able to connect to multiple items at once. A regular hub might work for a few thing that are low powered but if you plan to have two hard drives, it better be powered.
has anyone found a usb to sd card adapter for multiple sd cards?
Did you ever figure this out? I want to do the same thing.
Any app that activates or allows the S5 to connect to the pc as a USB Mass Storage?
thanks!
I would like to know as well.
I have a NOTE 4 running Darth Stalker, and I am wondering if anyone knows of a USB MASS STORAGE ENABLER that works on the note 4 to mount the external SD card (or just the music folder ) so I can use my phone as a USB thumb drive source on my car radio?
Hi.
I bought a SATA to USB adapter in order to connect an internal HDD to my phone (I also have an OTG cable).
when using the adapter with my computer, I get around 40MB/s of transfer speed. It's very sufficient.
But using the same adapter with my phone, it takes 2 minutes to transfer a 150MB file to the phone, so the speed is a bit more than 1MB/s
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
I am using stock lollipop. I tried to mount the drive with both the internal mounting system and using the SlickMount app, with the same results.
The drive is a 160GB Samsung drive formatted to exFAT.
Is there any way to get mass storage working on this phone via an adapter or something?
