What's the largest capacity USB HDD not externally powered anyone has successfully used with his/her SG S3 using an OTG USB cable?
Please, please be specific in terms of the capacity, format (NTFS, Fat32, etc.), brand, model, and the OTG cable used (preferably include where you bought it from) any other info you can provide. There are just so many different threads pertaining to S3 and I really can't tell under which one this topic should fit. I did search most forums but no one has yet provided this specific info. Just quite a few people reporting successes and failures without much details.
Again, I know lots and lots of people have successfully connected hard drives as large as 1 or 2 TB but they were externally powered . I want to see how large we can go by just directly connecting a hard drive (again, no flash drives, etc.).
Thank you all!

Yes, it is, but mine is USB2.0. Strange because I think that S2 portable was USB2.0 and M3 portable is USB3.0.
Mine has a mini-usb connector, so it is only USB2.0.

Well sad to report that this one did not work. Now so far I've only tried it in NTFS using Paragon which did not recognize it, but I don't think formatting it in Fat32 will make any difference ..

Some hard disks do not start with Galaxy S3 5V supply, because all of them are rated to 1A, but my Samsung S2 portable may have a soft start that do not drain more current than Galaxy S3 can provide.

You need PARAGON software installed to read NTFS and compressed volumes. My first try, even with paragon installed, said that the disk is blank, but i think when I restarted phone it started working.
For your information, I acquired a SanDisk 64GB Micro SD card. I put it on Windows, formatted it in NTFS, and put in my Galaxy S3. First it said that the volume whas blank, but some seconds paragon NTFS/HFS+ recognize it and let me browse the files.
The interest thing is that the phone's camera, and every function in the phone recognize the card with ntfs normally.

I have a Samsung G2 Portable 500GB. It works fine without any software. I just plugged it in and out worked. Played A Full HD movie from the it without hassle.
I'm interested in getting this tablet to replace my laptop while traveling. I need to somehow download microSD cards full of pictures taken from my DSLR into an external 2.5" USB drive. Can somebody verify that this tablet supports OTG and if so then it has enough juice for a 2.5" hard drive (or SSD)?
Thanks.
I was unable to get OTG to work.

All my recemt Samsung devices have supported OTG, so no reason why this one shouldn't.

You can use Total Commander and the USB plug in for it and it works fine and without root.
Otg working fine for me with mouse, keyboard, ps4 controller.
Stickmount Pro works the best in my opinion and allows you to use your favorite root explorer. Just create a shortcut to your home screen and when Stickmount mounts your micro drive all you have to do then is open the home screen shortcut

Hi, yes it does, I have used it on my tab s 10.1
I'm about to order a 10.5 LTE version but need confirmation that OTG is working.
Does it give enough power to get a 500GB HDD spinning up and running? Or will I need an external power source?
Many thanks in advance

No, a regular Western Digital "My Passport" USB HDD.
My Nexus 5 provides enough power without needing a y-cable/external power. But thats probably because it has a snapdragon 800 chipset.
The Tab S uses an Exynos 5 so I'm worried it won't be able to power up the drive.
Anyone tried a USB HDD with the tab S?
Many thanks in advance
Can't get my hdd to work on the t805 weird thought because my g3 can power it.
Galaxy Tab S 10.5 USB OTG works with my 32gb PNY flash drive. I formatted it first in FAT 32 and my drive was recognised instantly. You can double check if it is recognised under the 'storage' option in settings, then in the USB OTG storage tab.
Then i reformatted it in exFAT on my computer and it still works perfectly. It was instantly recognised upon plugging it into the tablet.
The USB OTB cable (micro usb to female usb) I used was a cheap generic ebay one which does the job. So yes, this device does support USB OTG natively (though I haven't tried NTFS format yet).

This post was from 2014. Is your OTG still working? Mine was working up until about a year ago and now it doesn't work. I am on version 6.0.1 with the SM-T705, not rooted. I have tried using the Total Commander with USB plug in, but the tablet doesn't recognize the 16 GB USB drive at all. Any other suggestions?

I have 3 OTT M8 boxes scattered around the house and would love a Remix OS build on them.
I dumped the crappy kitkat builds off them after about a week of buying them and run OpenELEC on them. It's fine for just Kodi but the device is capable of so much more.
I think the wife would love it on the one in the kitchen for browsing the web for recipes and the likes, not possible with OpenElec
So there's a big fat +1 for me on this. :good:
Any updates? Would love to use Remix OS on my M8
that would be great on S802/S805/S812
Would love remix on my onda v975m its based on the m802

They accept pre-paid cards thou. Just add $1 more for a clearance check.
I recently purchased an 8TB WD Portable HD from Best Buy (Cyber Monday special, 33% discount), formatted as exFAT. My Note 10 Plus can access the 8TB HD, read the files, open files, transfer files to and from my computer/HD.
And? exFAT is native for android. You could buy samsung T5 usb-c and transfer files directly to phone and vice versa (with greater speed)

Connecting my Note 10 Plus to my 8TB HD and transferring files is actually pretty fast !!! I can also have both my 8TB HD and my Note 10 Plus connected to my computer at the same time, and easily and quickly transfer files between all devices with no problem.
you connected phone directly to hdd or via multiport adapter for samsung dex?

1) I can connect my WD 8TB HD directly to my Dell laptop, and access from my Note 10 Plus (which is also connected directly to the laptop or to a Hub) ..... 2) I can connect my 8TB HD to a USB Hub, which is connected to the laptop, and also access from my phone .... 3) I can connect the 8TB HD to my Anker USB Hub, which is connected to the DeX Station (the original round dock) .... and 4) I can connect the 8TB HD directly to my Note 10 Plus. All four of these methods allow me to access the 8TB HD from my phone. Amazing technology ... !!!

ex fat makes no sense at all for that big HDD only NTFS do, but that isnt supported by android... except for some older androids with custom kernels..
