Does the acer iconia support a 320 gb harddrive??
Whts the maximum capacity hard drive that it can read?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App

Out of the box it can only read FAT32 formatted drives. Your bigger harddrive is most likely formatted as NTFS, you can find a solution to read these drives in the development forum of the Iconia A500.

I've connected 2tb drives just fine. The a500 only supports fat32 drives natively. If its ntfs try ntfsmount or usb mount all.

Is it NTFS formatted? Apparently the stock ROM/kernel doesn't support NTFS. Try Ext4, FAT or exFAT.

it doesn't meets the power requirement , i have a seagate backup plus 1 tb external and its usb3.0 and doesn't works on usb otg , get an external powered usb port and then try connecting it, would definitely work.

[Q] Can't Transfer Big Files to Internal/External SD Card After Rooted

Hi all, I just got my Note 3 N-900 Exynos few days ago and I decided to root it. Before it's rooted I can transfer big size files (100mb-700mb) to my internal/external SD card without any problem. But after it's rooted now I can't copy files around those sizes anymore. Anybody know what's wrong and got the solution for this issue? Any help will be much appreciated.

If you typically use USB 3.0 then it might be the 5 minute timeout. Try a large file with USB 2 and see if it completes.

What do you mean? I just plugged in the stock usb that came with the phone to my pc and copy-paste the files. Not sure whether it's the 3.0 or 2.0 usb. When I paste it suddenly the explorer force closing.

I would try a SD Card reader from Best Buy, you should have no problem transferring files with the card out of the phone. it plugs into the computer similiar to a flash drive, and you can access the micro card with a reader.

when i copy or cut something with usb3 an error pops up that your device isnt responding or disconnected
only in usb3 mode i have this problem and i know that there is not anything wrong with my usb3 port because i used it before by usb3 flash memories.

Yes I do have a micro sd card adapter so I can plug it in to my pc as a removable disk. But it's annoying that I have to unmount my sd card, take it off my phone, put in in the adapter and then plug it in the pc everytime I want to transfer files to my phone.

Mine doesn't have a pop up like it that, the windows explorer just shut down suddenly when I attempted to paste the file.

Did you format the card? I recall not doing that a while back and I had the same problem

No I didn't format both internal and external sd card. You think formatting them is a possible solution for this issue?

none
You wont format the internal, just the external. I can only tell you it worked for me, make a folder for your files, move them off the card, format and put them back on
