Help Choosing External Memory?

Hi everyone, first post. I am a proud owner of the Archos 43 IT. So, I recently acquired the usb host cable from Deal Extreme.
Now, I only have two usb stick (8, and 16gb) neither of which work. My first intention was to put all of wikipedia on one flash drive (wikipedia is about 14.8 gb) so I could have everything on a portable screen. My second intention was to get an external hard drive (large capacity for movies on the HDTV), but there is a looot of misconception of what kind of drives work (NFTS, USB powered, etc) so I would love someone to spell out two things: What sixteen gigabyte usb drives are confirmed to work, and what sort of hard drive would the community recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Does the drive matter, or is it more the format of the drive? I have a bunch of USB drives that are all formatted either FAT32 or NTFS and they all seem to work.
I have not tried a external hard drive yet...

Well both of mine are fat32. I think its more an issue of powering the drives. From what I understand the Archos doesn't really give all that much juice to what's plugged in the host.

is your cable in working condition? you can try putting an external HDD and power the HDD with an external source to see if it works

Ah, yes it works just fine. I'v been using a USB keyboard with a trackball via the adapter, and I just plugged in my brother's external hard drive with a wall adapter (I don't have an external hd), and it worked great. So its just the flash drives, I just want to know if anyone has a 16gb drive they own that works via usb host.

Okay, here is a list of flash drives I've personally used that work without issue:
OCZ Diesel 4GB
Kingston Data Traveler 16GB
OCZ Rally2 8GB (Dual channel)
Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB
Sandisk Cruzer 1GB
Lexar 1GB
Here is a list of external hard drives/enclosures I've tested that work without issue:
Seagate FreeAgent Go
Metal Gear Box IDE Enclosure
Venus DS IDE Enclosure
Rosewill RS-358-S SATA I/II Enclosure
Here is a list of NAS drives I've tested that work without issue:
DataRobotics Drobo-FS
Buffalo Terrastation II
Hopefully this helps.

Hi, this does help. However, it leads to another question: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Kingston+Data+Traveler&x=15&y=22#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kingston+datatraveler+16&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Akingston+datatraveler+16
There seems to be a lot of variations on the data traveler 16gb. Would you mind telling me which one you personally have?

Holy buckets...had no idea there were so many versions. LOL.
Well, it says its a Data Traveler 2.0 under the hardware IDs. I don't think they even sell this model anymore. I bought it from Microcenter.com at the time.

Have you tried a micro sd card reader dongle with a 16GB micro sd card?
That's the solution I've been using and it has been working fine with my 43

Well according to your signature you have a 101 tablet, which has a full-size USB port that delivers more power to the device and has much wider drive compatibility. The smaller devices (43 and 70) provide less USB power and few devices work with them.
We need to get a list going of confirmed working peripherals with each device...

Everytime I see this I trip over the line that wikipedia is 14.8 gigs. I know this is totally off-topic, but wha!??! ("the compressed file enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 is over 280.3 GB in size (in 7z format is over ~31 GB), and decompresses to several (>5) Terabytes of text.")
My mind, it is boggled.

Best gain from external memory
there are interesting posts, in the development thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934087
seems that best performing cards on archos 101, after several tests, are
Transcent 8gb/6/0x4142
Lexar 16gb/6/0x4245
which approximate the internal card performance

USB OTG micro sdcard reader !

I've been thinking abit during christmas and searching ebay after the ultimate product for theese new devices that has micro USB with OTG capabilities.
I wish for a small OTG cable with built in micro SD card reader. Now I use an OTG cable and a small reader which ofcourse gets a bit lumpy.
With todays micro SD card readers integrated into a USB shell it shoud be easy to make it as a msall unit that goeas straight into the micro usb port, eiterh as a mall dongle with all integrated or as a coonnector with up to 2 inches of cable.
Or has someone already made this and I ca't find it ?

Thats the set up I'm using. There is no 'integrated' version I can think of but I'm trying to strip mine down and integrate them into a case.

A case with integrated microSD a great idea. Would be perfect for a GN, especially my GSM version haha.

Maybe Radio shack has some small case for projects and we can put the innards in a small form factor.

okay this isn't exactly what your looking for, but it's my setup and it works perfectly.
i'm using this cable. there are cheaper ones available but i wanted one that had comments saying it worked. (the cheaper one also goes the other direction.)

with this setup i used a class 10 16GB patriot memory microsd and it worked perfectly and incredibly fast. also i played standard def WMV and AVI files with no issues, in addition to a 720p episode of transformers prime and a 1080p movie trailer with no lag at all.
i'm looking into buying a 32GB, but i'm sure it will work considering microSD cards to not require a lot of power.
I was hoping that the phone would read my 1TB hard drive, but unfortunately it doesn't, so this is now my backup.

I have the same otg and reader...

works perfect on windows 7. just shows up like a flash drive would. as far as 32GB. can't say since my max card i own is a 16.
*edit* ah just saw the other post lol. Good to know a 32gig works. i'll be picking one up eventually now.

Do you think your sdcard reader draws less energy from the phone than a USB stick?
It's not handy for me using my old big USB stick and your solution seems better.

i can pretty much guarantee you that the microsd reader and card use less power than a USB stick.
i've confirmed a 16GB card, and another user has confirmed a 32GB card.
But in my flash drive tests, NOTHING over 8GB would work. i tried 3 different brand 16Gb and 2 different brand 32Gb and none worked. Additionally no portable hard drives worked either.
pretty much confirms that the cards use a lot less power than the flash drives.

What about formatting? If I recall correctly, the phone won't read anything that is NTFS formatted, as its not in the kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus LTE using xda premium

External hard drives require a startup power, that's why some of them have 2 USB connections. Even though they should only require one connection to work, depending on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to connect 2 USB ports to supply enough power for the hdd to spin up. After that it works fine.
I doubt the GN will ever supply the necessary power for an external HDD to work though. Best to stick to FAT32 flash drives and SD cards.
I have successfully connected a fat32 16Gb flash drive to my GN with a USB OTG adapter without any problems. Just make sure it's formatted as fat32 and not NTFS.

@esoomenona: i tried both fat32 and NTFS, on 16GB neither worked. my 32gb are all NTFS. did not know about the formatting kernel though. hope my kernel supports it since i plan on formatting my incoming 32gb microsd to ntfs.
@flakz0r: figured as much about the hard drives. my transformer can run it, so now it just needs to get ICS so it can play 720p videos without lag.
interesting that you got a fat32 16gb flash drive to work. guess the phone just doesn't like mine.
and since were on the subject of formatting, does anyone know any specific kernel that supports NTFS. i know stickmount just added support but it says you still need a kernel that supports it.

[Q] External Hard Drive???

Is it possible to connect an external hard drive through an OTG cable?? If so would it have to be a hard drive that can be powered through 1 usb cable

Yes it's certainly possible.

Skip to 1:04 where he starts testing hard drives. First a USB powered 250GB model, and after that a 2TB disk with its own power supply. Both work.

Another option, which I have done with my Xoom2 tab, and which should work with the Note 2...is to use a main-powered USB hub, then you can connect as many USB devices as you like, all at the same time.
At one point I had a camera, keyboard, mouse, usb stick and external drive all connected and all working...I have used an SD card reader as well =]
Just plug in the hub through the OTG, then everything else in to the hub...job done!

I've managed to successfully connect drives up to & including 64gb, but not higher (it claims 'external drive is corrupted' - but drive works fine in all PCs etc.). It may be dependent on the format of the external drive.

It does indeed...needs to be formatted in FAT32 I believe, I'm not sure if it will recognise NTFS.
I use Swissknife, it lets you format big drives e.g. 500GB in FAT32 =]
That should let you use it with the OTG cable.

It will recognise hard drives formatted to exfat, as long as they are independantly powered - no file size limitation.

It works with thumb drives, so I would assume also hdd: paragon ntfs. Free in the app store, requres root.

Has anyone tried a 128 GB thumbdrive?
I am thinking about buying one in order to store movies and then share it between the Note 2 and a Nexus 10 (perhaps). Since I found Mizuu, it has been really interesting to carry a big movie library for travelling and access them through a nice interface.

Mini Micro-SD Card Reader

This is a pretty neat idea, and is compatible with the new Droid line. For $12 you get a coin-sized micro SD adapter that attaches to your key chain. Supports up to 64Gb micro SD cards.

I have 3 of these, I'm an original Kickstarter backer & love this little thing
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I got a pair of them, too. I use them mainly for movie storage for my Nexus 7. You can use a 64GB card, but you (usually) have to reformat it as FAT32. The 64GB cards come formatted with exFAT, which isn't widely supported by Android devices.

What about battery drain with this adapter?

I've got one, but it hasn't worked since I upgraded to KitKat. Stickmount doesn't seem to work for me, either. Does anyone have this working with KitKat? What's the trick?

No idea. I haven't noticed much of a difference. What are you trying to do? The main reason to use an adapter like this seems to be to play videos stored on a microSD card. I would strongly expect that the screen and CPU/GPU would be dominating the power usage in that case.

Unfortunately, the 4.4 update removed USB-OTG support. You can't mount USB sticks anymore (unless you root and install StickMount). However, you could use a third party application like Total Commander with the USB Stick plugin. You still can't mount the card, but you can access files through the Total Commander app.

It's a flash drive with a USB 2.0 connector on one side, and a micro USB OTG connector on the other. It's awesome. I do TWRP backups to this drive and it works like a charm.
Also handy for storing tons of videos.

FYI. I got USB OTG support working on my Droid Maxx. I'm rooted, but otherwise haven't done anything out of the ordinary to the phone. I don't think you have to be rooted to get it to work, but I have no way to verify that myself.
Anyway, the instructions are over in the Moto-X forum, and they work fine for the Maxx.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/otg-supported-4-4-2-unrooted-via-t2709553
The trick is to create a shortcut to the "Qualcomm Settings" app, run it, and enable USB OTG support there.

An interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.

BTW-OTG works as is on 444.

I am from India and using this Sandisk 2in1 USB Disk to transfer files to and fro (b/w DroidMAXX and any computer)... It costs 599Rs when I have bought... Working fine on OnePlus ONE also...

Micro SD Card Alternative?

I have a 64 gb micro sd card and i have a lot of stuff on my sd card to the point that it is almost full. I've been interested in the oneplus 3 for quite a while, mainly cuz of the community support and is more powerful than my phone that I'm currently using (Alcatel onetouch idol 3). I really want to get this phone soon but the only main gripe about this phone is that it doesn't have expandable storage. I was wondering if there is an alternative solution for the micro sd card for the oneplus 3? Ik that there is otg but it would be a hassle to carry it all the time so i would like to know if there is a better alternative? Thx for reading my post
P.S this is my first time on XDA xD

Not sure what you mean, USB OTG and cloud storage are gonna be your only options besides using the internal storage.
I'd recommend putting most of your stuff on the internal storage and carrying a USB-C flash drive for the rest if need be

There are some pretty decent options out there; there's a fairly new one I have yet to really try out called Degoo - 100GB free. https://degoo.com/g/f6Xw9M9
Some other large free options:
Mega - 50GB
hubiC - 25GB
Personally my main cloud goto is Dropbox - only cause it was my first and is easily accessible from any platform. Also, I have 55GB ( was able to get 50gb from some sort of promotion a while back) - if it was the standard 2GB or whatever it is, I would probably have moved on.
You could also look into getting something like a SanDisk Wireless Stick, while it would be something you would have to carry around, it could be a bit more convenient.

I agree with you, but it's 400 dollars with flashship specs so they had to cut corners somewhere. But then again the zte axon 7 is also 400 dollars with same specs (except the ram) and they have expandable storage. So idk why oneplus remove expandable storage in favor of dual sim. But i digress xD

I kinda knew you were going to recommend dropbox xD but I'll give it a shot. I'll look further into the wireless stick as well

Google Drive offers 15GB, Box offer 50GB.
I prefer to use more mainstream cloud storage solutions since less well-known ones with more storage tend to have worse performance and/or randomly go out of business (see Copy.com)

I've been using an OTG card reader and thumb drive and find it more convenient than having an internal sd card since you don't have to worry about removing the back cover or anything like that.

Yea, but the free option is most likely not large enough for the purpose you wish to use it for - so you will need to go with a paid option or find some promotion that'll get you more space.

Ah k. I'm about to go to ebay as well

I have 1TB of OneDrive with my Office subscription, so it's my go-to cloud option.
For OTG, I picked up an Aukey set of two microUSB to Type C adapters and an OTG adapter - no cable, just a solid little adapter - and I've had 64GB USB sticks on it with no issues, even the Logitech USB headset from my computer at work that we use for Skype connected to my OP3 just fine - even the inline volume controls worked! https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EWD939O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is the link to the set I bought. Very happy with it.

I think i am going more towards a usb c to micro sd card adapter cuz it's less clutter and i don't have to move my files into another sd card, but your otg adapter might be useful as well.

I also have a very very tiny microSD/USB adapter that works very well. I'm all about having adapters for everything! But yeah, a dedicated Type C microSD reader would work well for what you want here.

Wait for some company to make a case with external sd card

Memory stick like this is more useful, has usb-c and usb-a on either side for both phone and computer.
